Would be nice, if you know that really was a thing. its loadout was this. (Yes I know it is just a Fan Film im not angry just letting you know, I really loved it.) Axial superlaser (1) Heavy laser cannons (550) Turbolasers (500) Ion cannons (75) Tractor beam projectors (100) Gravity well projectors (10) So either they got super lucky and rolled all Natural 20's on that engine shot, or whatever because the main powerful weapon on the Eclipse's was the Superlaser it had no huge main Cannon. And the Viscount had almost 3000+ more weapon systems on it and would have out damaged it in a Broadside Attack.
He mentioned some time back he isn't gonna make a part 2. The video as cool as it is didn't make the numbers it needed to justify making more. Improving quality with like EC Henry's latest models and effects would make a part 2 even more of a money sink. It's too bad really :(
To be fair the only movie that really had an good fleet battle was revenge of the sixth which you could argue isn’t even that good because of the focus not being on the battle.
I mean Rebel tactics revolve around using their smaller ships for hit and run attacks while reserving their larger ships for large battles since their resources are limited I get you tho
Eckhart: Battle of the Dreadnoughts is a way to test the water, to see if there is a real demand for this high quality animated space battle..... The answer to that question is HELLLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHH THERE IS!!!!!
2 years later and this is still one of my favorites of fan made Star Wars material. It stands as a testament at what could have come from Disney produced Star Wars if Disney had but tried.
Given the quality recent fan films, I can only imagine how amazing that would be. Sadly it probably won't happen because disney and their SJW shit will take action
The eclipse in my opinion is a really great weapon, the empire got creative by combining the death star with the executor to get the eclipse, very intelligent, I like the design and it fits well! Awesome space battle overall
That's superb. The scariest part was the Eclipse dreadnought vaporizing the Viscount in one shot. It's one thing to read how deadly an Eclipse superlaser is, but seeing it in action is jaw dropping.
I have to completely agree witnessing the destructive power of an eclipse class Star Destroyer super laser is a much greater Beast than just reading about it
"I was wondering if there was a demand for high-quality animated space battles" You know good and damn well what the answer to that question is: a big fat yes.
Was thinking the same thing, she should have at least a few star destroyers flanking her, not to mention a metric shit ton of fighters and other support craft.
@@ODST_Parker I mean the ship is so large it can probably house star destroyers and hell of a lot of fighters inside of it, the eclipse was 17.5 km long while an imperial class star destroyer was only 1.6km
@@JakubB2000 That's not how support craft work. That's why I hate the Infinity in Halo, you can't just strap smaller capital ships into a dreadnought just because it's big enough for it. The logistics of that would be insanity. Having them be in a coordinated battlegroup should be enough.
@@ODST_Parker I mean... its scifi fantasy, it's really cool to watch a ship launch a bunch of little ships, and then they just open up, so what if itd be difficult to do, if it's possible it can happen
This magnificent ship, is the Eclipse II, intended to be The Emperor's personal flagship. Normally in the Star Wars Universe, there is a negative relationship between arms and armor. More armor means fewer arms. More arms means less armor. The Eclipse is the exception to this rule. Massively armed, unbelievably armored, incredibly shielded, a generous compliment of fighters, and with a Coaxial Superlaser, The Eclipse is the shining jewel of military might. While not capable of total planet annihilation, it could render it uninhabitable and destroy most, if not all, ships in a single blast. This single Dreadnought is fully capable of engaging an entire fleet and emerging victorious.
I think the laser has a 25% effectiveness of the Death Star's laser, so it could definitely destroy entire cities with it, if not countries or continents.
@@JacobGrim According to the official star wars weapons guide it has a 3rd the power of the death star, thing can blow up small moons and destroy any ship with ease.
I'd like to see it done where part 2 pickup where this left off, part 3 is of some surviving ship going off on a new mission (like random X-wing in atmosphere), part 4 is X-wing back with it's support ship so there is some sense of continuation but can explore different aspects.
@@TheRealCartman1 I personally hate X wings because of Disney. They put them and Tie fighters in each movie. They have no imagination to make somethng new. I would like lot more in only B wings were fighters because they are more advanced than Xwings

Seeing part of this in Star Wars-related videos, it's even more impressive seeing the whole film. The detail of the vessels and actions make the battle appear something a lot more intriguing than the small fighter vs. fighter battles that always seem to fill most Star Wars films
I only have one complaint with this _gorgeous_ piece of artwork: Oh yeah! Here comes the B-Wings! Shit's gettin' real now! "The End! Roll Credits!" ...WHAT?! Dude, it was just gettin' to the best part! Why'd you have to cut it?! TTwTT

We desperately need more of this, you singlehandedly did more in these 5 minutes of cinema than anything good Kathleen Kennedy has ever done in the last 10 years. Bravo!
Yeehaw! Now this is space warfare! A shame it's so short, though. Once the alliance reinforcements arrived, I couldn't help but feel the battle was just beginning...
Life lesson for that Eclipse don't blow up a fancy Viscount if u do a massive Rebel Fleet shows up possibly out of nowhere will destroy u ESSD Admiral: Jump to Hyperspace Rebel Fleet shows up: NOPE ESSD Admiral: Alexa play my screwed up music montage Screwed up u failed music starts So that's why pick on transports good luck for a strong rebel convoy escort
@@jasoethesentienteyeshapedg4847 the Viscount had a significant escort fleet but they all jumped for some reason. Probably figured they wouldn't be much use in such a fight.
By now, I've seen this a thousand times in your vids. But with sound, this is a whole nother experience. I fully understand why you include it so much.
That's why this short film kinda ticked me off. I thought "Finally! I'll get to see B-Wings do what they're supposed to do and take on a capital ship." (Something I've never seen in any SW film, fan made or franchise). But then it was over.
I saw them and nearly started jumping in my seat. Then, cut to black. DAMN IT! xD The only time I remember seeing one in action is Star Wars Starfighter the game. Let's hope that changes with Ecky and co.
@@jennytalia6724 except that fighters in star wars are sooooooo op, basically meaning it would just mean the eclipse soundly goes down even while doing everything it can to fight back
Damn that viscount got FUCKED UP! Oh my goddd I love this lived up to hype 200× over no doubt! Looks 100% proffesionally made and thank you so much for showing an up close shot of the turbolasers firing I've ALWAYS wanted to see that!
Thats what happens ehen you basically take one of the death stars reactor lasers and put it on a dreadnaught. There were technically 2 of these, the second was the SSD Soverign. Both had frontal super lasers, but the soverigns front bow was far less pronounced. Accurate display
Wasn't it even mentioned somewhere by name? Even if the class wasn't specifically mentioned I seem to remember something about an Imperial ship called the Eclipse going missing between Endor and Jakku or something like that
They should have used the Eclipse in place of the Fulminatrix, the Supremacy, and the Xyston-class Star Destroyers, maybe even Starkiller Base too; it would have fulfilled all of those roles flawlessly
@@isaiahlee2902 kinda sounds like the Bismarck hunt being turned into a movie trilogy, eclipse wrecks the Resistance but they find something meaningful to blow up, eclipse comes back and lays waste to a majority of the Resistance and then they finally destroy is in the last episode. They kinda did that with the Malevolance in TCW, but still.
This is insanely high quality content, on par with projects like Astartes, if you happen to know that series. If you don't, I'd highly recommend checking it out, even if you're not a fan of Warhammer 40K. If you guys are willing to spend the time and effort creating more content like this, I'll absolutely watch it. No question about that.
Love the details included! At 1:50 you can see the damage caused by the Rebel’s broadside and the fires seen onboard at 1:08! And the stormtrooper near the turbo laser at 2:53 are a good reminder of scale (if the enormous super laser didn’t give it away 😂)
And this everybody, is why you don't attack with just one dreadnought. Or else you might as well just be screwed. Also eckharts, I love this, so plz do more
@woollimy Are YOU for REAL right now???? That roundhead piece of crap flick is nothing more than a very bad somehow Star warsish ripp off, that destroyed even more the Star Wars we all used to love. No need and no place for that SJW opinion from your side here...
I love the touch of how when the Eclipse exits hyperspace, the ion cannons on the Eclipse fire, disable a rebel support ship, and then the turbo lasers start firing and destroy the ship.
OMG THIS IS BETTER THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE GREAT JOB YOU GUYS! I really really hope for you guys that this project is going to go well and that you can make many more of these incredible films!

@@nickdouglas736 true. The MC80 Home One is 3.8 Kilometers long. The MC90 is 1.2 Kilometers long. The power is about the same however (As the MC90 is among the first true Warships built by the Mon Calamari).
Best B-Wing footage ever! Great job! I'm now motivated to go downstairs and play with all my SW dioramas! I'd love to see more B-WING battles.Excellent job!
I liked it! Clever editing of footage indeed! I liked the rebel ships coming in at the end. Makes me wish we would have seen the original cut of the space battle at Endor in ROTJ!
Now, that's a good job! Both technically and tactically. I'd like to see SW space battles where all ships give their best to survive and blast the enemy. After all these years with SW, we haven't seen what all those ships can do.
Longer battles feel usually too dragged on without context of the crew etc. He would probably need more crew shots or even make some nice scenes from scratch. This was great though.

Yes. More star wars, less jedi in impenetrable plot armor that make every other military asset around them irrelevant.

It is not the space battle we demand,
But the space battle we need
One even better quality then this! If that's possible... I mean, this is already overwhelmingly great! In a good way!
Hey im doing my best to try and get there for you guys
"Fire main batteries."
(Main batteries fire)
"Man that worked well, we should have lead with that."
Main batteries only have enough ammo for two shots?
Bigger weapon = slower reload
I understood that reference.
they might have run out of light!
it was very close though
The eclipse in my opinion is a really great weapon, the empire got creative by combining the death star with the executor to get the eclipse, very intelligent, I like the design and it fits well! Awesome space battle overall
well the rebels already combined the two, just not as... constructively...
The Only Problem whit this Film is that it Ends. Congratulations for the Excellent Piece of Artwork , I've given Replay 10 times !!!
Twas good
Yes but it was a short film
And that it's not in the canon
But the Eclipse Class Dreadnought has 10 gravity weld projectors which would prevent the initial ships from jumping to hyperspace.
魂コスモポリタン same my dude
I've watched a lot of fan-films and I've got to say, this one REALLY feels like Star Wars.

Seeing part of this in Star Wars-related videos, it's even more impressive seeing the whole film. The detail of the vessels and actions make the battle appear something a lot more intriguing than the small fighter vs. fighter battles that always seem to fill most Star Wars films
Way to leave us with a cliffhanger! Would love to see a sequel showing the outcome of the counter-attack. Great work guys!

I only have one complaint with this _gorgeous_ piece of artwork:
Oh yeah! Here comes the B-Wings! Shit's gettin' real now!
"The End! Roll Credits!"
...WHAT?! Dude, it was just gettin' to the best part! Why'd you have to cut it?! TTwTT
It was a battle of the Dreadnaught not a full fledged fight with a fleet.
Its the same as Episode 6, B-wings roll up looking badass, then fuck off to who knows where
Where's the Patreon so we can get a continuation of that fight?
Battleoid so it’s true to the lore then lol
I still need more B-Wing.
I don’t care how little it actually makes sense two giant spaceships fuxking broadsiding each other is always awesome
Shows how passion is equal or even worth more than multi million hollywood content.
In terms of vision? Sure. In terms of execution and quality id say thats a definite no.
@@MagikarpsSplash Depends what you mean by quality. I don't know what you mean by quality.
@@benjaminharris170 I was talking about the wok froml industrial light and magic did for the original three, soz. Disneys digital stuff is also way better than this.
@@dahelmang not bad, good, done to a standard that is seen as high tier. This video was none of these things.
@@MagikarpsSplash Oh ok then. Disney's Star Wars movies are objectively low quality.
This video was more enjoyable and more faithful to the originals. That's what is important. I don't see why you brought up quality.
That shot of the B-Wing was so beautiful I went back 10 seconds just to watch it again....only to then find out it was the end of the video. Gahhh more please!
SEQUEL!
Yes that last shot just... mmmm.

I hate the Zahn Consortium. Too OP
We desperately need more of this, you singlehandedly did more in these 5 minutes of cinema than anything good Kathleen Kennedy has ever done in the last 10 years. Bravo!
Yeehaw! Now this is space warfare! A shame it's so short, though. Once the alliance reinforcements arrived, I couldn't help but feel the battle was just beginning...
Samee
Now I can't get the image of Thrawn yelling "Yeehaw!" out of my mind. XD Thanks, I love it!
2:31 "Prepare for the jump to lightspeed."
*Rebel Fleet shows up* "Motherfucker! You are not getting away!"
Life lesson for that Eclipse don't blow up a fancy Viscount if u do a massive Rebel Fleet shows up possibly out of nowhere will destroy u
ESSD Admiral: Jump to Hyperspace
Rebel Fleet shows up: NOPE
ESSD Admiral: Alexa play my screwed up music montage
Screwed up u failed music starts
So that's why pick on transports good luck for a strong rebel convoy escort
It forgot to bring its own escort fleet, now here comes the starfighter support.
THE REPUBLIC STRIKES BACK!
@@jasoethesentienteyeshapedg4847 the Viscount had a significant escort fleet but they all jumped for some reason. Probably figured they wouldn't be much use in such a fight.
@@JeanLucCaptain I think it's like they were given the orders to call for help while the Viscount stayed behind to hold the Eclipse II back.
Im really impressed by that animation it's just amazing, it felt like watching a star wars movie. Im looking forward to more animations like that.
By now, I've seen this a thousand times in your vids.
But with sound, this is a whole nother experience. I fully understand why you include it so much.
So awesome! I really wanted to see it continue once the fighters came in! I would love to see more!
NO FIGHTERS!!! FIGHTERS ARE OP AND WILDLY OUT OF SCALES!!!!
*This is exactly the kind of quality I'm looking for*
(And I'm a serious critic of these kind of videos)
Excellent Job EC Henery and EckhartsLadder.
Eclipse: *Is most powerful ship in the Galaxy*
B-Wing: "Its free real estate"
That's why this short film kinda ticked me off.
I thought "Finally! I'll get to see B-Wings do what they're supposed to do and take on a capital ship." (Something I've never seen in any SW film, fan made or franchise).
But then it was over.
@@deanwest2744 Exactly! I hope if they make more of these we'll see some B-Wings in action. They're possibly my favorite ship in SW!
Dean West they are making a sequel,we just don’t know when it will be out.
1:32 This room really reminds me of the engine rooms in Star Wars Battlefront 2 OG in Space battles when you boarded the enemy ship with your friends
When you realize this wasn’t produced by a leading studio.
So like two seconds in when it started to look scuffed?

Urrghhhh, really wanted to see those b-wings in action! Thanks for this Eckharts, there is definitely a demand for more!
more b-wings
I know I was so excited to see the B wings attack
It's pretty much more B-Wing action than we've seen in all movie canon so far lol
I saw them and nearly started jumping in my seat. Then, cut to black. DAMN IT! xD
The only time I remember seeing one in action is Star Wars Starfighter the game. Let's hope that changes with Ecky and co.
@@jennytalia6724 except that fighters in star wars are sooooooo op, basically meaning it would just mean the eclipse soundly goes down even while doing everything it can to fight back
This is how I always wanted to see the glorious Destroyer Eclipse class. It’s simply awesome!
Damn that viscount got FUCKED UP! Oh my goddd I love this lived up to hype 200× over no doubt! Looks 100% proffesionally made and thank you so much for showing an up close shot of the turbolasers firing I've ALWAYS wanted to see that!
Damn, the viscount destroyed in one shot...
It just shows that you should never underestimate the empire
If it werent for plot armor, the empire would still win even with its flaws
I think that dreadnaught is the first orders.
@@jamesreidford6530
nope. dark empires (the main flagship of the reborn emperor in legends)
James Reidford Nope, not the First Order’s. That’s an Eclipse SSD.
Thats what happens ehen you basically take one of the death stars reactor lasers and put it on a dreadnaught.
There were technically 2 of these, the second was the SSD Soverign.
Both had frontal super lasers, but the soverigns front bow was far less pronounced.
Accurate display
THIS IS F*CKING AWESOME! You need to continue this.
This is 2 years old!? I feel like I’ve only watched this yesterday.
The Eclipse not being used in the sequels is an absolute travesty.
Wasn't it even mentioned somewhere by name? Even if the class wasn't specifically mentioned I seem to remember something about an Imperial ship called the Eclipse going missing between Endor and Jakku or something like that
They should have used the Eclipse in place of the Fulminatrix, the Supremacy, and the Xyston-class Star Destroyers, maybe even Starkiller Base too; it would have fulfilled all of those roles flawlessly
The sequels are an absolute travesty.
@@toastedjawa3620 Yeah, it was Palpatine's personal Executor. Like Lusankya in the old EU, except not buried under coruscant
@@isaiahlee2902 kinda sounds like the Bismarck hunt being turned into a movie trilogy, eclipse wrecks the Resistance but they find something meaningful to blow up, eclipse comes back and lays waste to a majority of the Resistance and then they finally destroy is in the last episode. They kinda did that with the Malevolance in TCW, but still.
Amazing! But when the Eclipse one shot the Viscount my heart broke.. such a beautiful ship blown up in an instant
like the Hood against Bismark
) :
Yea same! but deep down I knew the Viscount stood no chance without fighter escorts and more capital ships to distract the Eclipse.
@@Fordo007 Yea lol
I kinda predicted it. Once an eclipse lines you up, it's all over
This is insanely high quality content, on par with projects like Astartes, if you happen to know that series. If you don't, I'd highly recommend checking it out, even if you're not a fan of Warhammer 40K. If you guys are willing to spend the time and effort creating more content like this, I'll absolutely watch it. No question about that.
I would love to see a part two.
I would love to see the outcome of the counterattack, this was great and it should be a little mini movie
so yeeeeeeeeeessssssssss
That’s Da’Qar, the last rebel base. Just after that Poe flies out to the first orders ship at the beginning of episode 8
@@apuffycoat7318 Ummm no. I will in no way consider this having any relation to Ryan J's work. Episode 8 is trash - this fine work is NOT.

Why these rehashed completely un-clever comments get so many likes is beyond me.
@@chelonianegghead274 I dunno
On target!

@@chelonianegghead274 Because the universe HATES you.
Love the details included! At 1:50 you can see the damage caused by the Rebel’s broadside and the fires seen onboard at 1:08! And the stormtrooper near the turbo laser at 2:53 are a good reminder of scale (if the enormous super laser didn’t give it away 😂)
If this was a series, I would watch every episode.
better then the sequels tbh
Android _ Same
yeah ok agreed
yeah ok agreed

how about a Star Wars series where it’s just all ships
And this everybody, is why you don't attack with just one dreadnought. Or else you might as well just be screwed.
Also eckharts, I love this, so plz do more
Beautiful work! I could watch sequences like that all the time. Not just cgi but the actors and dialogue. Great team and it shows!
I really wish there was a part 2!!! Enjoyed this more than I've enjoyed anything that DisneyWars have put out 🤣💯
This short is better than every military or battle scene in The Last Jedi
@woollimy TLJ is shit
Not really. Same outcome. Imperial fleet wins again. BORING
@@Great_America mhhmm i guess you're right its kinda boring
@@comradekenobi6908 Boring beats boring, insulting and idiotic. So this short still wins.
@woollimy Are YOU for REAL right now????
That roundhead piece of crap flick is nothing more than a very bad somehow Star warsish ripp off, that destroyed even more the Star Wars we all used to love. No need and no place for that SJW opinion from your side here...
At first I saw the ships I was like "cool that's a nice looking original ship" then I saw the side and I was like "OH SHIT ITS THE ECLIPSE!!"
1:29 That’s alotta damage!
2:19 _HoW aBoUt a LiTtLe MoRe_
2:22 [Laughs in Sith] *NOW THAT’S ALOTTA DAMAGE!!*
I was confused why none of them bothered to turn on their sheilds
All you need is a bit of Flex tape to fix them holes
syaondri
Lmao
I love the touch of how when the Eclipse exits hyperspace, the ion cannons on the Eclipse fire, disable a rebel support ship, and then the turbo lasers start firing and destroy the ship.
Ooof, that money shot from the Eclipse... *THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE!*
I heartily look forward to more stuff like this on the channel.
OMG THIS IS BETTER THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE GREAT JOB YOU GUYS! I really really hope for you guys that this project is going to go well and that you can make many more of these incredible films!
It is a amazing what a small group of people can make at home now you don’t need big corporations for High-quality animation any more hope to see more
My favorite part of this is the deep hulking noise the Eclipse gives off as it's turning about to aim at the Viscount.
I love how Star Wars films and us fans just ignore the fact that there should be no sound in the vacuum of space. Who cares....
Badassery overcomes physics....lol
because it is a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... :D

its a work of fiction, its not meant to be realistic

It's so weird seeing the MC80 Home One acting as a support ship
I thought the same thing lol.
mc90
pog wog MC80 Home OneType. MC90s are shorter and broader. More potato than pickle.
@@nickdouglas736 true. The MC80 Home One is 3.8 Kilometers long. The MC90 is 1.2 Kilometers long. The power is about the same however (As the MC90 is among the first true Warships built by the Mon Calamari).
Richard Ched in the EAW mods the MC90s are significantly stronger than mc80s in terms of pure firepower but the mc80 are fucking tanks.
This battle is better than everything in the sequels change my mind
This video of 2 capital ships: Awesome, Perfect, Majestic and Epic as hell. Nice work EckhartsLadder
My dog watched this, he's now an Imperial Admiral and the best boi in the fleet

Now, that's a good job! Both technically and tactically. I'd like to see SW space battles where all ships give their best to survive and blast the enemy. After all these years with SW, we haven't seen what all those ships can do.
THIS IS SO GOOD OMG. I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH A 2 HOUR MOVIR OF LITERALLY JUST STARSHIPS FIGHTING AND FIRING THEIR MAIN BATTERIES OMG ITS SO COOL
Agreed
I LOVED THIS!!! Please make more (and longer) battleship vs battleship videos; I can't wait!!! Four thumbs up!
Longer battles feel usually too dragged on without context of the crew etc. He would probably need more crew shots or even make some nice scenes from scratch.
This was great though.
