The blockade and battle of Ryloth was a major event during the Clone Wars. I'll discuss the major mistakes made by the Separatists and the Republic in today's Episode of Star Wars Battle Breakdown.
Star Wars Battle Breakdowns PLaylist: goo.gl/msmLFP
Season 1 Episode 19 of Star Wars the Clone Wars, the Storm over Ryloth sees Anakin Skywalker and Ashoka Tano attempt to break the Ryloth Blockade, with three Venator Star Destroyers against a Lucrehulk droid control ship, and munificent frigates. But, it wasn't easy. From poor use of starfighters, to laziness by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, I'll explain it all.

The biggest mistake was putting a bunch of 10 year olds lead by a teenager in spaceships and having them be your front line of starfighters.
Exactly, Anskin may have been the chosen one or whatever, but he had literal shit in place of actual experience, let alone command experience. Those who put him in charge deserved martial court.
@@ahriman935 You mean Palpatine?
@@ahriman935 I know it’s late but he means ahsoka. Anakin is like 21 by this point, and the clones are all like 10
@Rawkfist1501 ur a bafoon. By 10 year olds, he was talking about the clones. This entire comment was a joke. A joke that went over ur head, smooth brain.
@@faseerkabir1362 where is the joke?
your life
Ah yes, the battle where Anakin commits a war crime by faking surrender in order to kamikaze the now exposed enemy.
Good thing there are no Geneva Conventions in a galaxy far far away. It was a successful tactic, but makes the Separatists far less likely to accept legitimate surrenders in the future.
Justafan IV funny how the supposed epitome of goodness, the star of hope and pureness aka the Jedi Order blatantly kicks all rules of combat with both feet, and not only some times, no, multiple times, almost regularly
They tend to do that. The Jedi Order was built up as hypocrites, which makes Anakin's eventual betrayal all the more understandable.
Ya, Obi Wan even did this same thing earlier at another battle and its supposed to be treated like a heroic maneuver. I really wish they has shown the consequences of this by showing the separatists refusing republic surrenders in the future but kids show and all
+Spades Neil
"Fear is the path to the Dark Side"
...and yet how many times has a Jedi said, "I fear that (insert whatever)"? lol
Heck, TLJ even had Luke bring up the Jedi's hubris, which blinded them to Palpatine being Sidious despite being right in front of them the whole time and such.
This is also an interesting topic talked about a little on "Everything Great About..." the Star Wars prequel films on how things might have turned out had Qui-Gon lived - a Jedi who is clearly much more open-minded, willing to stretch the rules and take risks and such - and had been the one to train Anakin rather than Obi-Wan - who is clearly more traditionalist in his own mindset. It makes one wonder whether Anakin would have been (as easily) manipulated by Palpatine and how differently things could have possibly played out.
Honestly the more concerning thing is the whole trickery. Seems below Jedi or Anakin. Why bother fake surendering?
Battle of umbara? That scene was massive!!
Or battle of ringo vinda :0 space, of course
Yeah!!!!!!!!!! Great idea man!
Battle of Umbara would be cool, but the only reason that battle is notable is because of the ground fighting, not the space-air battle.
You would think that the CIS would have developed protocols on how to handle “surrenders” from Obi-Wan and Anakin specifically, given their penchant for false surrenders.
They probably did IE “Next time one of the enemy ‘surrenders’ we just execute them instead” that shit has a knock on effect
"Use more Y-Wings instead."
Sounds like excellent advice to me!

Midori Gurin Sup Midori, how would you feel if I joined the gaming club?
Subbed to joint channel.
The CIS should have pressed the advantage the moment their reinforcements arrived with their larger ships as well as the fighters and bombers. The 4 additional Munificents acting in direct support (leaving the original 2 covering the command ship) of their would likely have wiped out the Venators. The Republic should have been more aggressive with their attack craft and utilized their capital ships to focus down the CIS's larger ships. Both side tried to minimize their resource commitment/risk in the battle expecting a huge return. Neither got that and the CIS ended up loosing.
I think the CIS commander likely held back to stop from falling into the same trap he pulled on Anakin. If Republic reinforcements showed up while he was pushing his advantage, he would've looked really stupid. That being said, keeping his two munificents and lucrehulk back like you said would help minimize risk. I'm just thinking in terms of how light an assault force 3 Venators is (suspiciously light). The chances of a Republic trap is high.
@Greg Elchert A few generals are very competent and good at what they do. But, the rest are not as good at being generals or thinking strategically. Gotta give Anakin credit for turning his cruiser to expose the stronger bottom to enemy fire. For a series that prefers 2D battles in an obviously 3D space, this was nice.
I'd say the CIS Losing is a huge return for the Rebublic
@@wolfgod6443 Considering those Venators should have ~1500 V-19s and Y-wings on board, the CIS should have about 2000 Droid fighters at the start, and Republic star fighters (even the shity Torrent) are many times superior... this should be viewed as an easy curb stomp for the Republic until the CIS reinforcements arrived. The four new Munificents could have turned the tide, but by the time they showed up every thing but the (severely damaged) Lucrehulk should have been dead. And if the Venators could survive (or retreat) long enough then the arrival of Kenobi's Acclamators would guarantee a Republic victory.
Edit: If we going by the established lore for these ships capabilities and assumed everybody involved had an fing clue about those capabilities.
@@hanzzel6086 I was under the impression Venerators had fairly weak fire power, relying more on their small fighters, but the problem there is there'd be no way those venerators would be fully stocked. Not only was Anakin strapped for resources, but I'm pretty sure there's simply not enough clones to support that many ships for every carrier. On the other side, a lucrehulk can carry thousands more fighters than just 2,000, and munificents specialize is higher fire power but weak armor, so I don't think they're hopeless with or without reinforcements.
The battle of Ryloth made no sense in my opinion because you can't just invade an entire planet with only a dozen ships that have like a couple thousand troops.
Once they had space superiority, The Republic jumped in Acclamator frigates to land on the planet. Presumably they landed some in all major conflict zones. The CIS forces invaded the planet and left the Lucrehulk and the Munificents there to protect it.
The numbers make no goddamn sense in the prequel era. Just roll with it and dont think too hard about it.
You'd need a battle of coruscant to just take unfriendly earth sized planet. Lets be generous and assume that each venator has a troop capacity equal to a star destroyer at 37,085. Wookiepedia says that "more than 1000 venators" took place in the battle of coruscant. Lets be super generous and double that to 2000.
Thats 74,170,000 troops. In WWII over 70 million troops fought for all sides. An attacking force requires many more numbers than a defending force and can expect heavier losses.
Actually youll still probably need to double that to have a chance at taking earth today. Our population in 1940 was 2.3 billion. It's 7.8 billion now. World would easily have a few hundred million fighters to call up to prevent a hostile invasion. Wed only be limited in weapons
Also in ep2 they said there were 6 million clones for a galaxy wide war. They'd need at least 6 quadrillion clones to fight a war across a galaxy
@@TheBacknblack92 6 million clones, or 6 million units?
The way I see it The Republic should have sent a heavy force than just 3 Venators. a large fleet built to overwhelm the CIS blockade.
You make excellent points Eck but on the why they didn't use Y-wings in the first place...... Ashoka would have never became a good leader if they fought ya know with logic
Probably because they wanted to clear out the fighters first. Y-Wings are like sitting ducks for the droids.

I love to play in the battle of Ryloth in Star Wars Battlefront 2!
Doge Fishron
Nice
cool
Doge Fishron my favourite space map
Fairly sure we could make a mod for it. After all, the game is fairly moddable. The 2005 version, of course.
I could've sworn the good BF2 had a mod that was about that battle (could be wrong though)
Despite being able to carry over 400 starfighters, you never see a Venator scramble more than 2 dozen fighters
Yep
Absolutely. It makes perfect sense for a TV show budget (because good luck finding an animator willing to make that many fighters come out of a Venator hull), but zero sense from an audience perspective.
The question is can a venator lunch all of its fighter compliant at once. Even ww2 carriars had a capacity of almost 100 fighter lunched them in waves so I think same deal here. Although I agree with you that the number should be a bit higher. But then the cis could lunch way more fighters then shown in the show and unlike the venators, they didn't have hanger bays so they could lunch everything at once because the fighters were just hung on to them
Eckharts ladder I am a big fan of your channel since you look and break down space battles I was think by you could do the same for ground battles I would love to see that
ObiwanMchighground I too have requested this. It would be epic
I know
He's making one :)
The whole second invasion of Geonosis…..he'll have a field day on the landing at Point Rain alone....
DrakeMarvell yup and the battle on kamino
Any chance of doing battle breakdowns for ground battles? I’d love to see how strategies play out on the ground such as in the Battle of Geonosis
Well here is my take. The separatists maintained their formation most likely out of gear of being drawn out of position and into an ambush. Anakin has in the past used ambushes rather well and this could have lead the commander to hold his forces back. But I must say if only one or two frigates with a decent fighter screen had pressed the attack that should have been enough. The fighters could have disabled the cruisers and the frigates could have mopped up what was left. The republic should have first used a more diverse fleet with a better blend of cruisers and picket ships then once in system, launched their fighter and bombed wings with a flight or two covering the fleet while the main fighters charged in and began to destroy capital ships. The picket ships could have helped with the fighter problem and with bombs in the black they could have helped regain the advantage and helped the republic repulse the ambush. Ambushes are not very easy to overcome but it's not impossible.
Hey eck love the battle breakdowns keep up the good content👍🏻
If the Empire, separatists and the Covenant teamed up, and the Republic, and Rebellion and the UNSC teamed up, and the two sides fought each other, who would win?
Young Mongolian Prince the Empire Site will win
That all depends on who's universe they're in. If the UNSC side has their planets and is on the defensive they could win.
UNSC is likely a nonfactor, they can't fight on even ground against any of the opposing factions, leading to it basically being Empire going 1v3 and the other two moderately difficulty would be more interesting.
Young Mongolian Prince sure the unsc has there mk5 super Mac
Yes but the Empire uses Energy weapons and so does the Covenant, the UNSC Macs would be able to shoot through the enemy ships when their shields were down, so as soon as the enemy shields are down they can damage and even destroy the enemy. Don't forget the rebel fighters as well.
I would say that although pursuing the fleeing Republic ships and trying to keep up the pressure is a good choice in hindsight, the idea that this was a mistake assumes that hindsight known at the time. According to the Outbound Flight by Timothy Zahn (and assuming that Legends canon applies), droid starfighters have a limited range so maintaining the attack, especially against ships that are (presumably) fleeing as fast as they can would require following them with the controlling ships to keep the cruisers in their control envelope. There is every reason *not* to do this because if the cruisers pull their counterparts away from the planet, reinforcements (which the CIS cannot rule out the presence of) could drop out of hyperspace very close to Ryloth in a variant of the Thrawn Pincer, using the gravity field of a planetary body to trip the emergency disengage protocols of their hyperdrives and coming out quite close to any remaining ships, or even behind them. It is true that using a gravfield (in the case of the Pincer, an artificial one) as a means of a very precise hyperspace exit is pioneered by Thrawn but reaching the conclusion that it's possible, and presents real tactical advantages, is not an extremely difficult or complex batch of thinking. In essence, although in hindsight it was a mistake not to follow and finish off the Republic ships, it would not have been a correct decision with the knowledge available to the CIS at the time the decision could be made.
Not simply destroying Anakin's ship the moment they could instead of allowing surrender was, however, an incredibly foolish mitake. There is no plausible scenario in which allowing Anakin to approach and accepting his surrender yields greater benefits for the CIS then simply destroying the ship. Even if Anakin is in earnest (which is wildly implausible in and of itself), he would be more useful dead because of the limited number of Jedi, and deleting even a single cruiser from the arsenal of the Republic is a gain. All other possibilities point in this same direction, because all the rest assume that Anakin is _not_ in earnest and thus has something to gain by approaching and offering surrender, so the CIS can only gain by preventing him.
I assume the CIS abides by something similar to the Geneva Conventions, or at least rules of warfare, and as such they can not destroy a ship attempting to surrender. It is even possible that the robots of the CIS are programmed not to violate these rules of war, thus making it impossible for the commander to have the ship shot at.
I mean, the CIS often attempts to allow, or allows surrender, it is clear they abide by some kind of rules of war. I don't really see another logical reason they would allow the ruse.
At the same time, though, General Grievious is known as a butcher and is the highest military authority of the CIS, which doesn't fit if the CIS abides by recognizable code of _jus in bello_ (fancy term meaning "the laws of war" more or less). I think it far more likely that the Nemoidians in the Lucre Hulk let their greed for a prize prisoner take over. Every account and canon thing I've seen indicates that they're pretty piss-poor at anything even remotely military, and they're holding the droids' control box.
My supposition is that there is some kind of standing order from the CIS leadership to capture any Jedi possible for propaganda uses, or perhaps torture/interrogation. Anakin Skywalker would be very prominent and thus very prized. Thus the error.
It is also possible that the corporate parts of the CIS put the rules of war as part of their droid's programming, and Grevious overrode this. As you said, they are pretty piss poor at the whole war thing, thus wanted to just put the rules of war in there out of ignorance.
Other than when he butchered the Nightsisters we don't see much to indicate that Grevious is actually a butcher as well do we? Honest question, it has been a while since I saw the show. Is it possible that reputation is based on battlefield effectiveness not on violating the rules of warfare?
Good point. I am still inclined to think that the mistake was made out of greed for a prominent prisoner rather than any compunction about killing a surrendering Skywalker.
I don't know about what we see Grievous do because I haven't seen any of the media that covers the Clone Wars. I just know that he's described as a monster, and a butcher, and so I assume that he collects war crimes like baseball cards. On "butcher" being something that is said of him because he's effective, the only general I know of that was referred to the same way was General Ulyssus S. Grant during the American Civil War, and that was because his tactics killed _his own_ soldiers by the thousands. I can't imagine anyone referring to a general as a butcher for getting tens of thousands of _machines_ destroyed so I can only conclude that the appellation refers to wanton slaughters of innocents and POWs etc.
Well he is fighting clones, so it could be that he is just butchering them. He was known as the butcher in the Republic after all, not in the CIS. He also, like many generals through history simply be an outlier rather than the rule on the CIS and war crimes. I am sure it is really in an out of character sense, just so the heroes don't die, but the fact that the CIS offers so many chances for surrender in the series is odd to me. It isn't just this episode, droids will often offer surrender than kill enemies who are unarmed or beaten. Even in Episode III you can see this through the droids demanding Ani and Obi Wan 'drop their weapons' rather than just blasting them in the back of the head.
Can you do a battle breakdown of the space battle in Zero Hour, Star Wars Rebels season finale. I love Thrawn and would to love to see your take on the battle such as what could be improved.
How about next Star Wars Battle Breakdown it’s gonna be a breakdown of one of the battles of the Yuuzhan Vong War? That’d be sick
Apart from loving your content I really enjoy the outro, it just adds an unexpected and quite funny moment to the already awesome video. Keep up the great work man, one of the best star wars channels out here in the youtube community.
I took a break from your channel due to changing interests, and coming back to it has been a huge surprise. The quality has jumped astronomically, and everything feels professional. Good job.
Hey eks plz make a battle break down of the battle of umbara
yes
Hell yeah
Chayo 505 heck yes
I would love that.
That would be awesome.

Now please break down battle of Cristophsis.
Can you do a video about the battle of kamino please, and also if you look at the episode you can see greviouses fleet is very large but on the holgram in the command centre it is much smaller and has luckerhulk command ships which arent in the visualised fleet
EckhartsLadder two things
1) are you going to do ground battle eventually?
2) Do Tue space battle of Umbara
EckhartsLadder munnificents don't have fighter bays
I love this new series of yours Mr. Ladder! Keep up the great work and content.
Wow, 4 of some of my favorite channels coming together into one, this feels like a dream come true, I wish you all success.
I sort of understand why the seperatists didn't pursue the damaged Venators: seperatist captain Mar Tuuk might have recognized that Anakin Skywalker often used unorthodox tactics, even when on the run. For his own safety, he just didn't give Anakin any chances, and kept up the blockade
The old Republic (Clone Wars era) vs the new Republic (Legends).
The Covenant vs the Yuuzhan Vong.
The Eternal Empire vs the Infinite Empire.
The Xenomorphs (Aliens) vs the Flood.
The Restored Empire vs the First Order.
The Necrons (WH40k) vs the Yuuzhan Vong.
The Tau Empire vs the Eternal Empire.
The Banished (Halo) vs the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Thrawns fleet at Atollon vs the Separatists fleet at Christophsis.
The UNSC Infinity with escort fleet vs the Empires fleet at Hoth.
The Empires and Rebels fleets at Endor (legends and no Death Star) vs the Covenants Fleet of Particular Justice (60 ships).
The Separatists fleet at Kamino vs Thrawns blockade of Lothal.
Republic Supporter I think the New Republic could beat the Old Republic. Their navy is superior and they got GM Luke
Republic Supporter GM Luke is WAAAAY more powerful than Yoda. Also the NR had a large navy that was way more well balanced. Also numbers aren't everything and the Seperatists had equally many ships that were more powerful than the Venator. Also the Venator is not small it's very big.
Thrawn vs Trench would be awesome!
Their soldiers are better yes but the New Republic still have a good army with well trained soldiers. And their navy is very well organized with more powerful ships
1: Focusing on one ships is a very bad move. That is why the Sepparatist navy was far superior, they had variety.
2: The NR had ships like that to and had they only used them they would have lost most space battles. The Venator is more of a carrier than anything else and 1 Nebula-class would destroy 2 Ventors rather easily.
3: And the CIS navy followed a NR mentality which focused on balance and was much more powerful.
4: They almost only had Venators, Acclamators, Arquitens and Consulars. The other ships were very rare and are actually more common within the NR navy.
5: A-Wings are much more mobile than V-Wings and considered to be better armed as well. Also the NR had a lot of X-Wings, Y-Wings and many other fighters as well, including many Z-95s
Honestly man, your videos are some of the best of their kind. Keep up the good work dude!
The true mistake of the battle was bringing in the piece of junk that is the V-19, if they had a bunch of Z-95 headhunters they could’ve won way sooner.
Now as for the separatists, not breaking their blockade was actually really smart. If they had chased after Anakin, Obi-wan could’ve just jumped over and started the invasion with no issues.
This was before the Z-95 was developed, the V-19 was one of the best Starfighters the Republic had at this point
There were multiple versions of the Z-95, with some around in 50 BBY. The Clone version was yet to appear though.
I am pretty sure we never a service date for the clone Z-95 in canon or legends.
You are right. The reason that Admiral (does he have a name?; if yes then I forgot it) doesn't break formation and if Anikan didn't 9/11 that cruiser he would have won the Battle...
what about them ARC-170s???
Great video Eckhart, I really enjoy these new tactic videos, keep them coming!
Also, a bunch of my favourite channels making a joint channel is just a dream come true, I’ll be sure to head over there now :)
Love this series!
I swear, you just keep making your visuals better and better. I dig the new intro with all those starships. :)
By far my favorite series, I just connect more with the visuals instead of the same clips in the background and i love strategy games so im baised toward it but still great job eck
Good video as always. You should do the battles of Reach and Sigma Octanus IV from Halo.
Both good picks but could also do harvest or arcadia
Who is the best pilot ever of the Star Wars universe? Poe Dameron, Wedge Antilles, Andoorni Hui, etc. Please do a video on this.
I've gotta say Poe Dameron. The scene in Takodana where he wipes out half a tie squadron on his own is amazing. Can't think of anyone else who managed something that impressive.
Quardener I did in Rogue Squadron on N64...lol. Good point.
Well, most force-user pilots are at least on par with all of them and plo koon, anakin and saesee tiin are way above them
Love this new space battle videos where u show animation kinda earned a well deserved notification and nearly watched all ur videos since 2017
I'm rewatchong this now, the Intro was such a hit of Nostalgia
I know this would be difficult, but can you breakdown what is by far the largest space battle in the whole franchise? *The* *Battle* *of* *Yuuzhan'tar!*
I have made this request: nine times.

No

always was
Templin Institute, Eckharts ladder, space dock and star wars explained! The best of everything! Subbed.
I love how munificents flip flop on whether they actually have canonical hangers or not, like at bothawui grievous escapes through its hanger and canon lore states they were carriers. But here once the lukrehulk goes down it’s like “uh oh, we all accidentally left them on there”
Actually that was a recusant he escaped.
Also, some may have been fitted with hangars
@@jeremydale4548 I donno what you were smoking when watching that but the battle of bothawui was 3 venators against about 5 or 6 munificents no recusants were at the battle, recusant class didn’t even appear until the battle of selucami episodes
Can you cover the space battle of Saleucami?
Yuuzhan vong vs high charity and it’s fleet
I think the Yuuzhan Vong vs the Covenant and all its assets would be more fitting.
Agreed Vong are incredibly tough and dangerous even if just their basic units.
Also an entire race vs a big ship and a few other big ships is kinda one-sided.
Gigas0101 look high charity is 75 k long and the yuuzhan vong world ship are 100 k long and I fell like it would be balanced because the yuuzhan vong have 100 , 000 coral skippers but the high charity has almost the same amount to and the yuuzhan vong have these cannons that send super heated rock towards ships and others but high charity is well defended with its forerunner technology and it’s fleet protecting it so I think it won’t be one sided
Love your battle breakdowns. Keep up the great work;)
Eckhart, i'll tell you one thing about your videos that many people probably think too. I watched the video just for the Outro. LOVE THE VIDS KEEP GOING MAH DUDE
All ships present at the battle of coruscant vs the byss fleet during shadow hand
Wasn't the Byss fleet only like 100-200 star destroyers and 3 superstar destroyers?. Fighter superiority on the republic/CIS side would crush them even if the capital ships never engaged
I want to see the battle of kamino
Just saw the new intro, and I love it!!!!! also I thought the sound circle around your avatar reacting to your voice reminded me of the templin institute
Hey eck, I love these battle break down videos, and I am a fan of your channel and I wish to see more videos as well as more animated videos you created.
In my opinion for the Republic, they have little to work with, even though they use a lot of ships and maybe own a lot of Venators and other ships, they know they cant waster their clones as the cloning process takes over than 4 years, if I remember correctly from attack of the clones, so it would make sense for their strategy would be use sparingly as possible
Do the second battle of geonosis
I think the republic launched too few starfighters in their first attempt, and they should engage the enemy capital ships with the venators. What would you do if you are the Republic fleet commander ?
Defected since I'm a Separatist.
Keep it up. Love your battle breakdowns.
holy crap the exact 4 youtubers I've been watching a lot of lately, that's a big sub!
If I ever get a girlfriend I`m going to make her watch your intro and if she cant say what each one was then shes out
Sausage Lawyer you are probably going to get most of them out. All I am really interested in is Sci-fi, and I can't make it what that red grey ship I at the start...

Favorite series so far on the channel.
I don't know if you've done it before, but I would love to see an analysis of the battle for Earth in Mass Effect, including the fleet action, even if it's speculative.
Galactic versus. Ancient Halo vs ancient 40k
Diamondsandgold platinum C'tans, Pre-fall Eldars, WiH Necrons and the old ones...
40k wins, no doubt
CharlieVGold 7 No way in hell brotha. You don't know a thing about the Forerunners apparently. Their tech is better and they have just as massive of an army if not more so. (Forerunner, Ancient Humanity, and the Flood) wins
Diamondsandgold platinum You don't know about the ancient WH. Do you want a specific answer or a short answer?
I know what poweful is Forerunner and Flood.
CharlieVGold 7 Specific and medium answers would be nice. Please don't include biased opinions or say the cliche 40k fan boy phrase like "they're literally gods" I'll consider your points but no one so far has persuaded me. But I start off like this. Ancient Halo (Forerunner, Ancient Humanity and Flood) have 100km ships that could single handedly blow up a planet as if it were a SW Death Star. They have shield worlds that are even more deadly than an entire fleet. Then their shielding and weapons are known to be 10x better than anything Master Chief even had.
Diamondsandgold platinum Okay, (I'm go with Eldars, Necrons, C'tan and Old Ones)
Eldars: (No Craftworlds), Ships with the size of a planet (almost) They can travel in time and have a powerful control of warp and weapons can destroy an entire stellar system, can read the mind and use the web.
Necrons: A race with the power to kill the galaxy, yes, the galaxy, using Ark Cannons or using the celestial orrery. A single tomb of them can absorb 100,000 years worth of energy out of a star in a couple of seconds. They're inmune to Halos and inmune to flood.
C'tan: An incredible and powerful race united to Necrons (Godlike), they're immortals, can destroy (with space magic) a galaxy (but that is some absurd, they need) and they eat stars, literally, they appeared at the same time as the universe and they can cover a star with their body and consume it.
Old Ones: (i'm sorry but i need to say it) They're gods. They control multiple dimensions, they have the web, a simple step and you are where you want to be. Control de Materium and the immaterium, channel energies and are immortal, they created all life ln galaxy.
So, I don't want to persuade you. We can have a pacific conversation without problems.
We're fans of different games and that is respected :D
(I don't include all the races because the ages are different between them)
Subscribed to the Neutral Zone, I'll be sure to have the diplomatic paint on my hull when I arrive :D
My personal favorite battle from the Clone Wars is the Sky Battle over Quell, as seen in the Season 1 episode "Jedi Crash", where Aayla Secura's fleet of cruisers is sent burning to their doom by Munificent frigates. When Anakin arrives in the Resolute to evacuate her, he's critically wounded, and he, Secura, Ahsoka, and some clones are forced to make a random hyperspace jump when their ship is damaged.
It'd be interesting to hear your take on the background behind this battle, the mechanics going on, and if it was possible for Secura to fight her way free.
Great video! I really love this series it's very interesting and cool
That outro always puts a smile on my face
Man, have you ever played Gratuitous Space Battles? Seems this series would be right up your alley...
Eckharts I love your channel and your content and that's why I know do much about the star Wars universe. But for the next one can you do the battle of geonosis please?
Omg all my favourite channels in one so happy
I love the intro especially the part where the X-Wing does a barrel roll :P
I would love to see more Star Wars Battle Breakdown
Huge fan of the battle videos, it’s a sci-fi BazBattles and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted!
Can you do the first battle of Genesis? The introduction of the clone troopers.
The Republic fleet consisted of 3 Venator-class star destroyers, which is a very small task force. Even if the blocade wasn't deployed with the reinforcements, the Republic still wouldn't outnumber the defenders very much. Therefore, the Republic fleet could be seen by CIS as a bait. If CIS decided to pursue the retreating fleet, they could be caught by Republic reinforcements (if there were any) and would have to engage in full capital ship battle. From that point of view, it would make complete sense not to pursue the retreating fleet.
Much battle breakdowns. I like it.
That outro is amazing.
Can you do a battle breakdown of Sluis Van during the Thrawn Campaign? Love that new intro.
Nice intro! Don't know if it's new or not but I like it!
Love the new intro and I find this to be a really interesting series
Love these new battle breakdowns
That outro is freaking amazing. XD
I love that someone actually does this
Geez I binge watched your entire channel
I like the fact that you put your name on one of the largest UNSC ships
That outro never ceases to amuse me
The biggest oversight the Republic made was only sending three very valuable capital ships to break a blockade. There should have absolutely been smaller ships to support it, ones tasked to provide a more comprehensive defensive screen against any CIS ships, both fighters and any larger vessels that move to engage the Republic ships.
Or, if sending more ships wouldn't've been possible (even just a single corvette): having a squad of Y-wings escorted by the V-19s, that way the bomber pilots and fighter pilots can each do what they're best at.
Well, we know that it would have been possible to get at least 3 more Aclimators by waiting a bit based on Obi-Wan arriving moments after the battle has finished.
I'd love to see some battles from the Old Republic era, like Rakata Prime or even Malachor V
I gotta admit I love that Outro
These battle overview videos are so fucking good.
Great video you should break down the battle where the Malevolance was destroyed
love the outro!!!
The greatest problem with most sci fi series space battles is that they always operate on the rule of drama. The forces involved can never do what is most logical and sensible.
Like The Intro Good Job On It!
You should try to do something similar for ground battles. You can change the backround and just use new models for walkers, tanks, and squads.
Love your videos
Please do the second Battle of Geonosis. There is so much to unpack, you could do a two parter.
You have so many videos, I watch one a night I can't figure out how far behind I am lmao.
Eckhartsladder: Can you do ground battles breakdowns next PLEASE. ☺
Love the new intro!
