I always loved the Starkiller angle, how he was kinda the seed of the rebel alliance and it was basically because of him it all started, and I'm sad his story is no longer canon.
Actually the Rebels probably did at many engagements as they used whatever ships they could weld armour and weapons on and some extra shields perhaps in their fight against the Empire. They even stole ships from the empire like the Nebulon-B frigate.
***** You happy now with your life mate? You can go ahead back in your mom's basement and cry about how you don't have any friends. Fucking savage little kid.
nah more like the Yugoslav partisans of World War 2 Both had small (compared with their adversaries) Air-Forces and Navies that they had to obtain from supporter (ie. Small armed boats - CR-90 Corvettes) and also small air forces with pilots from their enemies who defected and from volunteers.
The Rebel Alliance reminds me of America during the Revolutionary War, and the French Maquis from World War II; while the Empire reminds me of the British Empire, and Nazi Germany during World War II.
+Larry-three “Larry-3” I think the Rebel Alliance is closer to ISIS down to having a high command lead by religious people, with Sector forces being closer to their other Islamic allies around the world. I guess the Mon Calamari is Turkey. Just like the Rebel Alliance many ISIS vehicles are non military design. And seek to return the world to an older Order(The Caliphates and the Old Republic) With Gharm Iblis like Al Qaeda and just like ISIS a superpower help create them unwittingly. The Empire I agree reminds me of a mishmash of the British and Nazis.
Bob MiLaplace The Rebel Alliance is nothing like ISIS. ISIS targets many religious people; while the Alliance favors freedom -- that includes religious freedom. They also do not send their soldiers to bomb civilians. If anything the Rebel Alliance only prioritizes Imperial targets and goes out of their way to help civilians. From what I read in the E.U., the Empire seemed more closer to terrorist.
Larry-three No not my tactics only by administration purposes, ISIS and the Rebellion are ideologically divergent but they use similar tactics. The Rebellion is more principled on their targets and assassinations.
+Bob MiLaplace Guerrilla fighters are NOT the same as Terrorists. A Terrorist works to indiscriminately instill fear or Terror in the general populace a sew panic and over reaction in the government they are attacking. Guerrilla fighters attack only military or otherwise priority targets, but ONLY those targets of value to the overall mission.
DocWolph Guerrilla fighters and terrorists only difference is that the Free World funds guerrilla fighters and kills terrorists Everything else? Not much
+ShadowWriter45 As the video states in the beginning, this video has information from star wars legends. There isn't enough information in the star wars canon to make a detailed video like this as of now. Though in the future, when the canon universe is established more, I will remake this video using only canon sources. Thanks for watching!
+Fact Free it makes me sad to see so many star wars lore channels surrendering to disney canon. disney can call the EU legends untill they are blue in the face, but i will never surrender the EU, it will always be canon in my eyes.
Kin Vao I will always be doing EU videos, along with the Canon videos. I personally consider both the EU and the new canon to be all one big canon (well, until they start to drastically contradict each other that is).
If you throw in the story from the PC game Tie Fighter, the Empire had more issues than just the Rebels. Admiral Zaarin tried to throw a coup, nearly captured the Emperor himself, and though he did not have biggest fleet, his fleet did pull a great deal of resources from the Empire to engage him. Zaarin did not ally with the Rebels, but both of them used each other.
Basically, the Rebel Alliance went through two phases in the early years of the Galactic Civil War: The first phase is basically hit-and-run, mostly since the Rebels were outgunned by the superior numbers of the Imperial war machine, and popular support was at an all-time low. The Battle of Yavin ended that phase with the destruction of the Death Star. The second phase is open war, because with the Death Star destroyed, the Rebels were free to take on the Imperials at any time they please. Even the loss of their main bases on Yavin IV and Hoth did not slow them down. This continued into the era of the New Republic.
Guess all that's true in canon. I mean everything that's happened with the rebels before "Episode 4 A New Hope" was not going so well for them at first.
I looked into it as much as I could and from what I gathered the total strength of the Rebel Fleet numbered at least 661 ships and 2,000 Starfighters. No doubt the starfighter number may be higher but that's what I came up with.
WHAT 661 ships and 2,000 starfighters Like damn, the empire is big but lost to this ? Well too bad for them And I know you guys will say plot Armor But we are talking about star wars not behind the scenes Like the rebels have to be talented for a small numbers like them to take down the Galactic empire
Great video, but you forgot about the Alliance Vanguard, i think they were part of the Alliance Forces, but as the name suggests, they were the Vanguard in many battles. They were frequently the first ones to be sended to battle, including suicide missions, and their training was much better than the average rebels forces xD
I would like to see one that extensively went over the different military trooper types of the Empire and the Alliance. They have varied military forces. Sure the Empire is more uniform, but they have so many different stormtroopers, mostly human, some are clones, some are droids, some are both! I mean like Inferno Troopers and Heavy Troopers, Biker Scouts, their stats a few notes, etc etc.
+The Jim Reaper™ Sadly, you are right, sort of. There was degrees of canon. George Lucas's canon on top, television series (The Clone Wars) canon next, and then the book and games. However, only the general story of the games was canon and the actual gameplay mechanics less so. That's the official stand anyways. In my experience some of the specific things happening in the games were glossed over as well.
To me, the power of the resistance can be measured by luke, leia, han and the other companions brought together at tge fall of alderan. This team, later with lando and then their families were pivital turning the odds many times at late, unretrievable times, eg the first death star. This small team did lots in encouraging and giving others the belief that they caould succeed and make a difference
Kammak Richerson I think the Rouge One, Force Unleashed, and Rebels origins could combine into one big origin. Like, all 3 rebel groups unite into one super rebel alliance.
I Think the The Force Unleashed story will stay, but recasted with Disney Cnon characters. Say, Ezra Bridger takes Galen's place; Kanan Jarrus takes Rahm Kota's
Rebel alliance at 4 ABY vs the covenant, jedi are allowed. I personally vote for the rebel alliance because SW has energy based weapons on every ship which would whittle away the energy shields of covenant ships. If they can destroy two death stars, they can find a way to kill the long night of solace or high charity.
+ManofChrist101 High Charity is larger than the Death Star. Also, although the Rebel ships would be could against Covenant shields, the Covenant ships have glassig canons that could melt right through the Rebels, and their fighters have much stronger shields.
+Clumsy0015 Glassing cannons only work from underneath, the rebel ships (even the small ones) are more agile and have hyperdrives. They could outflank the covenant cruisers and bomb them from above.
Are you going to do a video about the Battle of Jakku? Taking place 1 year and 4 days after the Battle of Endor, it was the largest battle since that one. When the Battle of Jakku ended, the Imperial Navy's back was broken with heavy losses among ships and starfighters. It was a resounding victory for the New Republic, so much so, that months later, combat had become few and far between with rumors abounding of a Complete Imperial Surrender around the corner.
+rocco johnson Starkiller was too powerful, Vader kills hundreds of Jedi Masters but Anakin 2.0 comes along pulling Star Destroyers out of the sky and besting Vader and almost the Emperor in a duel, the same Emperor that Lucas said was the strongest force user in the galaxy.
+Wotzitify lets be honest here Luke got his azz handed to him. If it wasn't for the fact he was Vader's son, He would have been dead. He convinced his father(Vader) to save him which he did. Also remember the emperor made Vader's suit faulty in purpose so Vader couldn't take him head on. Now with Star Wars EU eventually Luke did become the strongest Jedi, but mostly because there was anybody around for a long time. There were others but they were gathering their strength just like Luke was. Remember Luke didn't win, Vader saved his kid. lol
Its not how powerful they were, it was how well organized they was. The military arm was pretty good, but it was very flexible in both strategic and tactical situations. They KNEW that early on they would be trashed going nose to nose with the imperial fleets. They stuck with hit and run tactics, biding time and getting more worlds to join the Alliance. This level of organization upset Palpatine badly and ordered Vader to sortie his squadron and hunt them down. This was dated 6 months before the holding action at Hoth. They could afford to lose either planetary bases or the fleet, but not both.
I don't know who to support anymore. Both sides have valid claims to good. The Alliance fights for freedom, but the Empire tries to maintain peace. My problem with the Empire is their utter disregard for life. Maybe if the Empire didn't have a power-hungry, truly evil Sith for a leader, I would hold a different opinion...
What disregard for life? Alderaan? Alderaan was sending troops and ships to the rebellion. The Empire was wholly justified in defending themselves. The Empire has done bad things, but as you are hopefully aware, the Republic has killed *far* more people. I did the math, and on average, the Republic kills more people *each hour* than the Empire does *in 20,000 years*
+Jen'Ari-Asha You are right. The Republic is far worse. But, as stated, I don't support the Republic. I support the Alliance. At least until they became the Republic.
xShadow045x So your brilliant plan is to topple a stable government and replace it with nothing? Ask Iraq how that turned out. You can't just destroy things, you need to replace them with somethings. This is the thing I don't get with the Rebels. You can't solve problems by just blowing up Imperials. Some day, the Rebels will loose their scapegoat and people will realize how horrible the system they want to implement truly is. Supporting the Rebel alliance but not their end goal is like supporting the neo-nazis but hating Hitler.
+Jen'Ari-Asha No, I support what the Alliance ONCE was. Not what they wanted to restore. Yes, their end goal was something I didn't like. But, the Alliance changed when they became the Republic.
I actually think that the leaving of Imbles and the death of Organa helped the Allience in the long run. It united them under 1 leader who's right to lead was unquestioned.
You should do the Republic and Separatists for future vids, as well as their canon versions and the First Order in the future once the sequel trilogy is finished. (Though that will take some time) I can wait for more resources though for the canon versions. So I'll wait.
I like the rebels...and I admit they are kind of terrorists...but then again in Star Wars Canonns the Empire slaved species like Wookies, blew up multiple planets, and goddamnit why do you have Hitler in a metal suit? "Vadar" even killed himself...don't forget that they don't allow other species in their military...
So like the french resistance when they liberate a planet they make females collaborators parade naked in the street a la game of thrones? As the saying goes: one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter and vice versa. They are a straw-man good guy written by writers to conform to their ideal of good without any consideration for the reality of war and victory in said war.
Same here! The rebel alliance was fighting for a good cause against a corrupt senate that became something evil since Palpatine (darth sidious) took over with damn lies and appointed himself emperor of the galaxy.
The alliance had shit for combat capitalships. In space it's survival of the strongest, not the juste. Hence the military might would win. The only reason why the rebels won in the movies is because.... a movie.
+Dreez76 The Empire is spread throughout the galaxy. They were spread pretty thin. It's like how the 13 colonies won vs the British. Hit and run tactics is hard to beat :P
+Dreez76 Well, those movies are also the entire basis for Star Wars canon. So you're basically saying "If Stars Wars wasn't actually Star Wars, and the things that happened didn't happen, then the rebels would have lost."
+Christian Dauz Very good point that most do not consider. Occupation is much harder than razing everything to the ground. It's like most people have not played any Civilization game?
Treeckogaming18 7 jedis is nothing. Darth Vader killed hundreds of jedis in the great jedi purge. Rahm Kota, Ashoka, Ezra, Kanan. All of those would be distractions for him at best. Luke is the only one that would even stand a chance.
Jonathan Crichlow You know you have won the argument when the other participant begins to speculate about your sexual orientation. 😏 I do not get offended in the slightest manner if you call me a faggot or such.
+TheHolyDarkness Yup, the plucky brits eventually managed to take down the American death laser station after a short, brutal battle, and all the world celebrated that America need be feared no more.
During the revolutionary war yes, you are correct. But then, I wasn't talking about the revolutionary war. More like WW3. You know, if Trump ever becomes president.
+Grizabeebles Frankly, more similar to Al-Qaeda. ISIS fights their battles, whilst the rebels use hit and run tactics. They do quick attacks and then run away before the Empire can organize their forces. So yeah, they're more like Al-Qaeda than ISIS.
Grizabeebles and the fact that they don't follow a death cult, they don't strap bombs to themselves, they also believe in democracy and not religious law. So if by "like ISIS" you mean "not even remotely like ISIS at all" then yes.
3:44 -- The Alliance made frequent, possibly _excessive_ use of suicide attacks and terrorism in order to defeat the Empire. Watch Rogue One now that its out and you'll see what I mean. Hell, watch season 3 of the Star Wars Rebels cartoon. The Rebels fought dirty because they felt they *had to* to win. They went pretty much the *entire war* without a decisive victory except for Scarif, Yavin and Endor. Their primary operations were sabotage, lightning raids and hit and run attacks. Their *motivation* may have been political rather than religious, but their *tactics* had a frightening amount in common with modern-day terrorist networks.

I feel the same way, that force unleashed story of how the rebel alliance was founded because of Galen Marek aka Starkiller was very interesting!
What would be amazing would be to see the Rebels use old separatist capital ships and reprogram droids to fight for them. it would be awesome.
Well there was an event where the rebels assaulted the Death Star prior to ANH and a CIS Lukrehulk was part of the assault force.
Now THAT would've been a good idea!
Actually the Rebels probably did at many engagements as they used whatever ships they could weld armour and weapons on and some extra shields perhaps in their fight against the Empire.
They even stole ships from the empire like the Nebulon-B frigate.
They probably did. Its just most of them are now floating debris in space.
The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

You are right. The Republic is far worse. But, as stated, I don't support the Republic. I support the Alliance. At least until they became the Republic.
xShadow045x So your brilliant plan is to topple a stable government and replace it with nothing?
Ask Iraq how that turned out.
You can't just destroy things, you need to replace them with somethings.
This is the thing I don't get with the Rebels. You can't solve problems by just blowing up Imperials. Some day, the Rebels will loose their scapegoat and people will realize how horrible the system they want to implement truly is.
Supporting the Rebel alliance but not their end goal is like supporting the neo-nazis but hating Hitler.
+Jen'Ari-Asha
No, I support what the Alliance ONCE was. Not what they wanted to restore. Yes, their end goal was something I didn't like. But, the Alliance changed when they became the Republic.
I like this EU because it doesn't really conflict with canon so I can accept it. Amazing job as usual
I prefer the EU too! That's the legends timeline where the rebel alliance was a little more stronger than how they were in canon.
A force seeking to destroy always has the advantage against a force seeking to build.
This is not only no longer canon but it also combines the old and new canons
The empire was quantity over quality the rebellion was quality over quantity
wrong actually it,s opposite way around
I actually think that the leaving of Imbles and the death of Organa helped the Allience in the long run. It united them under 1 leader who's right to lead was unquestioned.
I would side with the rebels and the Jedi because they always do good things and make things right
So would I and the empire was nothing but EVIL plain & simple!
This video is remarkably motivating
sign me up for the spec forces
is the drawing at 1:27 from some story or is it just someones artwork? shows the red imperial guards fighting
TL,DR the Alliance was very powerful because of plot armor.
Great video, very interesting
I only support the teachings of Lord Helix.
You should do the Republic and Separatists for future vids, as well as their canon versions and the First Order in the future once the sequel trilogy is finished. (Though that will take some time) I can wait for more resources though for the canon versions. So I'll wait.
I like the rebels...and I admit they are kind of terrorists...but then again in Star Wars Canonns the Empire slaved species like Wookies, blew up multiple planets, and goddamnit why do you have Hitler in a metal suit? "Vadar" even killed himself...don't forget that they don't allow other species in their military...
They enslave most of the non human species
+kok namm they even treated aliens as second class citizens
So like the french resistance when they liberate a planet they make females collaborators parade naked in the street a la game of thrones? As the saying goes: one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter and vice versa. They are a straw-man good guy written by writers to conform to their ideal of good without any consideration for the reality of war and victory in said war.
Rope i think you need to look up the definition of terrorism. If thwy were terrorists, then so was America when it fought for independence.
Whether they were terrorists or not the rebels were heroes fighting for a good cause against the corrupt tyranny and cruelty of the Empire.
0/10 you did not mention that rebels had suport of Battlestar Galactica 7:44 lower right corner
BTW great video :)
How did the rebel alliance keep their capital ships hidden?
Your voice sounds like the guy who makes the fighters description in Rogue Squadron.
I would be on the rebels side.
Same here! The rebel alliance was fighting for a good cause against a corrupt senate that became something evil since Palpatine (darth sidious) took over with damn lies and appointed himself emperor of the galaxy.
FOR THE REBELLION!!!!!
RIGHT ON!!!
This is your best video. :D
¿Can you do something abouth the yuuzhan vong war?
+fact free i will join the rebel alliance because i want to bring back the galaxy to its democratic ways
Awesome video
The alliance had shit for combat capitalships. In space it's survival of the strongest, not the juste.
Hence the military might would win. The only reason why the rebels won in the movies is because.... a movie.
Because of Plot Armor
+Dreez76 The Empire is spread throughout the galaxy. They were spread pretty thin. It's like how the 13 colonies won vs the British. Hit and run tactics is hard to beat :P
Dimitri Sainis But the British did not institute a scorch Earth policy!
If they did, they would have won!
+Dreez76 Well, those movies are also the entire basis for Star Wars canon. So you're basically saying "If Stars Wars wasn't actually Star Wars, and the things that happened didn't happen, then the rebels would have lost."
+Christian Dauz Very good point that most do not consider. Occupation is much harder than razing everything to the ground. It's like most people have not played any Civilization game?
0:48 that thing beneeth on the screen looks like a heroe pickup from Star Wars Battlefront
The rebel alliance because of the large jedi numbers, a government not based on fear, and large numebrs of rebel defecters
+I love gaming1 and they have have Rahm Kota,Starkiller,Luke,Ashoka,Ezra, and Kanan that is 7 jedi!
+Treeckogaming18 7 jedi? Thats cute.
eckabacken9
wtf you mean
Treeckogaming18 7 jedis is nothing. Darth Vader killed hundreds of jedis in the great jedi purge.
Rahm Kota, Ashoka, Ezra, Kanan. All of those would be distractions for him at best.
Luke is the only one that would even stand a chance.
eckabacken9
Starkiller and Luke and Ashoka could take Vader while Ezra Kanan and Kota use the force to hit him with force pushes
I would like to see an update to these videos, but from a more canon perspective, or just a more updated version from Legends.
I enjoyed that Video!😉
TL;DR the Rebels got as far as they did because plot armor
No they used guerilla warfare.
Fact Free, can you make a video showing and explaining all or most of the imperials that joined the rebels?
Long Live the Empire.
Battle of Jakku. Empire lost BADLY lol.
+TheStewieOne The Empire is EVIL!
+Kargath Bladefist (WoD) Great Galactic War. Jedi lost BADLY lol.
Fuck off
+TheStewieOne Down with the Empire
That Ion cannon in Empire Strikes Back? Hell of a tool if it can stop a Star Destroyer!
Everything from the video game, including Galen Marik, have been tossed from canon.
+Ryeguy123a Thank god for that.. :D
+Vertti Seppälä fuck off
Jonathan Crichlow Salty much?
Vertti Seppälä
faggy much?
Jonathan Crichlow You know you have won the argument when the other participant begins to speculate about your sexual orientation. 😏 I do not get offended in the slightest manner if you call me a faggot or such.
Ahh yes guerilla warfare, the only way to kill a elephant is to make it bleed
So basically, America verses the British Empire?
+TheHolyDarkness Yup, the plucky brits eventually managed to take down the American death laser station after a short, brutal battle, and all the world celebrated that America need be feared no more.
Indeed.
+Garlic Breath you're kidding right? that's the other way around...during the revolutionary war..
During the revolutionary war yes, you are correct. But then, I wasn't talking about the revolutionary war. More like WW3. You know, if Trump ever becomes president.
+KeepReign well during the revolutionary war the Americans suffered more casualties
This should be a promo vid for the rebels
My take-away from this is that the Rebel Alliance has a lot in common with ISIS. That is, aside from the whole "televised beheading" thing.
+Grizabeebles Frankly, more similar to Al-Qaeda. ISIS fights their battles, whilst the rebels use hit and run tactics. They do quick attacks and then run away before the Empire can organize their forces. So yeah, they're more like Al-Qaeda than ISIS.
The rebellion was more like the allies during ww2. Also the patriots during the American revolution
Zee Cool Most people here are just ignorant, you on the other hand, you're willfully ignorant.
Grizabeebles and the fact that they don't follow a death cult, they don't strap bombs to themselves, they also believe in democracy and not religious law. So if by "like ISIS" you mean "not even remotely like ISIS at all" then yes.
3:44 -- The Alliance made frequent, possibly _excessive_ use of suicide attacks and terrorism in order to defeat the Empire. Watch Rogue One now that its out and you'll see what I mean. Hell, watch season 3 of the Star Wars Rebels cartoon.
The Rebels fought dirty because they felt they *had to* to win. They went pretty much the *entire war* without a decisive victory except for Scarif, Yavin and Endor. Their primary operations were sabotage, lightning raids and hit and run attacks.
Their *motivation* may have been political rather than religious, but their *tactics* had a frightening amount in common with modern-day terrorist networks.
Yay you used pictures from my favorite Star Wars game
Rebel Alliance All the way because they they were trying to bring piece to the galaxy
what are the songs used in this video
