Never fails to make me feel pride when older designs of ships show up current models, same with classic cars. So, I guess it does mean I love classic starships.
It would be cool to have a character whose hobby is making "sleeper" ships. With antique hulls, but cutting edge engines and tech inside. Just like some people enjoy building PCs with the latest parts inside cases from the 80s. It would be a good way to introduce random lore from long gone factions and manufacturers.
I really like how even though Star War's electronic, automatic, and micro engineering is so lacking, the mechanical engineering is SO ultra advanced that nothing changes across centuries. I think this is an big factor in what makes Star Wars so unique as a setting, kinda like how Alien's clunky designs make that unique too.
I rationalize that over the millenia it was just clear that it was impossible to defend or maintain computerized networks like we expect 'more advanced' would be, either by slicers ruling or spontaneous glitches proliferatins, so everything's in pretty self-contained systems like droids, various ship and building systems, separatate communications, etc. And that very longevity may also be why things went that way.
It's more or less stated that civilization is repeatedly bombed back to the stone age. The Interdictor existed during the old republic era but was forgotten, then someone rediscovered the tech. Had her life ruined. Joined a Sith cult for revenge and nearly destroyed the galaxy. Then about 100 years later Tarkin rediscovers the tech again. Because some dudes stole his space car and he really wanted it back.
@@OllamhDrab Yeah, star wars computer tech is actually insanely advanced and powerful (see: storing massive schematics on tiny data slates, functional AI in tiny housing, and so on) the user interface is just really clunky and everything has to be physically connected to each other in order to function (though data can obviously be transferred remotely by necessity , such as holonet communications).
I like this. Sure, there's change--things gradually get bigger, various components are improved over time--but nothing says that it always has to be the kind of "progress" as in real life. Models other than ours can be sufficient, in real life let alone in fiction. Much technology is the fruit of God-given circumstance, so a world/universe without those same circumstances would only logically not have the same developments. Architectural design changed, but there's not that much separating a pyramid or Ancient Egyptian fortress from a medieval European castle, really. They're all sturdy stone structures.
There is a 99 year old car in my family, its been crashed at least once and its still being rebuilt! Bentleys are great cars n.b. its not practical at all like the ships in the video
Not as old as that. But my mom still has her first car. A 1969 ford thunderbird. Just 67k miles gets an additional 40 miles a year going to car shows from spring to fall once a week.
@@marcfilms999I have a friend who is a big time car buff and an engineer too. I once asked him if restoring a classic car and converting it to run on unleaded gas was a project he'd be interested in. He said it was too much work. But he would almost certainly buy a restored classic car. He also said that being hired to host a program like Top Gear would "definitely be one of [his] top 3 dream jobs."
@@vic5015 I don't know much about cars. Mainly didn't grow up around car people. I do love classic and vintage cars though. My dream classic car is a el camino.

But being able to drive it around and haul stuff when needed would be fun.
As someone that currently owns two Honda Civics that were both bought used, the 1992 DX sedan now has about 310,000 miles on it, and the 1999 SI has almost 300,000 miles on it. I saved the '92 from a possible future as scrap, and the '99 is a recent pick up. I love both, and while I enjoy working on my roommates' 2011 Cruze and 2016 Camaro, I will take working on my old Honda cars any day.
It’s a shame that the Mandalorians didn’t captured the pirate corvette during the Siege of Nevarro. Despite it’s not a military vessel it still would’ve helped their fleet
Reminds me a bit of aircrafts. Though relatively new compared to sea vessels, they also can operate for decades. After their intense use as passenger airliners, they often find a new life as private or cargo aircraft. Some even older planes are in use in more remote areas by operators that have far fewer means than the major airlines.
1:46 The car in this picture is the Ford Model A, a successor to the Model T which was introduced in 1928. The Model T was introduced in 1909 and was produced until 1927 when it was replaced by the Ford Model A. To be fair, either car makes your point as there are still a lot of both Ford models on the road, sadly most of them are used as weekend play toys as the performance, braking ability and handling would make either car a bit sketchy for most people's daily commute.
Was just coming to mention that, although my information says 1908 with the beginning of model t production and 1927 with the beginning of model A production, Also the same year that the model t ended production.... Not sure that one year difference matters though....
I still regularly drive my 2000 Nissan Pathfinder which was actually my first car, and I bought it new. She has nearly 300k miles on her and a few spots of rust, but she's no Millennium Falcon. I like to pass cars on the side of the road, most newer by 2 decades than my own car. And I like to wave, and then drive on. It is a good life.
0:52 My knowledge of cars does not extend beyond knowing how to change a tire, jump a dead battery, and replace fluids, but damn, that is a beautiful machine.
We had a 76 suburban my dad paid 100 dollars for back in 91. It was a construction truck all beat up but still had all working parts. I drove it all over and we put around 500k miles on it plus whatever was on it before. Dad sold it for 500 bucks in 2005 to a guy who did lawn work. It’s still on the road as of earlier this year. It won’t ever die.
Damn that night actually be the best vehicle ever as far as ROI. Basically got paid $700-$800 (maybe more just guessing inflation) to drive it 500,000 miles. Crazy
I was proud to be an owner of a heavily modified 1962 VW. By the time I owned it (1987) the number of owners of this little German made gem where as many as the years it had been on the road. It was modified into a Beach Buggy/Baja style, and a high performance tuned engine attached, a Datsun 1800 SSS. To say the least "it went" and when I finally sold it on I made sure of the next owner, their ability to continue maintance and tuning, and care for that little frankenstein of a car. I often take time to reflect and be actually thankfull on the time I owned it, I certainly miss my little VW.
My ship, either a CEC-1930, Fondor Haulcraft, or Baudo Class Yacht, would either be called the Third Watcch or, after the great Saturday Night video show, the Night Flight.
For once, I can feel smug about driving a early 2000's Mazda.. The removable seats (and fold down front passenger seat) are great for carrying more stuff than a much bigger soft roader can, all in the footprint of a small car. Along with great headroom. You can't get that in a new car, no matter if the hyperdrive is faster or it has better shields. So despite its apparent obsolescence, it has Gallifrean _bigger on the inside_ technology.
If there's one thing Star Wars have an advantage over Warhammer 40k is that they can go hyperdrive without need to go through the Warp and can punch in coordinates whenever they wish.

@danielmarske234 It all depends. In movie time about 240 seconds. In some books and movies you can run out of fuel in between the stars. Generally though from the outer rim to the core is measured in weeks. Don't get me wrong I think that the warhammer 40k is definitely better when it comes to the sheer number and scale of warfare on a galactic scale, but it is a different universe. A million man army (clone army) is laughably small even for the majority of even single planet populations in SW even if you added in all the follow on clones.

It is a great place to actually explore and engage with, even if there are dark and terrible places beneath veneer of freedom. 40K, on the other hand, is the industrialists' wet nightmare: planets are nothing but resource sources, and you treat populations of trillions as disposable resource-producers.

And there are oh so many villains, and so very, VERY few heroes...
This segment actually kinda exists in the airplane market. People are still upgrading sixty and seventy year old airplanes with new equipment from the same manufacturers that originally built their airplanes.
Awesome ships! I suspect that in the Star Wars galaxy all technology is built to some standard level of modularity, so any person who can hold a spanner can remove the broken component and replace it with a new one, in addition the technology that they do have can survive situations that would render even the simplest technology on Earth inoperable (such as submerged in seawater for ten years, or abandoned on a desert planet for decades). So it stands to reason that some ships would last for centuries.
I have bought a 2002 Suzuki Wagon R+ with close to 260.000 km's (161.556 miles) in it last september. It had the transmission repaired at the end of last year, otherwise the only problem with it is that it is a bit loud.
starships, droids, speeders, blasters, and other technologies refuse to die - because there is no concept of 'Deliberate and Enforced Planned Obsolescence' in the star wars universe. Yes, some lines of this or that, and/or parts for said this or that may be eventually discontinued, either specifically-that-model-of-thing, because of up-grades, or dramatic design improvements, or because a company goes out of business - but, there is always some degree of backwards compatibility, or maybe side-ways compatibility from other similar-enough models, or the like, to be able to eventually rig-up, resurrect, and repair any given ship, speeder, droid, tool, blaster, or other device, if intact enough to be semi-rebuilt and repaired. also, nothing is rendered explicitly Absolutely Useless, unless it is exploded and fully detonated, unlike here on earth, where 'the latest update' by the manufacturer or service provider, is probably an algorithm command to brick itself as a technology device, so that you have no choice but to shell out even more money to get 'this year's fresh new model' that is just last years model with no input-ports and a third rear-plate micro-camera, for the 'low price' of 2000-percent markup sticker-box wallet-grape, and you will get told by said company 'if you don't like it, then you can simply do without' as you are manhandled by clockwork-orange security goons who happily toss you out of the boutique-style store and into the street face-first and they laugh maniacally at every tooth you lose out your mouth from impact of smooching the tarmac.
Still running my 82 Pontiac grand Prix since purchase used in 1991. Cycled 5 engines and 7 transmissions thru it till the current config = last 21 years running a 350 v8 from a '93 chevy truck, truck suspension and dual exhaust. Odometer has flipped at least once while I've owned it.
Why does not Disney make a series based on the "A Star Wars Story - Millennium Falcon", where you have it's life, from creation, threw various owners over time, you see settings change as you venture back and forth in space, new owners, new name, new paintjobs, new and changed equipment, sometimes bad out of necessity....to see the ship, as she was helping, hunting, traveling... I think it would be plausible to make a live action, and definitely a animation series, intertwined with the movies, like you have a cockpit view when you see the right person in the ship, and in the background you see Anakin and Padme's transport..and so much more cameo possibilities.. Then, in the last episode, it goes into a new Star Wars movie or series or something..
Would be cool to see you do a video on the Greenhouse Asogian ship from E.T. It would have to have travelled a long time from a galaxy far, far away but the Asogians are plants, which makes me think that it was Earth's pollution that was killing him, they could possibly live for 100s of years as well as clone themselves like we clone plants. Fun Fact: Ralph McQuarrie designed E.T.'s ship, Steven Spielberg wanted it to look disk-shaped like a old timey flying saucer, Ralph got the inspiration for it's design while hanging Festivus tree ornaments.
*The following are the musings of a Salty SEAGULL named EARL who just shows up in my posts whenever he feels like it!* [EARL the Salty SEAGULL:] "These STAR WARS ships brings new meaning to the phrase AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!"
There is nothing better than to sell an everlasting platform and all spares, everything a customer wants, repairs, insurance, battle damage, you name it. An everlasting product that will make you more money than a disposable one timer ever could.
While the classics remain classics even when they become niche products, I note an interesting trend: When it comes to military or military-leaning vehicles, fictional military structures seem to have much more use for outdated equipment than RL ones - Yeah, I could be wrong. While Ukraine is happy to receive our last-generation equipment in its struggle for survival, Russia has not done so well pulling the gear it needs out of mothballs. Of course, a lot of that is likely due to the Russian hierarchy's attitude towards maintenance seeming to be 'I Thought You Were Taking Care Of It' - which may even extend to their nukes, may we never learn the truth of that. If a fictional character finds some relic, I think the authors have to insert a reason why maintenance was kept to or why this piece didn't need it. Take DoomSlayer's Super Shotgun he can recover in Eternal - that has the excuse of realm with different physical laws and the residents viewing it as a grimdark artifact to be let alone - irony is nothing, as they say. One last thing I keep coming back to: The Rebels against The GE were scroungers as seen here. So would the Resistance to the FO be that much different? The splicer both-sides to Finn and Rose, but even with Leia's money, I can't see the Resistance shopping at the same 'stores' as the FO or with the same resources or results. Once more, I think some of the ideas in TLJ might have done better for a third trilogy long past the 4 to 6 in the timeline.
The average distance between galaxies is a million light years. You're not making that journey in only "thousands of years" at sub-light speeds. For context as to how long a million years is, OUR species, Homo sapiens, is only about a quarter of a million years old!
I have a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 276k miles. My grandpa has a 57 T-Bird with 400k+ miles. The 91 Lexus LS400 we had as a family car growing up, it's still on the road! It's on its 5th owener.
Stuff like THIS gives me video ideas like... whats the Star Wars equivalent to a Ford F150... which i guess is kinda what Han drove bout all his life... or maybe the Toyota Model that Ghost Team loved so much...

This segment actually kinda exists in the airplane market. People are still upgrading sixty and seventy year old airplanes with new equipment from the same manufacturers that originally built their airplanes.
Just survived another hurricane and now I'm chilling watching GenTech!😎
Please make a video on 200 FO Stormtroopers vs 200 Clone Troopers
2:06 did he say our “disk” world??
The starships have lasted long for a thousand years than Palpatine's Galactic Empire itself.
They're classics!
I enjoy all of Generation Tech videos 🎉🎉😅
Fantastic video as always man, love it.
Good intel & nice Galaxy Far, Far Away tech talk 🙂
Question: what is the smallest start ship with a hyperdrive? Not in clouding star fights. I mean with living/sleeping quarters.
Great video!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Awesome ships! I suspect that in the Star Wars galaxy all technology is built to some standard level of modularity, so any person who can hold a spanner can remove the broken component and replace it with a new one, in addition the technology that they do have can survive situations that would render even the simplest technology on Earth inoperable (such as submerged in seawater for ten years, or abandoned on a desert planet for decades). So it stands to reason that some ships would last for centuries.
I have bought a 2002 Suzuki Wagon R+ with close to 260.000 km's (161.556 miles) in it last september. It had the transmission repaired at the end of last year, otherwise the only problem with it is that it is a bit loud.
I would ask for a video on Rendili Stardrive, the company that built a number of ships on this list.
When the Buff get his upgraded FTL engines he will be eternal, man Boeing made some quality ships before the McDonnell Douglas takeover
starships, droids, speeders, blasters, and other technologies refuse to die - because there is no concept of 'Deliberate and Enforced Planned Obsolescence' in the star wars universe. Yes, some lines of this or that, and/or parts for said this or that may be eventually discontinued, either specifically-that-model-of-thing, because of up-grades, or dramatic design improvements, or because a company goes out of business - but, there is always some degree of backwards compatibility, or maybe side-ways compatibility from other similar-enough models, or the like, to be able to eventually rig-up, resurrect, and repair any given ship, speeder, droid, tool, blaster, or other device, if intact enough to be semi-rebuilt and repaired.
also, nothing is rendered explicitly Absolutely Useless, unless it is exploded and fully detonated, unlike here on earth, where 'the latest update' by the manufacturer or service provider, is probably an algorithm command to brick itself as a technology device, so that you have no choice but to shell out even more money to get 'this year's fresh new model' that is just last years model with no input-ports and a third rear-plate micro-camera, for the 'low price' of 2000-percent markup sticker-box wallet-grape, and you will get told by said company 'if you don't like it, then you can simply do without' as you are manhandled by clockwork-orange security goons who happily toss you out of the boutique-style store and into the street face-first and they laugh maniacally at every tooth you lose out your mouth from impact of smooching the tarmac.
Still running my 82 Pontiac grand Prix since purchase used in 1991. Cycled 5 engines and 7 transmissions thru it till the current config = last 21 years running a 350 v8 from a '93 chevy truck, truck suspension and dual exhaust.
Odometer has flipped at least once while I've owned it.
I don't know if it's just me but when I look at the dreadnought ships I think of the new Battlestar Galactica
Why does not Disney make a series based on the "A Star Wars Story - Millennium Falcon", where you have it's life, from creation, threw various owners over time, you see settings change as you venture back and forth in space, new owners, new name, new paintjobs, new and changed equipment, sometimes bad out of necessity....to see the ship, as she was helping, hunting, traveling...
I think it would be plausible to make a live action, and definitely a animation series, intertwined with the movies, like you have a cockpit view when you see the right person in the ship, and in the background you see Anakin and Padme's transport..and so much more cameo possibilities..
Then, in the last episode, it goes into a new Star Wars movie or series or something..
My Rav4 is 10 years old and I plan to keep it as my daily till the wheels fall off
I have a 20 year old Yukon with 280,000 miles on it that I intend to do the sane with.
i wonder how many of these have been hijacked by dolphins over their long history
Great info. I learned cool stuff.
The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress.
Would be cool to see you do a video on the Greenhouse Asogian ship from E.T. It would have to have travelled a long time from a galaxy far, far away but the Asogians are plants, which makes me think that it was Earth's pollution that was killing him, they could possibly live for 100s of years as well as clone themselves like we clone plants.
Fun Fact: Ralph McQuarrie designed E.T.'s ship, Steven Spielberg wanted it to look disk-shaped like a old timey flying saucer, Ralph got the inspiration for it's design while hanging Festivus tree ornaments.
Begin at once to live and count each separate day as a separate life.
The Dreadnought Class Heavy Cruiser suspiciously looks like The BattleStar Galactica! 🤨
Funny, the Toyota Corolla I'm driving just crossed the 100k mark as I started listening to this.😅
Over half of all Rolls Royce cars are still on the road.
Disney rebuilding the millennium falcon for the next movie
*The following are the musings of a Salty SEAGULL named EARL who just shows up in my posts whenever he feels like it!*
[EARL the Salty SEAGULL:] "These STAR WARS ships brings new meaning to the phrase AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!"

There is nothing better than to sell an everlasting platform and all spares, everything a customer wants, repairs, insurance, battle damage, you name it.
An everlasting product that will make you more money than a disposable one timer ever could.
Here I was happy my 2009 Lancer was still running ok, got nothing on these long lasting ships
Millennium Falcon is a Ford Transit van lol
While the classics remain classics even when they become niche products, I note an interesting trend: When it comes to military or military-leaning vehicles, fictional military structures seem to have much more use for outdated equipment than RL ones - Yeah, I could be wrong. While Ukraine is happy to receive our last-generation equipment in its struggle for survival, Russia has not done so well pulling the gear it needs out of mothballs. Of course, a lot of that is likely due to the Russian hierarchy's attitude towards maintenance seeming to be 'I Thought You Were Taking Care Of It' - which may even extend to their nukes, may we never learn the truth of that. If a fictional character finds some relic, I think the authors have to insert a reason why maintenance was kept to or why this piece didn't need it. Take DoomSlayer's Super Shotgun he can recover in Eternal - that has the excuse of realm with different physical laws and the residents viewing it as a grimdark artifact to be let alone - irony is nothing, as they say.
One last thing I keep coming back to: The Rebels against The GE were scroungers as seen here. So would the Resistance to the FO be that much different? The splicer both-sides to Finn and Rose, but even with Leia's money, I can't see the Resistance shopping at the same 'stores' as the FO or with the same resources or results. Once more, I think some of the ideas in TLJ might have done better for a third trilogy long past the 4 to 6 in the timeline.
The concept that any vessel would be used after 1000 yrs at a galactic wide scale is utterly absurd.
Already doing better 😂😂😂 have a good afternoon/ night Allen
Every single car my dad has ever owned (except his mustang) had between 100,000 to 300,000 Kilometers on it.
haha I didnt know you were a fellow Jerseyan lol you threw me for a loop with the turnpike comment.
The average distance between galaxies is a million light years. You're not making that journey in only "thousands of years" at sub-light speeds. For context as to how long a million years is, OUR species, Homo sapiens, is only about a quarter of a million years old!
nice video
10,000 years of slavery only for Ahsoka to turn you back on and make you a Jedi slave again.
Ever heard of the VW Beetle, it was a chassis that could be built into everything(or nearly everything). But yes it is really rare today
Wow, the shame ship in use for a thousand years? They just don’t make ‘em like they did long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away.
I have a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 276k miles. My grandpa has a 57 T-Bird with 400k+ miles. The 91 Lexus LS400 we had as a family car growing up, it's still on the road! It's on its 5th owener.
Close Allen, but the Ford Model-T was produced from 1908 thru 1927 of which 15-million plus were made.
I am happy to take your donation; any amount will be greatly appreciated.
(0:51) My stepfather owns a Volvo P544 from 1961 and has the same record.
Stuff like THIS gives me video ideas like... whats the Star Wars equivalent to a Ford F150... which i guess is kinda what Han drove bout all his life... or maybe the Toyota Model that Ghost Team loved so much...
Had a 87 ugly Saab hatchback. 20 years later it got envy looks lol
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
I mean, it makes sense as a design so just keep adding on upgrades as technology evolves but keep the overall aesthetic?
Some of them are looking good for a few hundred ...yahren. 😁
What, no Z-95 Headhunter?
I've always thought that it would be cool for the big car companies to remake classic bodies with modern insides. I'd love a classic Camaro with the current standard insides.
Note quite as old as the Star Wars ships, but the Excelsior and Miranda’s in Star Trek still being used 100 years after introduction is still amusing
My granddad still has a 1935 Morris 8 that my great granddad brought brand new back in 1935, with less than 15k miles in it
Princess Luke!!!🤣🤣
Hahaha 😂 princess Luke
Ya
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If it ain't fixed, don't break it
That some "pristine condition" nonsense I'm too redneck to understand? *unpacks wrench, WD40 and a six-pack of beer*
The Millennium Falcon actually outlived its most famous owner...
