And you can also assume that many do land without getting shot down because there are hundreds of clones on battlefields that we can logically assume got there from an LAAT.

      In Legends at least most of the vehicles and ships were built on/around a Kuati colony world called Rothana, way out in the outer rim in a tricky to navigate section of space. Some may have built at Kuat itself under false pretenses for delivery to other (Fake) clients.

    • @timberwolf1575

      I would also add the thought that they needed clones trained for maintenance as well. So they could have ordered a relatively small number of complete units and a lot of spare parts. Then they put the maintenance clones to work assembling the parts into complete vehicles. Also, aside from the weapons, many of the other parts could reasonably be written off as civilian parts. Fast shuttles for search and rescue, heavy vehicle chassis for heavy construction/mining/agriculture, etc. It's the starships and heavy vehicle weapons that would raise more eyebrows.

      Speedy It depends how you look at it.
      The ATAT was at first deployed during the clone wars and it was meant to be Imposing, have an overhead view of the field, and armored enough to survive getting shot at due to its sheer size. In this respect, the ATAT surpassed the ATTE.
      When it came time to use in the Empire, who mainly had to deal with untrained rebels, protesters, and other mostly civilians, who would flee at the mere sight of such a beast, while the ATTE wouldn’t inspire as much fear. If you break their spirits, they won’t think of ways to beat you.
      That was the thought process, which aligned with Palpatine.
      As for the LAAT, even though it had build itself a reputation, it was still pricey to manufacture and maintain, far more than other Imperial troop transports, and it could not justify itself being a multi-role war machine when there was no war going on.

    The biggest problem I have with the LAAT/i is one scene from Attack of the clones just after the clones and their gunships rescue the Jedi from the arena, just after Anakin directs the pilot to fire on the fuel cells of a Hardcell ship, he spots Count Dooku and tells the pilot to fire on him. The pilot says he can't because they ran out of missiles
    Even if that's true, the ship still has two chin mounted cannons, two door gunners, four wing mounted turrets, two dorsal mounted mass drivers and a tail gunner, not to mention all of the clones inside with their own blaster rifles to shoot at him
    Were THEY dead as well
    Also, how the hell do the clones and Jedi able to stay inside with just those subway style ceiling handholds holding them in? Especially with the side doors open

      That's definitely a plot hole they didn't even try to address. The only possible explanation I can think of is that the Gunships had a limited power source and they were going at full speed just to keep up with Dooku (if they could go faster they would've tried to outrun and cut him off), meaning if the pilot redirected energy to the ball turret lasers and the chin blasters, they would have to reduce Engine speed and power, which would cause them to lose the pursuit of Count Dooku if they missed. Rockets/Missiles on the other hand would be a quick burst of power to launch and then that was it.
      Still, you shouldn't have to rely on fans thinking of explanations and theories to explain apparent gaps in logic. If my explanation was correct, it could have easily been solved with a quick exchange of "What about the blasters?!" and "We'll lose speed if we power them up. The target will get away" and then Obi-Wan ordering them to maintain pursuit.

    • @dragonweyr44

      @@Lazarultos The problem with that is that, as far as I can tell, the ship and the blasters use two completely different types of fuel sources as far as I can tell
      Blasters run on tibana gas, this applies to hand blasters all the way up to ships turbolasers. These are stored in magazines.
      I don't know what type of fuel that ships run on but I don't think that it is but I seriously doubt that it is tibana gas as we have seen plenty of ships in Star Wars fire their weapons while flying, Just watch any X-Wing vs. TIE fighter battle for instance, or any of The Mandalorian's space battles.

    You should do a March madness themed string of videos pitting either different vehicles or just starwars characters in general against one another, bracket style. You can either create polls to see who wins and then make a video supporting the poll’s victor, or just decide yourselves who wins each round and moves up until eventually there’s the Geetslys Starwars Madness 2021 champion. Idk just a thought 🤷🏻‍♂️

    The LAAT gunship is the Mil-Mi 24 Hind D of Star Wars in my opinion, it has a similar role, can clear landing zones just as well, and drops and recovers troops just as efficiently. So I think the Hind D is a good comparison. A shame the Empire retired it in my opinion.
