Darth Vader Wipes Out Phoenix Squadron [4K HDR] - Star Wars: Rebels

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- A 4K HDR sample of the battle where Darth Vader wipes out Phoenix Squadron, as seen in the remastered Star Wars: Rebels Extended film Cut - "Relics of the Republic". Please note that the scene has been trimmed a little bit exclusively for this youtube upload, and the full version of the scene remains intact in the actual edit.
13 film cuts, 21 solo episodes, covering every episode of the show (including the 4 shorts) all upscaled and color graded into full 4K HDR for the first time ever. Now you can watch Rebels in a more theatrical way, just like my prior Clone Wars Arc edits. While not every single episode could be easily edited into a feature film, all of the most important arcs have been recut to flow as seamless films, giving the Star Wars television canon just a bit more of that epic theatrical feel, and making the video look as good as we possibly can for modern up to date HDR capable screens.
For best results, please watch these trailers on a 4K HDR capable screen using either your TV's youtube app, or your 4K HDR capable monitor's Edge or Chrome browser youtube URL. HDR capable smartphones and tablets should also display the proper colors at any resolution.

Like Obi-Wan said a few years later: He was the best star pilot in the galaxy and a cunning warrior.
And he was a good friend
@@ajdominguez1002 Exactly!
And he hated him
Have I ever told you about Ahsoka Tano?
The music is called “The best star pilot in the galaxy” that plays at the first half of the video
Huh you know I just realized we rarely if ever see Vader fighting space battles as a pilot. Cool to see he hasn't lost his touch.
I’m pretty sure he does it in the comics a few times and in ANH, one time he blew up a Star destroyer when the captain failed to complete a mission so he just flew over them in his tie fighter and shot it to pieces😂
@@Capybara2240 Well I figured in the comics he would. Probably should've been specific that I meant on the TV or movies.
@@THENemesisXX99 I don’t think vader was originally planned to be a great pilot since that was for anakin and in a new hope anakin and vader weren’t the same person but instead vader killed anakin. So maybe that’s why we don’t see a lot of vader flying in the OT and even in rebels he only has one scene but it’s perfect in showing how good he is
@@Capybara2240 OK yeah movies you have a point. I mean to say material that came after the prequels.
@@THENemesisXX99 vader hardly shows up in any content after the prequels and if he is he gets little exposure so they can continue to shove vader in random places briefly so he’s not over saturated, if he had a couple more space battle fights I wouldn’t mind but then the presence of vader would be reduced
It’s my head cannon that Vader had a huge smile on his face under the mask when he wiped out the fighters with ease
He also did a bit of spinning and we all know that’s a good trick
if anything he likely was making one while doing his flying backwards bit
I don't think so, he don't smile big he Is more serious, cold but tortures that he creates the Rebellion on Onderon during the clone Wars
Vader: R2 cut power to the hyperdrive and get us oh nevermind
He's a Sith. Of course he'd enjoy something like this.
"this is where the fun begins"
Vader right before engaging an entire fighter squadron on his own: "this is where the fun begins."
Underrated comment. Brilliant.
Missed opportunity to say that like in the actual show!
Vader after the fight with A-Wing = "Bruh that warm up sucked"
And this is exactly why Vader let the Ghost crew escape Lothal, so he could wipe them all out. And he nearly succeeded too.
And the only reason he stopped was because he sensed a much bigger fish than some padawans. If Ahsoka wasn't there, the rebel fleet would
The same happened in New Hope
Vader LET Han Solo, Luke and Leia escape so they could lead him to Rebel HQ
@@TheLichruler incorrect.... the tractor beam caught him instead of the rebels. so he didnt let them escape
@@ninvusoogoar6098His objective changed from "destroy" to "capture" after discovering she was alive. He was about to fire on that ship and destroy it but broke off after sensing her
I like Vader's 'angry' mask appearance in this show. It seems to reference the early concept designs from Ralph McQuarrie where Vader's mask was very skull-like and menacing.
I Hope that Dave Filoni made more cute Vader Mask from new Hope to return of Jedi making Rebels season five After he did It in clone Wars season Seven and Bad Batch
I think the entire art style of the show is said to be inspired off the original concept art
@@cuppajoe2022
Always has been
Bro....the entire SW rebels referenced the original concept arts and Original special effects
His mask looks demonic and evil
Damn, somehow vader just destroying like 20 pilots all by himself is not surprising at all
Actually, at least 10 but yes
Vaders spinning was so cool!
Yeah, it was a good trick
I'll try spinning, that's a good trick
-Darth Vader
Vader never refered to Ahsoka by name only as "The Apprentice" or "Skywalkers Apprentice"
He says ahsoka in twilight of the apprentice no?
@@justskiddingaround-idontkn7519 but it was a mix of Matt Lanter and James Earl Jones it wasn't straight James Earl Jones
@@justskiddingaround-idontkn7519I think that was actually Anakin then, until Vader quickly came back, if that makes sense
"It's the Sith Lord we faced!"
"The Apprentice lives..."
*Ahsoka screams*
Bugger me, chills all over my body!
0:40 finaly someone in the star wars universe figured out that objects in space do not need to face the prograde direction to continue moving in that direction!
I think pilots are just comfortable seeing where they're going.
I like to think that the reason why they keep the engines going while in space is because they don't want to waste valuable time in battle just to turn it back on when turning.
Vader binge watched Babylon 5 and thought "Wait... I bet I could do that thing the Starfuries do!"
They made it pretty clear in this episode that Vader was at the peak of his powers.
0:40 Vader is such a good pilot he breaks Star Wars's fake laws of physics and starts operating under the real laws of physics
Something something etheric rudder
He’s the kind of villain even the power of friendship can’t beat
@@sunnex474only the power of family works on him.
Vader while shooting down half the fleet: "Look ma, no hands" (because Dooku cut off 1 and Kenobi cut the other one)
Watching this for this first time was a bit heartbreaking. He's using all the skills Anakin had, but for evil ends.
His Anakin persona is still in there
0:41 I love how he flys here backwards, it is so Anakin thing to do
Darth Vader: now this is pod raising
Yep x2
That's so wizard.
@@Nintendoggy Vader: “Master you should have seen it, I destroyed all those rebel pilots. It was totally wizard”
@@scampoli25 😆
Officer: "I'm about to get choked, aren't i?"
Surprisingly, no
Harder
They should’ve known it was Darth Vader when he started spinning
That's where the fun begins
😏😏😏
I never watched this show, but they did a remarkable job of making something that “feels” like Star Wars….moreso than any movie I’ve seen since the original trilogy.
As someone who did watch, they totally did him justice. I'm watching this at 18 6 years after it first aired and still getting chills
I sure hope it feels like Star Wars...cause it is.
Vaders injuries on Mustafar didnt hinder his piloting skills
In the movies he flew like Darth vader,
Here, He flew like Anakin
Ahsoka realize Maul was telling the truth about her master all those years earlier back on Mandalore
It's sad how she had so much faith in Anakin and his goodness and he utterly failed to repay that faith.
When Ahsoka sees Vader coming straight for the command ship, before they got on the Ghost, I bet she was thinking “Damm thats something Anakin would have done!”………. Oh was she in for a surprise about 3 minutes later 😂😂
Whether he’s Anakin or Vader, spinning will always be a good trick to him.
2:28 Vader: So…
The Apprentice lives.
2:30 Ahsoka: (Screams)
The tie fighter was originally designed after the clone wars based on the feedback of jedi collected during the war.
Being able to use the force, extra electronics were considered cumbersome.
The large open dome front allowing the piolet great view to take advantage of a force sensitives more acute sight.
Less armor and heavy shealing equipment to in favor of agility to match a jedi's reflexes,
And finally the front mounted twin linked heavy blaster instead of the rapid multi-blasters on the wings,
while doing less damage over time, delivers a quick and accurate knockout punch instead of a quick spray-n-pray favoring a force users patience and fine twitch control.
The X-wings and ol' A-wings have a lot of advantages and independence over the Tie, a lot of features that make the fighter a forgiving craft compared the high skill ceiling of the Tie. The Empire requires a large academy to train just mediocre tie piolets that have to massed to be effective screens.
But in the hands of a powerful force user this craft was earmarked and tailor built for, well we saw the results.
Vader made every Fighter 100% deadly.
Hera is one of the greatest pilots shown in star wars. It makes sense she can keep up with vader i dont known why people are surprised.
It was intentional. It showed her cunning and skill was just underneath Vader's
@@ajdominguez1002 very much underneath
@@valentinlageot4101 in all fairness, Vader hardly does anything aerial himself anymore. If he visits you, it's personal. Filoni pieced it together perfectly: she may be the 3rd best pilot in this timeline (Vader 1st, the TIE Defender dude 2nd; Wedge isn't in his prime yet, so I have him under Hera). Hera, however is also shown as a good tactician. Where she fall short as a pilot she makes up for others' incompetence (this one example, also basically pulling said same maneuver on Defender guy)
@@ajdominguez1002 I doubt the defender guy was teh best but to be fair most TIE fighter pilot are heathen gods, the problem is in their starships whoc can't take a beating unlike the X wings, TIE fighter pilots might have teh biggest balls of the gaalxy for sitting in a non shielded basicaly Hexagonal shape sized target and still get some kills. if teh TIE's were shielded imagien the menace they would be. but i'm just guessing here
Hera is a good pilot as shown and told in the series, but it's Anakin. only human who won a podrace (if you only look at the TV stuff not the comics).
Vader in teh series was shown to be out of league of our protagonist andneven ahsoka was killed by him (until filoni pulled a time travel t saver his waifu).
the point is that nobody can kill or harm vader, we can only make him switch side and it's not through violence and pai that you convince him but through love, Luke SKywalker was the only one to truly defeat vader because of the love taht they shared for one another.
Remember. Anakin/Darth Vader was a gifted pilot when he was a young boy. He won a pod racing in order to win his freedom and He destroyed the enemy's capital ship alone.
"Commander, tear this ship apart until you have found those plans and bring me the passengers. I want them alive!"
"Move your Destroyers to block their escape but hold your fire. I want these rebels alive!"
Like poetry, they rhyme.
Bro took Han’s advice and said to himself: “Never tell me the odds” 💀
0:38 Bruh Phoenix One reappears only to die again. RIP.
You know youve fucked up when thr enemie starts flying backwards
Anyone else want to hear Vader say, "now THIS is podracing "?
I'd like to see Vader's skills as Mobile Suit pilot. Preferably, the Bandhee.
Anakin was phenomenal flying, Darth Vader was a mechanical surgeon with a fiery heart!!
Vader: spin ✅
Revels: fly straight ❌
The Ghost crew had such plot armor in this scene
Vader shoots down 20+ fighters in a tie while doing stunts but Hera can outpilot the greatest pilot the galaxy has ever seen? Preposterous
I kinda disagree with you on that 4:54
It's not plot amor Vader wasn't trying to destroy them as he said he wanted them alive
She didn't out pliot him she just out did the idiots on the two star destroyers
@@Darthgribben99 Outmanoevring the idiots on the Star Destroyers is fair, but why didn't Vader shoot the hyperdrive or something?
They'd still be alive and much easier to capture
@@jotheunissen9274 He didnot want to kill them acedentely
@@geenkaas6380 Vader would know that wouldn't blow up the entire ship
Anakin has been flying for over 30 years
He knows how ships are built
@@jotheunissen9274not to mention he suddenly is missing most of his shots against a ship almost twice the size of the A-Wings he effortlessly picked off
Vader in the legends canon spends time fixing and upgrading his personal ship. I like to think canon Vader does the same thing and trains his pilot skills
Can you imagine if Vader said “My Apprentice lives”
THIS IS WHERE THE FUN BEGINS!
Now I can feel the feelings of the sepi's encountering anakin.
No wonder Vader's tie advanced had some sybolism to a jedi starfighter man must really like that he could spin
This is probably how the Zeon feel when the Gundam shows up. Imagine Vader in a Gundam. Imagine how destructive he'd be with the Zeta or the ZZ.
2:09
Can we all agree that this bit where Ashoka realises who Vader is would have been so much better if Ezra had just shut the fuck up
I’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick
😅 They must be embarrassed That one pilot just best their entire fleet but they didn't know That Vader back then he was the best star pilot in the galaxy as Anakin Skywalker and trust me not even The ghost could stand a chance against his piloting skills Vader is truly a force to be feared Even in a ship.
When I saw him appear, I said: Phoenix Squadron, that’s no ordinary fighter. Get out of there right now!
While Disney has severely mismanaged SW, there are gems like rebels, rogue one and Endor.
Rebels only shined when the original characters appeared
All the new characters are just either annoying or boring except for Kanan, Kanan is cool
@@angryvaultguyThrawn was the greatest addition when they dusted him off from Legends. I'm glad that he was used for the 3 and 4th seasons
This is where the fun begins
Vader just wamting a warm up
The spinning technique has not escaped him, despite him being on the Dark Side
Vader is the champion of Podracing
1:00-1:02
Cell: “It's okay. I'll save your dad for last. Hear that, Piccolo?!”
Piccolo: “I mean, if you're just gonna say it”
As great as it is to see Vader, it would've been fun if they didn't show him as the pilot straight away and let the audience slowly work it out for themselves. Like, only reveal it on 'The apprentice lives' or something.
It would've been obvious from the beginning, he has his personal iconic tie fighter.
I’d be interested to know who would win in a pilot test between Hera Syndulla, Anakin Skywalker and Han Solo
Anakin, hands down. He has the Force.
Now this is pod racing
vader carried entire empire
2:03
bro ended the video at the worst time possible ☠️
“Now THIS is podracing!”
Vader: Now this is podracing
Who was the better pilot though? Anakin/Vader or Luke?
Anakin
It's her master
Cool and great Star Wars Rebels video part scene 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
They even didn't thought who he was before all this anakain literally participated in the races
Is lord Vader Anakin Skywalker
3:54 tech?
Dude that is dee Bradley baker the voice of admiral Constantine
@@spike_Burma That's exactly why i said Tech? he used his tech voice in there
Only Wedge and Han can take Vader down
Wedge has no chance, and Han just had luck
Yeah he was scary in clone wars
Name of the OST ?
*The Appreantice LIVES!!!!!*
ahsoka, why did you live?
where were you when I needed you?
you're SELFISH!
you ABANDONED me!
you FAILED me!
Do you know? what i've BECOME!
0:00
2:40
How does a fighter beat a frigate, frigates are supposed to counter fighters
how do they lose shields by a light attack ship lol
Real space physics is star wars?
7 months ago
Hera is a good pilot but anakin is a great pilot
I think this episode predicted rise of Skywalker and star wars resistence season three where Ahsoka, while She hears the voice of Anakin, Yoda, Luke, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan, Luminara Unduli, Adi Gallia and Aayla Secura to help Rey to kills Palpatine during the Battle of Exegol, use her Force Spirit(that Luke used It in Last Jedi) in the form when She was 32 years Old to join to them and Is that because the Force Awakens was her 70th birthday. That was the same thing where Anakin attacked Jun Sato and Phoenix Squadron like an wild Animal. Kaz realize that Anakin almost kills his great-uncle Jun but two years later, Thrawn kills Jun Sato at Atollon and Fortunatly Eleven years later, Ben kills Thrawn. Kaz was Happy that Ben killed Thrawn the Murderer of his great-uncle Jun. That was the same thing. The same Deja vu. A true prediction.
Where are the X-wings when you really them?
They don't exist yet
Vader nearly wiped out all the rebel X-wings and the Y-wings in a new hope.
@@SuperiorAmericanGuy this is before a new hope
I could have sworn Y-wings appeared in the clone wars and X-wings appeared in rebels season 4.
@@SuperiorAmericanGuy while yes y wings do exist in the clone wars the rebels don't get them until season 3 and as for the x wings they get them in season 4
I am so stealing his moves when I play star fox!.
You are no match vader skill he is best & most powerful jedi
Hoanstly a bit plot armoire for vader but its still an awesome scene none the less
What do you mean plot armor? Vader was stated to be one of the best star pilots in the entire galaxy, so it’s pretty clear that he would easily be able to take down these average (or above) pilots
@Enjeru_blizzardjira 3 Cruisers, a squad of well trained (they are well renowned)pilots, Hera in the ghost (her Probably being in the top 10 pilots), a Mandalorian, jedi and trained warrior on guns yet vader doesn't so much as get scratched. I ain't here Denouncing his skill but it's definitely a scene made for the sole purpose of vader fan service.
@@lukemarriott306 remember that Vader is a highly skilled war veteran and the most powerful force user in the galaxy, so him escaping damage this time, especially given how he improves his skills over the years, makes sense.
South Park ruined me with the accents I can’t take the commander seriously😂
I hate *Disney's Vader.* Overpowered, male version of Rey. And all, because nostalgia hits hard and old farts can't stop giving 💲💲💲💲💲
Troll and rage bait
Male version of Rey? He lost to Obi Wan, Rey never lost a fight
Vader is a villain, not a protagonist. A villain must be overpowered to be a real challenge
@@Triphaseful Yes, but Disney's overdone it. He was already very powerful pre-Disney.
@@SadAndVengeful My guy, Vader is literally the Chosen One, created by the Force itself
Of course he will be overpowered
