can you make a video on the chancellor class star destroyer
EckhartsLadder now pit these guys up against the yusaan vong
Yes thank you, i didnt even know i wanted this
Is the Chancellor-class a fanon design? Or is it one of those ships in the New Jedi Order books?
EckhartsLadder It was my first book, digging into the EU. Pretty interesting. I kinda liked the way they came back to Bakura, years later, to see them building a new ship class. I think they end up wiped out by the Vong? Can't remember.
This resembles the Battle of Castle Itter from WW2, were American forces and German forces team up to protect VIPs held at Castle Itter. 😃
KommandantMakaröwitz: Right, they also had to relied on a tenis player to sneak pass the gunfire to call in some allies reinforcements.
@@thedarkknight727 he was quite brave
Yes! Wehrmacht soldiers and American army against SS soldiers.
Or Germans and Russians teaming up during WW1 to fight very aggressive wolves
Who were the villans
There's one key facet that contributed to the limited Ssi-Ruu forces and their quick route: Their religion states that any who die away from their homeworld are doomed to nothingness. This means that on a psychological level they can't take casualties without being instantly horrified at their impending fate, and is why they rely so heavily on droid and slave controls and send minimum fighting forces rather than risk a large contingent. With Luke carving through their ship and the defending forces inflicting their own damage the Ssi-Ruu suffered a loss of morale at a rate far higher than fleets would, which compounded their own inability to maintain an offensive.
Sounds like they need to build some resurrection ships.
@@stab74 just like the silons.
@@gameoflife9576 That's Cylons guy. ;)
Nice to see battle star galactica still getting mentioned to this day
Makes you wonder then why that type of species would even bother with conquest if they shit themselves mentally at losing a few ships
I'm rahter disappointed that this "Battle of Bakura" did not involve any children's trading card games.
loverofjesusMKII Was looking for a Yu-Gi-Oh comment, you were the first I found. Thank you. Good day.
Bakura! I know how we’re going to defeat the Pharaoh!
Maybe Bakura and Luke had a legendary battle involving a children's trading card game in some weird timeline?
Thank you! I was looking for this.
All heil Zorc
I always find it heartwarming when two enemies fight together to destroy a much bigger enemy. There’s something so poetic about it.
I also like this kind of fighting.
It shows how much people care about being good rather than being powerful. Sometimes we just have different ideas of good. So nice people end up fighting each other.
@@colbzter7356 wouldn't call the empire nice people
@@bobafett1313 How???
I love the idea that when the rebels were prepping for Bakura. Wedge was pulled out of a bakta tank and pretty much told ‘put together a new rogue squadron out of who is here. You fly out tomorrow’
I'm imagining Luke rampaging through the flagship as being similar to the "They hit me with a truck" scene from the pilot episode of The Venture Bros.
Marvel: Infinity War will be the most ambitious crossover event in history.
Me:
Dark Helmet VS Darth Vader (1 quadrillionth attempt)
because of your persistence,I'll like
Your Schwartz is the same size as mine
May the schwarts be with you
*Ah FUCK! I HATE it when my schwartz gets twisted!*
Vader's balls were burned off when he was beat on Mustafar, Helmet has nothing to target.
personally i really like the small scale battles. a few capital ships each. It's easier for me to think about 2000-8000 men in a ship dying in battle and the masive costs that is if it's not huge battles like Endor or Jakku. It's also interesting to hear about the smaller scale manuvers i feel
Ah, I remember this book.
Anyways, 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: eighteen times.
Didn't the Fall of Coruscant involve more ships?
@@Ridgwaycer I don’t think so. I’ve never read the books but I’m pretty sure basically every ship in the galaxy was there
@@Ridgwaycer Battle of the Black Bantha Nebula saw one New Republic Fleet of 900 Vessels engage and destroy one of two Yuuzhan Vong Fleets that intended to attack Coruscant, in exchange for roughly 30% casualties. The remains of that New Republic Fleet and two other New Republic Fleets then engaged the other Yuuzhan Vong Fleet in the Battle of Coruscant itself. But there were other New Republic Fleets defending other worlds at the time.
At Yuuzhan'tar every Galactic Alliance Fleet was present versus virtually every Yuuzhan Vong Fleet in a showdown between two Grand Fleets.
@@CFRF13 I'm pretty sure that the Battle of Coruscant in the Clone Wars was bigger, anyways.
@@razgriz9146 No it wasnt, the Battle of Yuuzhan'Tar eclipsed it by a huge amount, the Clone wars battle was maybe 3000 ships across both sides, the Vong War battle was literally every ship on both sides there, as the Vong had withdrawn most (some officers refused) of their ships to Yuuzhan'Tar due to Zenoma Sekot, a decendent of their living homeworld appeared insystem, the GA basically ordered ALL, and i do mean literally ALL their ships to attack Coruscant. the clone wars battle was just a part of each side, this was ALL the ships
I have the book, I can really recommend Reading it
Phelan Niesen
Please, what's its name?
Phelan Niesen how did you get it?
A. Ahmou its Name is "the pakt of bakura"
Tommy Maxey its borrowed from a friend who also likes Star wars very much. How she got it i dunno
Thank you!
When I was a kid I had a handful of EU Star Wars micromachines, one or them was this big head looking thing. Now I know is was a ssi-ruuvi Shree class battle cruiser thanks to this video. Thanks Eckharts!
Adam Meier same
I seem to recall a set of EU micromachines with characters and vehicles from "The Truce at Bakura", the Thrawn Trilogy, and the Jedi Academy Trilogy. I had the Ssi-ruuvi ship and a bunch of others...Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Sun Crusher, Mara Jade, Kyp Durron, Moruth Doole, the Lady Luck, the Flurry, and probably some others I'm forgetting about.
Same. my favorite was the lambda class imperial shuttle.
Its a shame they stopped making them.
I still have most of mine, including the Ssi-Ruuk ship, and the Flurry. Never found the Mon Remonda, Coral Vanda or TIE Scimitar though.
I absolutely LOVE this book! Tyers successfully created an evil greater than how the Empire and the Rebellion viewed each other. 10/10 This is why I love the EU.
The best star wars channel for sure
Star wars theory is best when it comes to the lore of the force, he focuses on jedi and sith. Eck focases on the warfare, the battles, and the tatics and the straitiges of the battles star wars. Not that is bad I'm staiting what makes the 2 chanals different
68th Attempt:
Yuuzhan Vong v. Reapers
Boi it was my 18th birthday last Saturday...I got real lucky ;)
reapers hands down, all of that organic shit they got is easily corruptable by the reapers and used against them
Aka Space Orcs vs Space Squid
AngelBeatz I’d thing the Yuuzhan Vong, I haven’t heard much about them, except for their extreme power. I love Reapers and all but... Ehhhhh
My new favorite avatar^^
Idea: do an episode where you describe your “perfect fleet”, with access to ships from Star Wars, Halo, Mass Effect, and/or other sci-if universes.
(5th try)
Second this
Warden - He would have to disregard the universe related ship"stats" or he will just end up with those having the biggest numbers in their description book.
Then it would be a very good idea, even knowing that his fleet will always consist of a bunch of imperial space doritos and spacefishpotatoes ^^
Nice idea maby also a orbital base and ground base
Well, my perfect fleet would be a squadron of Xeelee Nightfighters..
Which would completely destroy all three Mantle's Approach class ships. At least cripple them.
Eldar Craftworld,Mantle's Approach,Death star,Spear of Adun.
Although I am more used to the Canon universe, I find the legends universe more interesting to learn. No offense.
EDIT: Could you the battle breakdown on the second galactic civil war in the legends universe?
Some things were just outright stupid though in legends,not to say some Canon things arent either.
Doge Fishron none taken!
I love the legends version of the thrawn story!
To me, his legacy and his demise in legends was perfectly fine, but his demise in canon was not!
what was his demise in cannon?
@Tarik Gleam: SPOILERS
AFAIK grabbed by a hyperspace fairing tentacled whale and being jumped to hyperspace (with his whole star destroyer and one of the main cast of rebels)...
Thrawn and Ezra was confirmed alive by Filoni, so theoretically, they could still be chilling drinking martinis in his Star Destroyer by Ep. IX
15 and amazing video and this shows that even groups of people that fought eacher they can put their personal hate aside and work together to save innocent
Some can! Others, like Governor Nereus, are too evil!
EckhartsLadder true enough but it still nice to see that people with good heart can say we need to put aside are hate and help each to save the many we even see this with the sith Empire of the old republic
Maybe Americans on TH-cam will someday do the same...
Chris sonofPear what that supposed to men I am American you have something to say and where are you from
You can't be American, they speak English in America.
Bakura, thats my favorite planet and ship in the chaos mod for star wars.
Its cool seeing the 2 factions fighting together at a time when they couldn’t be further apart
This is exactly the kind of fantastic weirdness that Star Wars has sadly lost in the last few years.
I’d love to see more legends eu, it’s so much more fun
Zachary DiRenzo so true
I find it interesting that the rebels and empire worked so well tactically.
Do the battle of Umbara please, more land battles
4:45 Peter WHAT?!? so the empire had the infinity stones all along
This pretty much is like the real life equivalent of the battle. Called battle of castle itter. German Wehrmacht and the United state forces defending against the Waffen SS.
I like how Star Wars have real life battle references.
dude i cannot express enough how much i love your videos im a huge fan of Halo, Starwars and Battlestar Galactica so every time i see the new upload i get a nice smile on my face :D
I love that you show the maps of where events are occurring. However, I often find that I have to pause the video to find what planet you are talking about. If you could find a way to highlight, circle, point to, something to the planet you are talking about I think it could help your videos reach top tier quality. (You've been making huge strides in quality of your videos and recording since I subbed some time ago keep it up!)
This is by far my favorite series! Keep it up!!
Thank you for hopping on this idea. Great job.
Awesome video as always. :)
Yeah, the concept of Rebel Alliance/NR fighting together with the Empire against common enemy is something that I liked very much. That was also one of the aspects why I find NJO great, too.
The Battle of Bakura, alas, it brings me good memories... I have The Truce At Bakura Sourcebook here in my country of Costa Rica. Gotta dig it out of my boxes...
I'd love to see an analysis of the ground tactics used during the Republic's attack on Umbara. The unique traits of the planet combined with the unique methods of fighting that the Umbarans used could be really interesting.
I remember resding this book. its so nice to enjoy a video on it
read it years ago and loved it. your analysis is spot on.
Awwh, this is beautiful.
Hey Eckharts, can you talk about the Great Hyperspace War and its decisive battles? Thanks
Would love to see a breakdown of the conflict in the Corellian system during the second civil war! I love all these videos, great work!
Thanks eco for the music love it and loved the video a real interesting battle now gotta go read the book 🙏
Loved this video, love your channel. Just tonight my friend and I got into an argument over Yoda VS The Hulk. Now that's a fight I'd like to see.
I love this videos love to keep seeing them
Did I hear correctly? Peter Thanis became Luke Skywalker's love interest after the battle?
Caden Grace no, Petr Thanas married Luke's loves interest Gaeriel Captisan
He can if you want him to be😉
Oh thank heaven for that.
Kasino kaiser in the rain and the rockets
@@EckhartsLadderSo Luke can sense that the guy has a good heart, and after ensuring that guy's survival he ends up with Luke's love interest? Ouch.
Great video! Could you do the battle breakdown on the Outbound flight? It's one of Thrawn first major battle, especially when he set-up that pirate fleet and the outbound flight into fighting each other; essentially killing two birds with one stone is just brilliant!
Canon Universe really takes the TIE down too many pegs for the sake of using them as convenient cannon fodder.
Michael Piperni In films it is.
Podemos URSS idk at least in A New Hope the TIES engaging Red and Gold squadrons give them a run for their money
I mean, this very battle has "We can't use this simulation data becasue you forgot that TIEs suck" as a minor plot point
This vid just popped up in my recommended vids! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
By far the best outro I've ever seen... Ever.
This was my first Star Wars expanded universe novel, it was a stocking stuff for Christmas from my mother. I for one like that the battle involved so few ships, and focuses on the carrack , and the quasar class which are two of my favorite small cruisers.
Ah, classic Star Wars at its best. Truce at Bakura was an excellant read.
Yeah I really liked that book. It showed a side of the Empire that had not been touched on yet when it came out
Another Great Video 👍
I love hearing all these blasts from the past. I'd completely forgot about the combined fleets. Makes me want to read it again.
Love ur vids keep up the good work
Suggesting breakdown of Operation Emperor's Spear during the Yuuzhan Vong war.
Also, that outro is STRONG.
Can we get a battle breakdown of the Battle for the Darksaber from the Darksaber crisis? Please and thank you.
You always deliver some of the best stuff and your new style of Battle Breakdowns is awesome and something I've always wanted to see. I absolutely love your new ending with the poor pup going crazy. Please add more ships to the into and the viewport. I would absolutely love some ships from old school stuff like the ship from the Last Star Fighter. Keep up the great work.
I love to see this on movie or similar. Tie-fighter and X-wings working together is a sight to behold.
A great book and a great video
Yes! I was waiting for this one! =D
definitely do more battles where the Empire and Rebels team up!
I agree, I did find this a fun read. At the time, thought it could be the basis of a decent movie.
I do have The Truce At Bakura HC Sourcebook, never played the RPG, liked the additional story and
tech info.
The Truce at Bakura was one of the few old EU books I really enjoyed reading!
SC4649 did you also enjoy the thrawn trilogy?
Well done
Do the Fall and Liberation of Coruscant during the Yuuzhan Vong War. Great video as always.
Really good
I'm currently reading that book :D
Interesting i only read about Bakura and these aliens in a yuzahn vong book.
I like storys where enemys have to work togehter so this sounds entertaining.
Btw nice analysis as allways.
YES! I LOVE the book.
Loved that book
I would like to see this battle on screen or in a series
Good vidio, I like the serise,a vidio on the second battle of geonosis would be cool.
Nice video
If they had the Egyptian God cards, they would have won.
i stay to watch the puppy at the end every time
Good video 👍
Now thatd be a cool Star Wars solo story
I'd love to see the Battle of Borleias and thus the Lusankya's final victory!
Great video! And do the mistakes at the battle of geonosis
The ending is the best
I wanna see the battle of Melvin next!
That outro though!😂
Yeah, I loved this book.
I'm really liking these battle analysis vids. Is there a chance we'll get more of these in different universes?
By the way, can you do the Battle of Ebaq 9 which was the turning point of the Yuuzhan Vong war in legends?
CedarHunt we've coved a couple of Halo battles, and some BSG. Star Trek is on the way
You should creat a sub-series for this series. I think you should do something along the lines of “How I Would Have Taken Back Control Over the Galaxy if I Had The Empire Unser My Command” Or something like that. It wouldn’t be one episode of course. It might be 3 or 4 parts. Obviously it would be talking about the take over as a whole, not every single battle or skirmish.
I don’t know, it’s just an idea.
That outro!
I luke...*like* that the battle was very detailed and small, allowing for visualization to be quite clear.
Grew up with the audio book, really good book
I'd love it if you did a versus between the replicators(Stargate SG 1) and the flood
It is really cool to see in many situations the opposite forces to cooperate ..it can be seen that they can maybe find a way of living together istead of fighting each other. like the time when german soldiers and american soldiers fought together at the itte casstle against nazi germany (sorry if its wrong the name)
I hope you will do some of the battles of the Hunt for Warlord Zsinj campaign.
This reminds me of the Battle of Castle Itter. On May 5, 1945, 5 days after Hitler's suicide and two days before the surrender of Nazi Germany, 13 Heer soldiers and a Waffen SS officer fought alongside 16 men of the US 12th Armored division and several French VIPs and 2 members of the Austrian Resistance against a 150-200 man force from the 17th Waffen SS Panzergrenadier division who had been terrorizing the town of Worgl and were attempting to kill the POWs.
The battle for kamino, the battle for the citadel, or and battle with the Yuuzhan vong would be cool
The Imperial flagship is the Dominant!
Also it's a Carrack-class cruiser
I find that hilarious for some reason.
After reading about the Ssi-Ruu in The NJO, I honestly wish we got to see more of them. Truce at Bakura is definitely on my reading list now though lol.
One thing that I think you forgot to mention was how Luke managed to get the enteched souls to fight back, causing the major disarray we see
I'd love to see how this battle would play out in Armada. Probably would need a lot of help from EC Henry for that. Maybe it would be better shown in one of the better mods for Homeworld 2.
I always like the battle at bakura because it wasn't a giant space battle like endor, or corasant, it was just a defensive fleet and some help fighting what seemed like overwhelming odds, and winning through a combination of skill, tactics, and the right people at the right place, reminds me of what players in a RPG could do, to help in a battle.
I remember reading this book many years ago. There is something you did not mention if my memory serves me correctly. That the life force was used to power technology including the drones and it was still sentient. Luke was going to be used to calm the people that were to be drained to calm the energy and make it more controllable, they already had a force sensitive assistant doing this but her power was limited. It was the ability of Luke to connect with the spirit or life force of these victims that eventually gave him an advantage in fighting the invaders on the ship.
I wonder what Admiral Ackbar’s reaction to receiving this distress call was. Remember, just days before this battle, he came dangerously close to having his entire fleet wiped out by Imperial forces. He probably thought that the distress call from the Imperial Bakura defense force may have been another trap. If that was the case, I wouldn’t blame him for being reluctant to take immediate action. I would be reluctant too.
so cool. Is there a star wars strategy game where we can do something similar?
A very good read. You can't help but feel sorry for Luke Skywalker at the end.
