So what you are saying is “what ship will the enemy hijack first.” I am not surprised that the suncrusher was taken by Han. They wouldn’t let the empire keep that.
You do know that the Falcon was owned by a number of corporations and people before Lando? Lando is not even the one who made the most modifications to it.
Yeah that thing in both legends and canon is about 100 years old come the time of the Resistance era and the Yuzong Vong era in their respective timelines So uh, no wonder it throws a fit every so often XD (well that and getting blown up at least once) Granted goes to show how good Corellian ships were that they were used for so long and they kept making some types for a long time Look at the CR90 for instance
@@tomaskops7119 And possibly plot shields too, lol. I think I read somewhere that some Corellian models were so popular due to their robust and 'shady' uses that they decided to bring it back into production, possibly as a limited edition or something.
Alan, with your *vacuum allergy,* have you considered _immuno desensitization therapy?_ You're exposed to small amounts of vacuum under controlled circumstances, and as your immune system adapts, the dosage is increased. It's completely worked for me with bee allergies, they got me up to a maintenance dose equivalent to one bee stings worth of venom, and I would get that monthly for several years till the adaptation held. And I'm cured! I've gone from "the next sting will kill you- here's a EpiPen, good luck" to being stung and the only annoyance was being stabbed by the bee stinger. The venom had no effect. See a qualified professional and they can order in some refined vacuum, and you can be injected with small doses of it, increasing to larger doses of vacuum being injected in your body as you learn to tolerate it. - good luck.
Honestly there's enough Wild and Unknown Region space for innumerable threats to the Empire/Republic/Galaxy. Hell, I'd love to see the emergence of Orks in the Unknown Regions. Nothing like a WAAAGH! to kickstart some fun!
That would be hilarious. Even Force-sensitice orcs...that would have to be an animated series. There is no way that can be done, and taken seriously in live-action.
I'm gonna come out and say it: I think the Grysk are a better enemy than the Vong. Also on a related note, I hope they retcon the First Order into the Templin institute version lol
@@sethb3090 Uhhh…. Umm…. No. Just….. no. The Yuuzhan Vong were the perfect counter to Jedi. They showed without the Jedi, the republic can’t stand. The Grysk are like the Silnieum to me…. But dumber.
What about the Starhawk? The thing is literally built from salvages star destroyers, it was so tough that the imperials themselves were impressed at it tankiness. They needed specialized war heads to even damage the thing, and it was still able to evade capture while be chased by imperial star destroyers and it even lasted a bit after the core was critically damaged too.
Yeah I remember, the Imperials feared it so much that after the player ISD in SW Squadrons retreated the rest of the Imperial strike force stayed behind to make sure it was destroyed only to end up being blown up.
I think I remember reading up on the Suncrusher. Basically, its weapon was design to fire at a sun and force it to go supernova, hence its name. Ultimately, the only way to destroy it was to send it hurling down a black hole.
I noticed the definition of 'ricer' has drifted beyond all recognition in a short time. It used to mean 'all show, no go' (Usually tastelessly) and much to be distinguished from making a Japanese car actually perform. :) In proper car terms terms, the Falcon is a 'sleeper.' Looks like not-much, (Apparently looks like a 'hooptie' in recent terms, in fact.) ...still kicks arse. :)
The Sun Crusher has several massive weaknesses. 1rst its slow. Although its nearly immune to energy its not immune to shooting it with solid objects. Also because of its slow speed you can easily capture it with tractor beams or tow cables. Hell you can probably even use a magnet to capture or even an ION weapon to disable it.
You don’t use a Death Star,a primary weapon to capture anything. Also a mirror that is clear enough can deflect most lasers, with a uniform molecular structure, that crystalline armor would be an excellent candidate for such a thing. Interestingly enough, such things would also be weak to kinetic weapons that center around solid objects.
U forgot to mention that in Legends, the Falcon took a direct hit from an experimental turbo laser and survived mostly intact (she did lose the central gun turrets and the gunners manning them though)
Actually the Subjugator class was pretty good but NOTHING compared to the luckrehulk class.The ion cannon was a really good ship but as far as durability went it took a floatilla at least to just break a luckrehulks shields let alone it’s armor ring or the central core,plus is was armed to the teeth in the later years of the clone wars vs it’s early counterpart in phantom menace.
I'd still take 20 Dreadnaught Cruisers over even 5 ISD's or 2 Subjugator Cruisers (although I'd classify the Subjugator class as a Battle Cruiser) Or just up-sizes the Hammerhead Cruisers
@@Obsidian_Gargantuan_Leviathan Kind of forgot about those... Just meant make the Hammerhead a little longer, 100 meters to pack in a few more Turbo Laser Turrets, or Torpedo lauchers
You might have a good point there actually. During the first scene of revenge of the sith you literally see every ship around them blowing up while they were barely even touched. Even when they destroyed one in episode one it was still mostly intact afterwards besides that nothing can get through their shields.
Its more of a space station with a very high quality hyperdrive and a super slow doughnut around it. Its primary use by the CIS was rapidly deployed blockades. If the empire was so propaganda oriented i promise they would retrofit one to by a place holder or even a dedicated interdictor.
You should make a video where you compare the acclamator class Stardestroyer, along side with the venator, to the imperial Stardestroyer mark II, and the imperial light cruiser!
The Suncrusher is the "that kid" of starships. You know... when you were a kid and there would always be that one kid who would come up with ridiculous superpowers and immunities when playing games? Yeah...that kid. The suncrusher is them.
You talked about normal star destroyers, but what about SSD’s. Or for people who don’t know Star Wars, super star destroyers. Some of these things had super laser cannon that could take out a whole mc80 home one.
Great video! You guys should make a video explaining clone generations and designations/birth numbers like CT CC CRC ARC ARF, since the Bad Batch marks a change in designation. Highlight the 200k clones that were first bred for Geonosis and some of the notable members from the Clone Wars/Bad Batch show that fought in the first battle. Then explain imperial operating numbers and personal from the OT and Rebels like those in Foot Patrol 7 and the TK TD and ISB designations.
Number one is a tie between every ship a main character is on. Last place is a tie for every evil ship that would be a game changer for the antagonist.
What's unrealistic is that the Hammerhead moved an ISD into another ISD with enough force to destroy both ships. as moving the first ISD so slowly that the second, which was under power should have just simply stopped it.
That was funny I think most life-forms are allergic to the vacuum of space,although I think there's one organism we found it can live in the vacuum of space
Durability really has to be evaluated by weight class, and canonically the Imperial Star Galeon is the best in it's medium (200m long) class. Not only is it armored and shielded, it has internal antiboarding defenses and the cargo modules are all capable of escaping into hyperspace individually to keep their cargo out of rebel hands. If not getting exposed to vacume is your criteria for 'durable' then this takes the cake. Another ship that should have gonten mentioned along with the Dreadnagut is the Carrack light cruiser, it was made by Demoreon
Honestly I think the real problem with the sun crusher isn't how powerful it is it's that the empire built it honestly I wouldn't have really any problem with it if it was like an ancient celestial artefact that the empire found so that's the head canon I go with
Great video, also anyone else that the Melovolance is the Star Wars equivalent of the Bismarck?, I think u missed Exector, yes she was taken out by a single A Wing but let’s not forget that’s she and her sister Super Star destroyers are basically 19 kilometers of “ fuck you and your fleet.” Seeing as one could probably take out a new republic fleet. Also u missed the Vicount, the new republic counter to the Exexutoer.
I have to wonder what the empty and maximum weights are of that Dreadnought class cruiser. It sounds like it would be as heavy as another ship at least 2-3 times its size.
In vacuum, shouldn't the pressure go from the inside to the outside, ya know, contrary to underwater? Because usually when there is a lot of something, in this case GAS, it should go where there is little of it, which is everywhere except in the ship. The ships therefore should be rather unstable?
Well actually, these things are so old and cost a lot of crew, the dreadnaughts that is. The Empire didn't refit them because they were great, the Empire refitted them because it was more cost-effective. They suffer from low power, mainly on shields and hyperdrive which makes them obsolete compared to bigger and newer ships. The hull isn't even that strong, not even the same of a Star Destroyer.
So what you are saying is “what ship will the enemy hijack first.” I am not surprised that the suncrusher was taken by Han. They wouldn’t let the empire keep that.
Wasn't han originally but one of Skywalker's jedi

That's ironic, since supernovas are caused by a sudden loss of energy, not the other way.
My most favorite here are the Mon Calamari cruisers and the Malevolence. So thank you for adding them into the list!

I’m glad you put the legends quantum crystalline ship on the list. And you even mentioned it’s ability to deflect deathstar level attacks.

Though no match against the Toyota Technicals 😜

Thanks for the insight once again
I think one of the Eclipse Dreadnaughts or a World Devastator would be in the top tier of durability. Dark Empire tech was ridiculous tbh-
Isn’t the Death Star technically a ship? Just put some duck tape over the exhaust port thingy and you’re good to go
My brain is struggling between paying attention to what Alan is saying and the lyrics to the song in the background. @_@
I'd love to see a similar video across multiple TV/Movie franchises. *Cough* Galactica.
You forgot the Ebon Hawk. That ship probably holds the record for surviving the most crash landings by a Star Wars ship.
In legends Imperial Star Destroyers are literal tanks (imagine Vader’s ship in rogue one but in any confrontation)
Give me two lucrehulks, a Malevolence, some dreadnaught cruisers, a few mon calamari ships and a Venator or two and I’ll conquer the galaxy.
