Allen can you put the songs you play in the background in the description I really like them and I'm probably not the only person, anyway great vid as always, humanity first
Cool sponsor, but Afterpay is a bad idea. If you want to buy something expensive, saving up for it ahead of the purchase will teach you self-discipline, and there are no late fees or penalties for saving money in your bank account/mattress/wall safe/mayo jar buried in the back yard.
You're genuine after pay disclaimer is appreciated
this deal is getting worse very time!

Best part of Tie-fighters' maintenance is that you don't have to fix what it doesn't return :D
I can _SO_ picture Rebel ace pilots commenting something trollish like that in... whatever kind of social media exists in the Star Wars galaxy! 🤣👌
@MrDibara I imagined more a rebel ground crew saying that in reply to something like “I’ve herd that the imp’s engines got it much better than us with how little maintenance the TIEs need”
@@falloutfart9917 ah yes the hatch hinges need repair… and wer done with maintenance.
Alan, I can't possibly tell you the times Generation Tech, and Geetsly's, have actually saved my life. Star Wars is one of the few things that still gets me moving on. Thank you. I've watched this channel for years now. It never gets boring. I've lost so many other passions, and I'm still stuck in the same dark hole for years now, but this never gets old, I can watch this channel for hours and survive. Thank you bro. The Internet is a blessing.
Yea big fan of Geetsly's as well. It's always humbling to hear back from people watching Rafa thanks for the kind words!
@@GenerationTech Thank you, Alan, greetings from Spain!!!
Losing passions for everything but Star Wars honestly doesn't sound healthy
@@user-yq9im9dk9z it's Depression. You need to stick to the few things that still give you joy if you want to survive and not despair. For me it's Star Wars, anime and Lord of the Rings, and, when I'm able to, reading, and watching shows. Even if they are little stupid things, you need to stick to them so they distract you from your worries and sadness. I've learned this after years and years. TH-cam is one of the few things that still helps me.
@@rafavizuetecastro you should try watching the anime mobile suit gundam. It's like star wars with lasers and space politics but instead of fighter craft, they have 20 meter tall mechs called mobile suits. I suggest series set in universal century timeline
Got this pop up when I was repairing HK-47 in KotOR.
I am being watched.
Engineering designs look pure unadulterated awesomeness.
Don't leave those helmets in the sun too long. It will yellow the white bricks and fade out the others. Love that you have them in the back ground though!!
The Rothana Heavy Engineerings’ integration system; it rivals Corellian Engineering Corporations’ ships’ modularity. Its so good that I currently own a LAAT/i & a LAAT/c & use my Guilded Semi-Truck (not a type-o. Its a Commercial Cargo focused vehicle series specifically designed for Guilds) as both a makeshift helipad & ‘cargo’ for my two LAATs to lift, justin case.
I'm a big fan of the clone walkers, I wonder if they could've make a mech out of them?
Both AT-TE and UT-AT are my favorites even though the UT-AT haven't make too many appearances.
I definitely agree with you on the value of these stories like Star Wars for discussion and inspiration.
YAY! I missed this kind of detailed lore content from you, Alan! 😃
Started following you because of these very in-depth videos about *how real the Star Wars galaxy feels* with all these different but very specific corporations, companies, vessel models and etc, and _boy am I glad to see these back again!_ 🤩
*By the way, that AT-TE at the thumbnail is slick as f$#@.* 🤚😌👌
I like the name Dark Majesty for such a lightsaber. And I also like the Mon Calamari Cruisers! They are the best!
We need a collab between Generation Tech and Geetsly's, that would be sick!
In order to make our own future we have to preserve the past.
I love what you do, love how you break this all down, I think the only note I have would be that hat totally weirds me out, but that's me, and you should be you. Keep on keeping on. 💪
One of the most impressive things about the human mind is imagination. When a person say its all fake you should say you don't have all the answers in life to say what's fake and what's real....just enjoy the ride. Keep up the great work
that wallpaper on ur pc is 🔥
9:00 - I will argue that the ARC 170 deserves another pass: Was the ARc 170 perhaps misused in Battle of Coruscant - perhaps. The ARc 170 is a ship-killer, a vessel that attempted to fix the weaknesses o fthe Y-Wing, into a more vesatile package. I would argue that the ARC-170 would have served better as a dedicated capital ship hunter and this role it truly excelled
I didn’t know that AT-TE could go up sheer faces. I can’t remember what is called but my fave imperial vehicle is the one with the massive wheels on it like you see with those big arsed earth movers at mines across the world. But on topic I liked the Tie fighter over the X-Wing, and the changes made to it for the new order looked very cool imho. I guess many things that are designed to kill have strange a after effect of looking cool. Sadly of course.
If you add a coaxial anti-personnel blaster to the AT - TE, and enclose the gunner as well as the driver, you have the perfect Star Wars tank.
That twinge of regret when you skip the sponsor and hear 'thank you for your patience'
I don’t say it enough but I love this channel.
The configuration of the GAR military made it where they intermodal systems for their tech made it more seamless in deployments in warzone. The GAR could switch weapon systems especially with their gunships.
People who go to lore-videos and discussion-spaces for entertainment franchises and say "Hey, you guys know its not real, right?" are actually the ones who doesn't get it...
Thank you for researching real-life logistics, economics and politics and applying them to in-depth analyses of Star Wars
Kinda wish the atte had a bigger version with better armor and shielding
@@user-ox3mj2sr8n more like an at-ot but with a roof more armor a bigger & armored mass driver cannon on the top
Them toyotas technicals are peak military hardware. 😂
*GLA Technicals approve.*
Say, a cool topic would be comparing and contrasting the training of clone troopers and stormtroopers. The four episodes to use for such a video would be Clone Cadets, Death Trap, Breaking Ranks, the Antilles Extraction, and Live Fire. The first two will show what things are like for Clone Cadets, the next two from Rebels will show what Imperial Cadets go through, and for extra from Resistance, we would see what First Order training has.
If vibration sound makes things litter pushes mass in certain direction. Then put stereos in back of your car . To make it easier on your engine
Of course, I am an X-Wing fan.
The idea of control familiarity in the X-Wing to the Z-95 and T-16 is much like how WW2 tanks had controls designed, in part, to be easy for guys straight off the farm to figure out.
The driver's station has two levers for steering, and the operated just like a (western trained) horse. Pull the left to turn left, pull the right to turn right, pull them both to stop. That control scheme even appeared in the M113 series of APCs.
@@MonkeyJedi99 Same note, the T-38, F-15, and F-117 Stealth have most of the same basic controls, and even the same lading gear. In fact, to qualify for F-15 and F-117, you mut qualify in the T-38. I didn't includr the F-5 as the only difference between it and the T-38 is that the T-38 is a trainer. Same principle as the Star Wars craft mentioned.
Wait, who says Star Wars isn't real? It clearly states "a long time ago...". If it were on Netflix it would most assuredly be in the documentary category.
Hey Allen big fan! & a small sw youtuber!
Once again thank you for and the team for all your hard work. All the very best from your friends across the pond 🇬🇧
Need Earth in Star Wars videos SOON! As in 21st century Earth (neutral plus CIS couldn't effectively mess the planet by any meaningful way) vs Galactic Republic.
Great video. Love your content & presentation style.
Great video, I'm a huge fan of y wings. They are a little power house that was easily overlooked or sneared at for its plain aesthetic look.
A quote I once heard was "if it can be thought of, it can be made", you can apply that to every invention by man, everytning takes place in our minds first. Ive no doubt faster than light travel will one day be possible and yet it existed in science fiction media long before humanity started trying to work out how to really do it.
Didn’t have to mention the late fee but you did, you’re good people man
Let's gooo more alan
Man it would be awesome if the stuff from my book (when I eventually finish it) be shown on this channel
The irony of a Universe that makes space travel as common as driving a car yet places a Trooper exposed behind a cannon without protection.
Love the Lego helmet sets in the background 👌🏻
I really love your link with real life and science and philosophy
Why did the Mon calamari evolve legs and breath air if the hole planet is ocean
I always loved the sound of the LA-AT, it was so iconic!
Thanks again my friend. Great vid.
Just wanted to take a moment to address an issue mentioned in your opening monologue.
Whilst I like many are eagerly hoping for a breakthrough with fusion produced energy, the most significant issue with fission, is and always will be, the residual material that remains following use. As this material is still undeniably deadly to organic life after its usefulness has been spent, what to do with it, is a problem that must be solved.
Dumping it into incredibly deep mines or sealing it in cement bunkers (lead lined or not), is simply deferring the issue for future generations to deal with at no doubt, immense cost.
Ideally, perhaps our decedents will develop a means of sending the stuff via rocket into the ultimate nuke, our Sun but building something that could withstand the staggering heat of the solar winds for such a journey will prove an issue.
I don't have an answer, short of perhaps using our Moon as a (temp?) storage site but it is an issue that i think preys on the minds of folks that have an issue with fission.
It's also quite realistic to pay notice to the staggering damage a fission reactor causes when accidents happen.
It may be rare but just like volcanoes, when it happens, the resultant catastrophe is overwhelming.
Anyway, thanks for once more addressing real world issues during the course of your sci-fi/fantasy presentations. Always appreciated Allen. :)
Control surfaces are the parts of wings/fins that move to steer an aircraft in flight: rudder, aileron, ekevator. I think that the Incom starfighter controls should be described as a STANDARDIZED COCKPIT.
best video ever made loved it
A good piece of speculative fiction provides us a mirror to look at parts of the human experience through- though at times it does seem closer to the distorted view seem in a funhouse mirror, it can at other times provide a startlingly clear view of part of scoiety at large
Works of fiction have provided certainty (for better or for worse) to many people in the form of religions.
Give it a hundred years and Jedi will become a legitimate and well established faith, about ten years before nuclear fusion goes mainstream.
Nuclear fusion is always 30 years away.

What happened to Ben? I havn't seen him on Generation Tech in ages.. ?
The integrated weapons system of the GAR remains a design feat.
I always wondered why the AT-TE had a glass cockpit and an exposed main gunner's seat. Surely such things would make it horribly vulnerable to snipers?
Props to you for mentioning the hefty late fee. I’m 25, so I expect nothing less and I pay by bills on time. But a lot of the audience is children so it’s a good idea to warn them about the late fee.
Respect for telling people to be careful using those pay as you go apps 👊they are good sometimes but definitely don't want to miss a payment
Sometimes science inspires art. Sometimes art inspires science.
I love this Channel
#1: The Lightsaber
I have a question. How would the Galactic Empire do against the Arachnids from Starship Troopers?
"Hey man you know StarTrek isn't real right?" Siri play "How William Shatner Changed The World"
Yeah, the bug tanks from the GAR.
some ppl like to immerse themselves in a different universe
whether it be comics, manga, starwars, anime, etc.
so you're telling my that ezra's lightsaber not only has a name but that name is almost the same name as thrawn's star destroyer
Does anyone know how to find out when celebrities or actors are doing autograph signings, or when these sort of "meet and greet" events take place? I would love to try and get to a signing with Star Wars actors/affiliates
Hope the Mon Calamari reversed all the airlock doors on the outer hull. Doors against vacuum are designed to open inwards, so that air pressure will hold them closed even if the locking mechanism is weakened.
For a submersible the reverse is true, and pressure doors are designed so that the water pressure outside holds the door shut.
Put a ship with vacuum airlocks underwater and water pressure will eventually blow the door open and flood the ship.
And put a submersible in space and you risk a blow out that evacuates the air from the submersible ship.
That must have been a hasty refit....
Given that, at least in Legends, the MonCal cruisers started as luxury liners, it would be easy enough to incorporate both doors into the airlock. I am thinking that the doors can open into the airlock so that the inner door will serve as an emergency sealant against the water should the outer door be breached, and the outer door can do the same for space.
Granted, I do think having them open out from the airlock could work too if you do not want to reduce the amount of the already limited functional space in the airlock, but I would go with my initial thought. This is all assuming that the doors open and close by rotation instead of separation and sliding, as the latter kind of renders such concerns moot.
Regardless, this only works well enough for a civilian ship. To use the same ship for military roles, yeah, a massive (and undoubtedly hasty) refit is probably needed.
I never realized how much the empire and republic like the letters A and T
ATAT
ATTE
ATST
ATAP
ATRT
ATPT
Amen!
The GAR would outright body pretty much every military in the Star Wars universe.
Including the Mandalorians.
It would be really interesting to have a video on pilot quality, the impiral pilot was on average superior to the rebel pilot... what would happen if the empire used the same fighters one on one. Imp Tie v Reb Tie, Imp xwing v Reb xwing for example. Or what would have happened if Thrawns figher got rolled out galaxy wide
“Hey, you know star wars isn’t real, right?” The nerve of some people lol. You wouldn’t see any of his videos if you never clicked on them :D
I love star wars lore (specifically the clone wars era), yet I can't sit through a single star wars movie
The TIE series: good idea on paper, bad idea in practice.
Omg finally someone who recognises the nuclear Wether fusion or fission is the future not solar or wind
OT/ Can you do form 2 Makashi with a regular gripped lightsabre?
Yes, if you're skilled enough.
I don’t care what anyone says, the ARC 170 is awesome!
Would have to say that the design and production of the mon cal cruisers and the x wing multi purpose fighter had the mist impact on the galaxy in respect of the rebellion winning the galactic civil war. As it allowed for the rebellion to create a large scale battlefleet ably capable of going toe to toe with star destroyers, while the x-wing and its later brother star fighters decimated the enemy's air wing before attacking and disabling enemy capital ships into the bargain.
Hey, if we can get a semi-working Gundam today, its not like sci fi is completely out of our way.
I wonder what kind of ship if combine two or three of the themes mentioned here.
@The_GenerationTech I am just considering one of the ships you mentioned, the Z-95. That was a collaboration between Soro-Suub (sp?) and Incom.
you sould try watching gundam
I'm of the opinion that the TIE Fighter was a deliberate underdesign. It's clear it has great versatility and ease of maintenance, but it's too underpowered for it's intended use. Thrawn had the right idea, build on the basic frame and just keep building until you got it right.
is it really right to say the jedi keeping kyber crystals is selfish if the crystals are often described as almost sentient?
If jedi find their crystals by having them "speak" to them, then wouldn't mining them industrially be kinda like enslaving them?
On that note, one might be able to argue that the Death Star's crystal could have turned red since it was used to take so many lives; seeing how Sith get red crystals by forcing a normal one into submission. Then again maybe being emotionlessly used by a crew prevented the crystal from bleeding. The didn't imbue their shot with hate, they simply followed an order.
The mandolin should have got an LA-AT installed of the dumb ass jedi star fighter because, how the hell is he gonna do any bounty retrieval with such a small ship?
StarWars is real!
Dam it now I want to see an at-te fight in an ocean
about that nuclear fusion comment, iirc fusion has been achieved already, with a net positive power output being recently accomplish
The LT-TE doesn’t endear me as much as the AT-AT does (to scale) but you can’t transport an AT-AT nor does the AT-AT transport vehicles or personnel in any efficient manner. Maybe if it could retract its legs and let stuff off then hunch its back when standing like how the First Order Walker is designed it could be a large scale alternative and even then I am partial to the simple durasteel structure of most Imperial designs especially when it keeps the cost manageable but I also hate the Geonosian skeleton of that design and the Empire always goes overboard after the fact making a simple, cheap piece of hardware into something that is both flimsy, exposed, complicated, bulky, unmanageable and expensive. Which brings up the A-wing vs the TIE.
I can easily imagine something like the V-wing airspeeder and A-wing _starfighter_ getting adopted irl just because they’re so good and so affordable compared to our flimsy expensive satellite guided fighter jets with two-stage AGM/one-stage AAM missiles and autocannons that use ammunition that needs an atmosphere to function but add onto the cost of one of those starfighters the cost and effort needed to develop the tech, construction to reconfigure infrastructure and substituting for the fictional physics that makes these things work. You’d think in 2023 super STOL fighters would be standard at least.
Great video! The next steps in nuclear fusion are too far down the road to be what saves us from climate change, though. Can't cross that bridge until we get to it.
"Star Wars is not Real" Physics will eventually prove that self-similar universes exist, because of infinite self-similar universes, everything exists everywhere; thus in some shape and form 'Star Wars' is real.
Ah, I see that you also see through superstitions of nuclear fission, well, actually fusion is not so futuristis as it may seem, indeed we are not even half-way to full pottential of fission. And fusion have its own, massive sets of problems, fission is easier to improve, and we can do it right now, not after someone make some breakthrought in future, fission can already take us to the jupiter if we wan't to and get rid of those treaties dissalowing nuclear tests in high atmosphere, Orion drive. This thing is mad from the concept, but insanely efficient in comparior to anything we can now muster as a spaceship drive.
👍
Science fiction is as much prophesy as it is entertainment
Games better for your mind then stories
I’m here earlyish
i keep telling you people the laat can't carry 30 clones its just not possible the best it can do is 12!!!!!
Heh you changed the thumbnail
To bad there isn't any scimitar baced light sabers
Any technology that has promise to provide unlimited energy is going to be used as a weapon for the government history only has to
look at testla research back during the late 19th century and early 20th could have benefited everyone if corporate greed didn't get involved
