I love when he makes those 3D models for ships in a fleet scene, they'rr my favourite and I've seen them all numerous times. Wish he would do another vid like that.
Hire? Given all the uncredited and poorly-edited fan art appearing in Star Wars Marvel comics, more likely Disney is going to move on from stealing fan designs to stealing the artists themselves.
@@prtfdc2 If they do, going off past experience what will probably happen is someone decides to feature the Snowspeeder used on Hoth in their comic, googles "T-47 snowspeeder" and stumbles across EC Henry's unarmed civilian design, uses that without double-checking and calls it a "Rebel snowspeeder" XD
The Xenomorphian Bruh, ship design in the last couple of years has been hit or miss but the hits have been bullseyes. Have you even seen the U-Wing? The Razorcrest? The Resurgent? There’s a lot of good stuff going on over at Lucasfilm these days. Screw those dumb not-ISDs in TROS, though, those are really uncreative.
The snow speeder, modified with armor plating, stronger outboard laser cannons, and a harpoon tow cable for the rear gunner is not a true flight craft but a repulsor craft. So the flight ceiling is quite low. It hugs the ground well and is quite maneuverable but the addition of deflector shields was deemed costly and time consuming so watch yourself. The controls are quite similar to the X-Wing so don't worry about additional training.
@@randomstormtrooper3345 And people accuse the sequels of being contradictory to lore. While the speeder was so for certain immediately after it's lore was exposited.
I would buy a coffee table to hold a big book called "Interpretations of expanded Star Wars Lore "by EC Henry. From warships and speeders to bases, cantinas and sewer hatch designs.. interpreted and extrapolated by EC Henry. Careful, Favreau and Feloni might try and poach your stuff!
Favreau and Feloni tend to give credit where credit is due. Marvel and some of the other book publishers only loosely associated with the film/tv side have been plagiarizing fan made stuff alot, still uncertain if it is happening at the editorial level or artist level though.
@Mitch Lang I mean, if you kept your head down, you may be fine. Though on the outer rim, there is a reason why most everyone carries a baster and civilian crafts are at least lightly armed...
Next video idea, because you did a “what the millinium falcon looks like in Star Trek”, I want to see a “what the USS Enterprise would look like in Star Wars”.
A Battlestar Galactica would visually fit quite well in Star Wars. A greebled Defiant or Bird of Prey might work, too, but I think the usual style of Federation saucer-pylons-tubes just wouldn't fit into Star Wars at all. Though I'm sure that EC Henry could still make it work, somehow, if he wanted to.
Being a star Trek fan, I honestly am curious on both of those because I feel like the falcon, xwings, ywings and the naboo fighter Would look good in the trek universe
The Death Star is an orbital battle station that is used for military purposes, the fact that it can destroy a planet pretty much solidifies the fact that it's not meant for civilian use...
The main weapon could be replaced with huge docking and repair facilities and the reactor could power large holographic arrays on the surface for advertising purposes.
The Imperial version of the T-47 is EPIC. Between this and the Imperial Nebulon B (and the TIE Vector), you really have an eye for the Imperial aesthetic. Keep it up!
I'd love to see some stuff on the Firespray Class Patrol Ship, like Slave 1. I always thought it was unusual that such a weird looking ship was designed to guard a prison. When I was young I thought "Firespray" literally meant the ship was used to firefighting, with hoses instead of guns on the tail. Would love to see your take on prototypes or different versions of this weird ship.
I haven't seen Rebels or Clone Wars, but does any other Firespray show up that's not Slave I? I know it's a starting ship in the Edge of the Empire TTRPG, but I've never seen anyone other than the Fetts use it.
@@ncapone87 It doesn't look like any Firespray other than Slave 1 has been in anything. Granted, only 6 were ever made, and Jango destroyed the other 5.
Everything you make I adopt into my RPG sessions as canon until contradicted by sources. You creativity around ships has lead to fantastic adventures including an entire session revolving around my players hijacking one of the few Imperial Nebulon B's enlisted into service.
Han: Are the speeders ready? Rebel Trooper: We're having trouble adapting them to the cold. This vehicle was not designed for snow or extreme cold. People just watch Star Wars but don't listen to what anyone is saying.
The trouble was that its radiator fins were too efficient in Hoth's cold, so they needed to insulate them. Sort of like how cars in cold climates often have block warmers.
I think it's how like, if you're ordering a fleet of commercial vehicles (cargo vans, for example) from like, Ford, you have a bunch of different options as far as what exactly you want Ford to put on them.
@@Jaydee8652 LMAO wow your right. i guess i forgot to post it. starting watching the video. then scrolled back down to to add the edited part without realizing i didn't post the original.
A suggestion for an upcoming video: what if you custom designed your own “Letter Fighter”. You’ve already created your own tie fighter (looks awesome btw) but you haven’t made a custom Rebellion ‘Letter’ Starfighter. They have the X-Wing, Y-Wing, U-Wing, A-Wing, B-Wing, K-Wing and others throughout the Star Wars universe. I was curious if you’d design your own “Letter” ship, perhaps an E-wing or C-Wing considering your channel title. I look forward to seeing what else you create man!!!
The E-Wing was an attempted successor to the X-Wing. Due to an over-reliance on specially-made components, including the astromech droid, the New Republic stuck with the X-Wings.
I'd like to see theoretical imperial descendents of clone wars era capital ships, similar to how the security is developed from the venator. One idea for this would be an imerial model of a lucerhulk II bringing the design more in line with imerial design language and repurposing the central computer core space with a huge hospital and troop support system. I imagine the imperials would have commissioned this design and ordered a small number after the conclusion of the clone wars in order to anchor blockades and support troops fighting to expand imperial rule and subjugate dissident planets. I would see this as a sharper, leaner version of the CIS lucerhulk, with the ring being less of a doughnut and more of a frisbee, removing most of the huge dishes and antenna and replacing the central sphere with something more angular, perhaps a sort of blunted wedge shape. Typically imperial designs are primarily angular with a few rounded elements like sensor domes, reactor spheres and cockpits so I'd like to see a design with these rounded elements forming the primary framework, making the angular elements secondary.
You don’t really need to, just take the Onager class, and give it the Xystons upgraded gun. Maybe you could also modernize it by giving it a more first order styled bridge
I like that he included industrial uses as part of this, since from what I've seen and heard it seems the snowspeeders were indeed once something along the lines of industrial tugs. :)
Would love to see a “legends” New Republic refit of the Nebulon-b where they return it’s armour and expand it fighter bay to accomodate x-wings. It be awesome to see the evolution from your Imperial ship of the line, to the striped down saviour on the Rebellion and finally the New Republic escort frigate.
Oh yeah something like that happened 5 years ago... a guy sold his truck to a Toyota dealership, eventually it was sold off at an auction and then eventually ended up in the hands isis terrorist with the man's business logo still on truck door, they even tweeted about it

Oh this just looks insane. And the way you graft your vehicle’s info into wider Star Wars lore is just seamless. Well done yet again, man. It’s always a pleasure to see content from you.
Thanks for this video, EC Henry. These are always fantastic. I especially love the head-canon explanations for the design choices, and totally-made-up-but-totally-plausible backstory.
I dont know why but i really would love to see henry create his own yuuzhan vong dreadnaught (idk if the idea is that good but yeah..) Ps. Keep up the great work henry!
Your design looks like a nice and enjoyable recreational vehicle. Just imagine flying it over Naboo or Alderaan fields, enjoying the landscapes and the fresh air.
I always thought the civilian version was an industrial vehicle, with the tow cables used to tow stuff. I don't think it feels right as a people mover.
It feels a bit like a pickup truck. Some people will use it just to drive around the city, but it was designed to carry cargo and tow things and is probably better used to that end.
I sew that on Google today. Hear the sandsperder : starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:T-47_airspeeders But also in Star Wars Legends there where other ones like : "Deathhawk" combat airspeeder/T24 airspeeder/Moon Speeder/Imperial escort fighter/Shark Airspeeder/ T-47I Airspeeder/ Combat Aquaspeeder/ There may be others....
I imagine that a light armor & blaster option was indeed available to the civilian marketplace as living in the Outer Rim would certainly entail the need to be able to defend oneself from the ubiquitous bad actors that also lived in the outer rim. A light armor/blaster option would be a necessity and offer a competitive marketing edge over another company’s non-armed and armored offering. The Empire did not prohibit privately owned vehicles from being armored & armed. They were realistic enough to realize that they could not cover every corner of the Galaxy all the time. Creating a wholesale prohibition of that nature would result in even more enforcement work to an already thin-stretched Imperial military not only having to deal with legitimate civilian protection needs now being considered criminal, but also the criminal element going to town on the civilian element that complied with the prohibition. Something to think about.
Honestly I would love to see you tackle designing your own setting, or collaborating with other creators to design one, and just go hog wild inventing stuff like this whole cloth. I absolutely love these videos you do, and would be curious to see where you’d land if unconstrained by existing limitations.
That was cool I like the way that t47 looked also I read somewhere that the Rebel Alliance use the cockpit arrangement to see y Wing Starfighter so they're Pilots have an easier time of operating the upgraded civilian airspeeder
You are so talented. I hope I never know your politics, because you are one of the smartest most knowledgeable devoteeOf science-fiction ships and artifacts.
Awesome. I am imagining some of the hotrod versions with a big top fin like the T-16, mounted where the harpoon cannon would be, which allows it to move as a control surface.
Yes! I love these videos, where you showcase a 3d model and build a lore around it. I would be very interested to see you expand beyond Star Wars and Star Trek into other series, like Halo or Mass Effect.
Personally given the lore you created for the design I would say that the canopy should be the standard version over the windshield. This fits the idea of it being a rugged all terrain and work horse craft,as protection from the elements is something people doing those things want.
Belbullab-22 Starfighter design actually can work as a civilian Single Occupant equivalent to a modern day Luxury Car, such as a Rolls-Royce or Bentley. CEOs of companies often fly them to office meetings due to there smooth lines and and fins (reminiscent of 70s cars) along the engines. Can even add a hood Ornament on the nose of the craft to really draw in the "expensive luxury ship". Now remember, this is to be equivalent to a car, or speeder, not a yacht, or larger cruiser. The Incom U-Wing can actually be retrofitted quite well to have its dropship bay for troops to be turned into a luxury private jet similar to that of a modern day Golfstream G500, and the slick lines of the U-Wing can really make have a impact as it lands in a space port with its unique appearance.
The description from Rogue Squadron (N64/PC) suggests the T47 was already equipped with blasters as said in the description by Riekin: "The Snowspeeder, modified with armor plating, stronger outboard laser cannons, and a harpoon tow cable...". It is also said that they scrounged spare armor and canopy parts from Y-Wings for the modifications. A number of heating, insulation, and de-icing systems went into the squadron of speeders as well, who knows where those parts came from.
The variety of the designs you used makes a lot of sense for each environment. I also like the lore you made, and kept a kitbash appearance. One ship that has only appeared in writing is "The Mighty Oak" from "Lost Stars." It's been described as an odd ship that's had parts attached.
I like how you left an area for a turret, maybe a harpoon cannon, to be attached to. Maybe its a premium addition you can have the dealership add on your speeder. You never know when you'll need to harpoon someone when driving through the skies of Coruscant.
Your designs are hit or miss for me (mostly hits), but your lore is always on point! Love it! I'd buy a book containing all your the illustrations and lore
Great design. I have a good concept for the lore about these things being hotrods. Since the Empire was insanely autocratic, there'd be a huge economic divide between the upper and lower classes. While the rich could afford huge, luxurious starships or even small fleets of craft, the poor could barely afford any sort of speeder or spaceship. However, if someone saved up and worked hard, they could realistically afford to buy themselves a T-47 for personal use. This creates the Star Wars equivalent of chopper + motorcycle culture. T-47 owners customize the hell out of their speeders, with unique paint jobs, custom materials for seats, luxuries and amenities for the back seat passenger. Some even strip off much of the outside, revealing the inner parts. The rich begin to derisively call these people "47ers," like how "yankee doodle" meant an burly American colonist trying pretend to be a sophisticated English gentleman. Eventually "47er" is taken up by the T-47 owners themselves as a prideful moniker, representing how their community allows them freedom and individualism in a world plagued with tyranny and oppression.

In legends they had mods for the T-47 for just about every environment. A very robust and versatile vehicle.
I imagine that a light armor & blaster option was indeed available to the civilian marketplace as living in the Outer Rim would certainly entail the need to be able to defend oneself from the ubiquitous bad actors that also lived in the outer rim.

I have yet to disagree or be disappointed by your designs and expanded lore. Please keep up the great work you’re doing
I always loved the snow speeder as a kid. One of my favorites.
One of my favorite Star Wars vehicles!!! It reminds me so much of Starfighter from Buck Rogers.
Love the multiple designs. The law enforcement and imperial versions are my favorites.
One of my favourite Star Wars ship design!!
Honestly I would love to see you tackle designing your own setting, or collaborating with other creators to design one, and just go hog wild inventing stuff like this whole cloth. I absolutely love these videos you do, and would be curious to see where you’d land if unconstrained by existing limitations.
T-47s, the space technicals. Love the models and that piece of headcanon
More quality lore and detail put into this than Kennedy's entire turn at Star Wars.
the antenna is a nice touch to an already great presentation
Man really just spent three minutes telling us about his headcanons. Legend.
It's like the Jeep of Star Wars, and I love it.
That was cool I like the way that t47 looked also I read somewhere that the Rebel Alliance use the cockpit arrangement to see y Wing Starfighter so they're Pilots have an easier time of operating the upgraded civilian airspeeder
You are so talented. I hope I never know your politics, because you are one of the smartest most knowledgeable devoteeOf science-fiction ships and artifacts.
Yes! Another classic EC Henry design. It looks really cool and makes a lot of sense, as always. Love it.
Awesome. I am imagining some of the hotrod versions with a big top fin like the T-16, mounted where the harpoon cannon would be, which allows it to move as a control surface.
OMG I love your original ship ideas. the fit so perfectly into canon
MAYBE ILL MAKE A MODEL OF THIS.THIS IS SO COOL
I love how the civilian version of the Snowspeeder is basically just the spaceship equivalent to a Ford F-150....
Yes! I love these videos, where you showcase a 3d model and build a lore around it. I would be very interested to see you expand beyond Star Wars and Star Trek into other series, like Halo or Mass Effect.
Personally given the lore you created for the design I would say that the canopy should be the standard version over the windshield. This fits the idea of it being a rugged all terrain and work horse craft,as protection from the elements is something people doing those things want.
The made-up lore makes the reasons that the Rebellion used the speeder so much more clear. Thanks
Henry literally makes my week every time I see an upload.
Belbullab-22 Starfighter design actually can work as a civilian Single Occupant equivalent to a modern day Luxury Car, such as a Rolls-Royce or Bentley. CEOs of companies often fly them to office meetings due to there smooth lines and and fins (reminiscent of 70s cars) along the engines. Can even add a hood Ornament on the nose of the craft to really draw in the "expensive luxury ship". Now remember, this is to be equivalent to a car, or speeder, not a yacht, or larger cruiser.
The Incom U-Wing can actually be retrofitted quite well to have its dropship bay for troops to be turned into a luxury private jet similar to that of a modern day Golfstream G500, and the slick lines of the U-Wing can really make have a impact as it lands in a space port with its unique appearance.
That Empire Speeder looks so badass! Goodluck flying that with those slit windows!
HOW ARE YOU SO GOD DAMN ENTERTAINING TO WATCH!!! Everytime I watch a video of yours... I FEEL LIKE IM IN HEAVEN!!!
I love your designs, but even more I love the lore you come up with them. Keep up the good work!
It's Star Wars, weaponry on civilian vehicles seems to be a norm. Luke's T-16 had a cannon on it after all.
The description from Rogue Squadron (N64/PC) suggests the T47 was already equipped with blasters as said in the description by Riekin: "The Snowspeeder, modified with armor plating, stronger outboard laser cannons, and a harpoon tow cable...". It is also said that they scrounged spare armor and canopy parts from Y-Wings for the modifications. A number of heating, insulation, and de-icing systems went into the squadron of speeders as well, who knows where those parts came from.
The variety of the designs you used makes a lot of sense for each environment. I also like the lore you made, and kept a kitbash appearance.
One ship that has only appeared in writing is "The Mighty Oak" from "Lost Stars." It's been described as an odd ship that's had parts attached.
Did you see the sandspeeder from LEGO? I think stuff from LEGO is always canon or atleast really really close to it.
Not everything, the rough shadow isnt canon anymore, but I'm very love the sandspeeder, the fins make him looks more cool
The sandspeeder is based on an old, unreleased Kenner toy.
Starwars needs to hire this dude
Honestly
I like how you left an area for a turret, maybe a harpoon cannon, to be attached to. Maybe its a premium addition you can have the dealership add on your speeder. You never know when you'll need to harpoon someone when driving through the skies of Coruscant.
Your designs are hit or miss for me (mostly hits), but your lore is always on point! Love it! I'd buy a book containing all your the illustrations and lore
I love that you highlighted several variants of your variant :)
Your design is flawless and when i saw the imperial design i just lost my mind
These videos of yours are genuinely some of my favorites on all of youtube
So it's like a hotrodded out forklift with oversized guns strapped to it. I love it. That's such a rad idea
Again and again you deliver _THE_ most star wars we have seen in a while (rebels excluded, off course =) - *thx* for that!
EC is in my top 3 favorite TH-camrs and these videos and his other info videos are why I watch
Is it just me or does this look like something that could actually fly in real life 😍
Your designs fit so well in the Original Trilogy!! I love it!!
Now that is a cool concept and something to consider as a physical kitbash. Thanks
I like the idea of the T-47 being the Star Wars equivalent of a Technical.
Great design. I have a good concept for the lore about these things being hotrods.
Since the Empire was insanely autocratic, there'd be a huge economic divide between the upper and lower classes. While the rich could afford huge, luxurious starships or even small fleets of craft, the poor could barely afford any sort of speeder or spaceship. However, if someone saved up and worked hard, they could realistically afford to buy themselves a T-47 for personal use.
This creates the Star Wars equivalent of chopper + motorcycle culture. T-47 owners customize the hell out of their speeders, with unique paint jobs, custom materials for seats, luxuries and amenities for the back seat passenger. Some even strip off much of the outside, revealing the inner parts. The rich begin to derisively call these people "47ers," like how "yankee doodle" meant an burly American colonist trying pretend to be a sophisticated English gentleman. Eventually "47er" is taken up by the T-47 owners themselves as a prideful moniker, representing how their community allows them freedom and individualism in a world plagued with tyranny and oppression.
