The really fun part of "Jango isn't a real Mandalorian" retcon in Clone Wars (9:40) is that it was meant as a joke. Because the then-current backstory was that Jango had actually been the leader and last survivor of the True Mandalorian faction in their recent civil war. It also foreshadowed that the guy who said it was loyal to the reconstituted other side. Then Disney wiped all of that out except for Clone Wars, and that line was the only part still canon. With The Mandalorian retconning it back that Jango (and therefore Boba) really was a Mandalorian after all, but not the other details, we're just left with "some asshole lied about it for literally no reason".
That's not entirely true. in the behing the scenes Dave said George had originally intended Boba (And later Jango) to have just scavenged the armor. The in universe asshole lying about it makes perfect sense though. He was an asshole, and at the time he served under a pacifist regime. So denying a violent assassin like Fett made total sense.
9:30 I'm glad you brought that up. The fact that mandalorians literally only exist to explain Boba's backstory, then the writers just decide Boba is not the thing that only exists to explain him, is one of the most asinine writing decisions I have seen. And yes Disney not acknowledging "Slave I" while appeasing a nation with significantly more than 1 slave is an excellent example of corporate hypocrisy.
like they COULD have just writen the slave as something of a temp at lest and not TRY to make it soemthing when its there to exist, but if ya gonna write someone out of a culture they helped exist ya can find SOME logic to why than like exiled and hunted or something. but ya slave just existed as something for plot carring nothin more. boba was able to move things on and got a culture out of it. slave was ment for scrap yard.
The Mandalorians were originally presented as an extinct culture with Boba Fett being the only one shown using their armor. In regards to Space-Iron 1, I just see something else whenever I am reading a book involving it.
@@malusignatius No one said that. The point people are making is that Disney is being mighty hypocritical by renaming Space iron -1, while constantly appeasing a Country that has actual concentration camps and slaves. They also thank the concentration camp authorities in the end credits of the Mulan failed cashgrab
@@Sigma-0007_Septem So, they should have just left the name as-is despite it being an affront to many people in the US and elsewhere because of bad stuff happening in China, gotcha. You realise what a dumb line of logic this is, right?
What I find absolutely stupid is that, instead of following a flight profile that exposes the Kunta 1 to as little fire as possible (the 'iron' profile), it instead flies in a 'SHOOT ALL OF ME' profile exposing itself fully in a sort of constant Cobra Maneuver.
Hilariously the design for the Slave I is actually taken from a type of Street light found in California. . . Which is better than the Falcon which is rumored to come from a cheeseburger of all things.
@Yuri Setsuna It came from food, that is just strange to think about either way. One of the most Iconic ships was from food... What did old George take an orange stab a hole in it and say, meet the _Death Star!_ It is interesting to see where the inspiration came from for the stranger ships.

I always had a hunch (before reading into S1/Jango’s backstory) that the Slave 1 was apart of a class of ship made more for the reason of “because we can” then actual practicality before being bought and made far more deadly by Jango/Boba At least its not Dengar’s ship which is a flying toilet 🤪
@@ambassadorofreee3859 I keep hearing about him stealing the ship. As if that's a good excuse to keep flying it. Cool he stole it. He should have immediately sold it and bought a better ship.
@@reinhardt3090 the indigenous people of Canada had some 23 words for snow so I would think they dealt with it enough that they had to distinguish the different structures and states of snow. which implies there was lots of snow and they had to communicate about it. If a language has many words for one thing with each word having slightly different connotations then it implies that the minor differences were important. which in turn implies that there was a large system in place where many people needed to communicate about a thing. it is actually incredibly simple. More words equate to a more focus on the thing from the culture. obviously, slavery is not okay now but historically that was fine.
Also for those VTOL aircraft... Imagine having to mount external pods, missiles or bombs to that thing. No cart, bottle jack for you, no! You'll have to use some kind of hoist system, dangle out a few hundred lbs of god knows what, and at some point hope whatever fixing you use doesn't decide to give way and drop 10 ft to the ground/deck.
Wasn't a problem, they were only going to use guns. Which, yes, may well have been why the idea got dropped. The Pogo could probably be made usable with fly-by-wire though.
I'm glad someone agrees with me on this ship. It's well armed and equipped, but that's really all. I understand Boba's personal attachment to the design as well, but about the only thing it has going for it is being tractor-beam capable with such a small ship. My friends argue that it is good because it is well armored. I argue that if it were so well armored the cockpit would be using sensors, or at least utilize a viewport that isn't so large that pretty much any hit to the front with something explosive would pop it like the can of pressurized air that it is.
According to the lore, the shielding and the sensor suites of the Slave I were extensively augmented first by Jango and then also by Boba, and apparently the chin blaster cannons were "the only thing remaining of the stock Firespray-31". So I think Boba Fett's use of the ship is equal part sentimentality, notoriety and the sheer fact that there is no equivalently equipped ship on the market.
@@darth_dan8886 Given Star Wars' commitment to Muscle Car culture, this honestly makes the most conceptual sense. Sure, you could buy something newer, shinier, "better". But it wouldn't be the vehicle you spent countless hours tuning, perfecting to be *yours*.
In terms of armor, ships in Star Wars don't use glass for viewports, they use transparent metals. Transparisteel is the most common, or at least the one mentioned most often, but sources (which may no longer be canon) have also mentioned transpariluminum and transparitanium.
@@arcticbanana66 I am aware of that. Bit the transparent metals are still much weaker than the armor material used on the rest of it. We aren't talking about a ship who's primary function is travel. It's meant to shoot and be shot at.
2:22 While no prototype was ever built, the Germans also considered a similar design in WW2, with the Focke Wulf Triebflügel. However, the Triebflügel, as its name implies, had three wings attached to a rotating ring around the fuselage, and each wing had a ramjet on the end. The ramjets would push the wings to rotate fast enough to lift the plane off the ground, then the plane and its engines would rotate to propel it in forward flight, still keeping the wing assembly rotating. Yes, it looks as stupid as it sounds.

I always assumed that the reason the S-1 landed like that was so in an emergency the pilot could literally just punch it and launch at maximum burn straight up. Which for a bounty hunter might indeed be an extremely valuable ability. Landing in a potentially unfriendly enclosed space should be the exception, not the rule.
@@SacredCowShipyards It would have been. But that's exactly the point: nearly every other time we see it docked it's on an open air platform or out in a field or clinging to the side of a spaceship. Fett indicates that he was doing a long term job for Jabba, so it was parked in the more secure internal hangar for the duration.
The Mandalorian culture originally comes from Georges production notes and even at that stage Boba was supposed to be someone who just wore the armour but wasn't an actual Mandalorian. It wasn't until the 2000's when Karen Traviss really fleshed them out, I always liked her take on them being more like Vikings as they spent most of their time as farmers and craftsmen on Mandalore and set out to fight when they needed money or were called to war by the current Mandalore. That was overwritten by The Clone Wars even before the Disney canon took over and while I like both versions, the legends Mando's had a really pragmatic outlook that set them apart from the binary morality you usually find in Star Wars.
The original backstory that came out as TESB was in production or just released was that, yes Boba wore Mandalorean armor and that the mandaloreans were a fierce race of warriors that once fought the Jedi but lost and possibly extinct. Boba himself (or possibly herself) was rumored to be an alien, a clone, a cyborg, a droid or any possibly a more exotic being. Or Luke’s mom. Eventually George settled on clone of a (former) Mando and that’s that.
The first tailsitter i am aware of was the german Bachem Ba 349 „Natter“, then the X-13 Vertijet, after them the Pogo and Salmon. Meanwhile the french tried to throw their Baguette in the ring with the SNECMA C.450-01 Coléoptère (Beetle in english, but don´t get me to speak it!). Russia wanted to play too, creating the Suchoi Schkwal, another plane i am not able to pronounce correctly. Unless i had enough Vodka. However if you think we learned anything out of all those failures, since 2015 Northrup Grumman is fiddling on a tailsitting drone for recon.
And the Impressed Sailor 1 is STILL not the stupidest ship design in Star Wars. That is still and will forever be the Nebulon-B Frigate (even Rogue One showed the biggest flaw with that idiotically moronic design.)
honestly, i just imagine the Nebulon B is a ship which had its entire center hull ripped out and the rebels just did what they could with it. add some triangular armor and add a section of major mechanical apparatus to the central location would work.
@@andrewchilds8886 Check out EC Henry's Nebulon frigate design, that thing is 1,000 times better than what we actually have. It also has some nice lore to go along with it.
@@DerCharacter this a thousand time, i wish he did more vids like that one. such great detailing in the models especially his startrek pacific101 series.
Okay, while I completely agree with the judgement that making the ship's profile as wide as it can get makes absolutely no sense neither drive nor maneuverability wise, nor can I find ANY other reason why this configuration would be beneficial (although I must admit the design looks cool, perhaps that alone has indeed been in mind of the designer,) I still am inclined to point out a few features of this ship you haven't really mentioned. First off, the blaster cannons on the chin of the ship. While it would be absolutely atrocious for these to be mounted that way on a fighter, on the Slave I they presumed the presence of a gunner using the weapons' built in optics (note how Boba Fett was shooting at Obi-Wan in Episode 2: there was no way for him to have a visual from the cockpit at that angle). In _that_ configuration _in particular,_ having the cannons on the long arm in relation to the cockpit could actually be an advantage in space combat: you could quickly alter firing angles by simply rotating the craft around the roll axis. Second, I want to point out that a seismic charge emits what is clearly a concentrated wave of gravitational disruption, judging by how it slices asteroids in half, and there is thus no reason for it not to work in space.
As someone who knows/knew one of the disappeared--and indeed was her boyfriend--thank you. I want to get that out of the way before weighing in on a single ship design, Star Wars or otherwise. As to Uyghur 1, Kazakh 1, Hui 1, Tibetan 1, or whatever name she goes under that the Bloodthirsty Mouse has brought upon itself, back when she was called Slave 1, ships of her class appeared in a game called X-Wing: Alliance, which was designed by people who clearly had experience at the whole combat flight sim genre. I'm only guessing on the experience part here, but the second you'd climb into that ship, virtually all of your shots would go low (real parallax error!) and your target profile was ENORMOUS. It was not a ship you wanted to fly if you wanted to survive, and I often wonder if they did that intentionally or not (especially since it was extremely well-armored and extremely-well-shielded, but both your shields and hull integrity got whittled down REAL fast).
To be fair, Star Wars clearly takes place in that Pre-Post-Technology type of era where people are more concerned with making cool unique stuff than things that are "oh so uber duper efficient and perfect". We have real-world mirrors of such things happening all the time.
The best consolation for all of these issues is that the Slave 1 is just a shitty cargo ship that Jango had gotten a hold of, and just never got rid of because "hey, it hasn't broken yet and it does the job." I fully believe Jango and later Boba were secretly hoping to find someone stupid enough to buy the Slave 1 or trade it for something better.
I lost it on first uyghur 1 LOL XD I realy apriciate the fact the space entity can see moral wrongs of totalitarianism better than some people here on earth
The smart play on Disney's part wouldn't have been to remove or change the name, but give it a good reason to have the name. . The Clones were all mind-controlled slaves. Boba, following in his father's footsteps, instead made a life for himself as a free man. The ship's name is Slave 1, in honor of him being the first clone (which, he doesn't actually know he is, but reasonably assumes so), and of his enslaved "brothers". . Since the name of the ship is never actually mentioned in Attack of the Clones, it's not unreasonable to say that Jango might've had a different name for it before, and that Boba changed it shortly after Order 66, when he would've started hearing about the clones being "removed" from active duty.

Less than a minute in and I am ROLLING! 🤣 This is one of my favorite ships in the franchise, yet I fully agree with your assessment. All the other vessels have real life inspiration - including everyone's favorite flying half eaten cheeseburger*. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where this thing came from. * No, seriously. GL has said a number of times that was eating a cheeseburger when he came up with the design of the Falcon. It's literally, and with zero hyperbole or exaggeration, designed to look like a flying cheeseburger. Edit: I would love to see them mess with fans by subtly changing the interior layout every season.
I always thought it looked more like a hand held vacuum cleaner, an emergency lamp or a trophy head of an elephant. The ACTUAL thing is based on some street lamp heads though.
Theres an extremely weird version of a tail sitter called the coleoptere, its like removing the traditional wings and getting the fuselage to wear a short barrel instead.
2:26 that's useful for a repair ship that would repair space stations and larger ships and maybe do some shifting and moving of construction supplies and shipping containers, but not so much elsewise. It would make much more sense if there were lifting/grasping arms coming out of the the stubby wings. As a gunship it's rather poor. And there's no rear visibility. You have to be a space wizard er, I mean "force user" to have any situational awareness in the Slave 1, and even then there's times where that will fail

It infuriates me that they renamed boba fett’s ship. Seriously he isn’t a slave hauler he’s a bounty hunter that got a used ship originally used by a corp that hauled slaves to haul slaves. And he practiced an old maritime superstition of never renaming a ship lest you bring misfortune on yourself. At least that’s how I’ve heard it told.
I always thought it looked like some sort of power sander. It also kinda looks like a snail or a remora, the latter of which may be what Lucasfilm was going for.
9:02 oddly the Ion cannon in the Mandalorian is where the blasters are in Book of Boba as an alt-fire. Older stuff had them replacing the rapid fire funs from Episode 2. Maybe both can alt fire or maybe each barrel of each gun at the end of the handle is different.
Dunno if you'll see this but I've been binge-playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition recently. Would love to see you cut down some of the ships in that series, whether it's the Normandy, the Reapers or even the Turian fighter or whatever.
About perfect on the new name. I always thought this looks like its part of another ship, like an escape capsule/landing craft, but the rest has been missing due to something or other. Serf and uygar(sp) are great, can't say that enough. btw, Involuntary intern would be a good one, but you may have said it and I didn't hear it.
They didn't rename it, they DENAMED it. Slave 1 is a Firespray-class heavy fighter. Also, the Firespray is even acknowledged in-universe as being a terrible base design. It was a prototype that Jango Fett stole, who then destroyed the rest, and making more was never bothered with because it straight up wasn't considered a good design... which means Slave 1 is quite LITERALLY one of a kind. Jango, and later Boba, made it viable with tons of modifications to weapons, shields, armor, and engines, when originally it entirely sucked ass. And even then it had problems, as you pointed out, but Boba and Jango had emotional attachments to the damn thing.
I'm impressed that he thinks the Firespray class is the worst design in the SW universe considering that ships like the Nebulon B and B-Wing also exist there.
Tail-sitting VTOL drones are a thing nowadays though, they seem to work a lot better on account of being much lighter and not having to look over their shoulder to land.
I was going to say it’s upright flight position maximizes the surface area to point as many weapons systems forward as possible….until I realized most of them are at the very end of the tail leaving most of that space unused….oh well I tried.
Honestly, we should probably just assume that half of the rotating weirdness is just Jango and Boba trying to compensate for the other half of the rotating weirdness, because a few droid motors, some angle iron, a switch or three, and a week of hiring some carpenters are a tiny fraction of the cost of a ship.
I have to say, as a longtime Star Wars fanboy, that you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I have never understood how Indentured 1 worked. It has definitely been my least favorite SW ship. Would love to see a video on my favorite though, the Legends only Skipray Blastboat. Even though it has unnecessary spinning bits, it actually seems to make sense for what it is supposedly to be.
I could see a design reason for "well, it lands on its back" if the ship were designed as part of a larger ship, maybe normally acting as a turret or something, operating in space 99.9% of the time that way and just happening to be able to land on its back if it absolutely *had* to go to a planet since that's where the thrusters were. . Maybe. But the ramp and blasters don't make sense in that configuration, either.

Best cause I can give is that turning gives it greater thruster surface. It’s a bad reason, considering really you want near to equal thrusters back and forward, but it’s the only one I can think of. Well, except maybe the turret section getting full rear-forward coverage? But, you could just put it somewhere else for that

The really fun part of "Jango isn't a real Mandalorian" retcon in Clone Wars (9:40) is that it was meant as a joke. Because the then-current backstory was that Jango had actually been the leader and last survivor of the True Mandalorian faction in their recent civil war. It also foreshadowed that the guy who said it was loyal to the reconstituted other side. Then Disney wiped all of that out except for Clone Wars, and that line was the only part still canon. With The Mandalorian retconning it back that Jango (and therefore Boba) really was a Mandalorian after all, but not the other details, we're just left with "some asshole lied about it for literally no reason".
"some asshole lied about it for literally no reason"
If that's not a decent working definition of Reddit then I don't know what is. ;-)
That's not entirely true. in the behing the scenes Dave said George had originally intended Boba (And later Jango) to have just scavenged the armor. The in universe asshole lying about it makes perfect sense though. He was an asshole, and at the time he served under a pacifist regime. So denying a violent assassin like Fett made total sense.
@@DIEGhostfish Good point. An asshole who lied for a reason, then.
Anything star wars made by disney is NOT canon, nobody can deny this.
lets not forget it was in a filoni show aka the dude who NEVER gave two shits about the EU lore or even the movie lore.
9:30 I'm glad you brought that up. The fact that mandalorians literally only exist to explain Boba's backstory, then the writers just decide Boba is not the thing that only exists to explain him, is one of the most asinine writing decisions I have seen. And yes Disney not acknowledging "Slave I" while appeasing a nation with significantly more than 1 slave is an excellent example of corporate hypocrisy.
like they COULD have just writen the slave as something of a temp at lest and not TRY to make it soemthing when its there to exist, but if ya gonna write someone out of a culture they helped exist ya can find SOME logic to why than like exiled and hunted or something. but ya slave just existed as something for plot carring nothin more. boba was able to move things on and got a culture out of it. slave was ment for scrap yard.
The Mandalorians were originally presented as an extinct culture with Boba Fett being the only one shown using their armor. In regards to Space-Iron 1, I just see something else whenever I am reading a book involving it.
Who said the renaming had anything to do with China?
Seriously, what evidence exists to support that claim?
@@malusignatius No one said that.
The point people are making is that Disney is being mighty hypocritical by renaming Space iron -1, while constantly appeasing a Country that has actual concentration camps and slaves.
They also thank the concentration camp authorities in the end credits of the Mulan failed cashgrab
@@Sigma-0007_Septem
So, they should have just left the name as-is despite it being an affront to many people in the US and elsewhere because of bad stuff happening in China, gotcha.
You realise what a dumb line of logic this is, right?
What I find absolutely stupid is that, instead of following a flight profile that exposes the Kunta 1 to as little fire as possible (the 'iron' profile), it instead flies in a 'SHOOT ALL OF ME' profile exposing itself fully in a sort of constant Cobra Maneuver.

Hilariously the design for the Slave I is actually taken from a type of Street light found in California. . . Which is better than the Falcon which is rumored to come from a cheeseburger of all things.

If a language has many words for one thing with each word having slightly different connotations then it implies that the minor differences were important. which in turn implies that there was a large system in place where many people needed to communicate about a thing. it is actually incredibly simple. More words equate to a more focus on the thing from the culture. obviously, slavery is not okay now but historically that was fine.

I'm glad someone agrees with me on this ship. It's well armed and equipped, but that's really all. I understand Boba's personal attachment to the design as well, but about the only thing it has going for it is being tractor-beam capable with such a small ship. My friends argue that it is good because it is well armored. I argue that if it were so well armored the cockpit would be using sensors, or at least utilize a viewport that isn't so large that pretty much any hit to the front with something explosive would pop it like the can of pressurized air that it is.
According to the lore, the shielding and the sensor suites of the Slave I were extensively augmented first by Jango and then also by Boba, and apparently the chin blaster cannons were "the only thing remaining of the stock Firespray-31". So I think Boba Fett's use of the ship is equal part sentimentality, notoriety and the sheer fact that there is no equivalently equipped ship on the market.
@@darth_dan8886 Given Star Wars' commitment to Muscle Car culture, this honestly makes the most conceptual sense. Sure, you could buy something newer, shinier, "better". But it wouldn't be the vehicle you spent countless hours tuning, perfecting to be *yours*.
In terms of armor, ships in Star Wars don't use glass for viewports, they use transparent metals. Transparisteel is the most common, or at least the one mentioned most often, but sources (which may no longer be canon) have also mentioned transpariluminum and transparitanium.
@@arcticbanana66 I am aware of that. Bit the transparent metals are still much weaker than the armor material used on the rest of it. We aren't talking about a ship who's primary function is travel. It's meant to shoot and be shot at.
@@arcticbanana66 wait but haven’t we seen “glass” on starships shatter like… well… glass
2:22 While no prototype was ever built, the Germans also considered a similar design in WW2, with the Focke Wulf Triebflügel. However, the Triebflügel, as its name implies, had three wings attached to a rotating ring around the fuselage, and each wing had a ramjet on the end. The ramjets would push the wings to rotate fast enough to lift the plane off the ground, then the plane and its engines would rotate to propel it in forward flight, still keeping the wing assembly rotating. Yes, it looks as stupid as it sounds.
Speaking of sounds, can you imagine the noise that thing would’ve made had they built one? It’s the worst of both a helicopter and a jet liner.

I always assumed that the reason the S-1 landed like that was so in an emergency the pilot could literally just punch it and launch at maximum burn straight up. Which for a bounty hunter might indeed be an extremely valuable ability. Landing in a potentially unfriendly enclosed space should be the exception, not the rule.
You say that, but it would have been a hell of a lot easier to have gotten it out of Jabba's garage if it flew normally.
@@SacredCowShipyards It would have been. But that's exactly the point: nearly every other time we see it docked it's on an open air platform or out in a field or clinging to the side of a spaceship. Fett indicates that he was doing a long term job for Jabba, so it was parked in the more secure internal hangar for the duration.
@@SacredCowShipyards Repulsorlifting around on that thing is gonna be awkward for sure.
The Mandalorian culture originally comes from Georges production notes and even at that stage Boba was supposed to be someone who just wore the armour but wasn't an actual Mandalorian. It wasn't until the 2000's when Karen Traviss really fleshed them out, I always liked her take on them being more like Vikings as they spent most of their time as farmers and craftsmen on Mandalore and set out to fight when they needed money or were called to war by the current Mandalore. That was overwritten by The Clone Wars even before the Disney canon took over and while I like both versions, the legends Mando's had a really pragmatic outlook that set them apart from the binary morality you usually find in Star Wars.
KoToR era mandalorians are amazing, wish they stuck with them for clone wars and future.
Karen Traviss'es vision is the correct vision
The original backstory that came out as TESB was in production or just released was that, yes Boba wore Mandalorean armor and that the mandaloreans were a fierce race of warriors that once fought the Jedi but lost and possibly extinct. Boba himself (or possibly herself) was rumored to be an alien, a clone, a cyborg, a droid or any possibly a more exotic being. Or Luke’s mom. Eventually George settled on clone of a (former) Mando and that’s that.
Thank you for adding that little offer at the end. If you ever need some help loading the cuber for give me a call.
“Try me.” I applaud your references up to there, and cheer at that phrase.
The first tailsitter i am aware of was the german Bachem Ba 349 „Natter“, then the X-13 Vertijet, after them the Pogo and Salmon.
Meanwhile the french tried to throw their Baguette in the ring with the SNECMA C.450-01 Coléoptère (Beetle in english, but don´t get me to speak it!).
Russia wanted to play too, creating the Suchoi Schkwal, another plane i am not able to pronounce correctly. Unless i had enough Vodka.
However if you think we learned anything out of all those failures, since 2015 Northrup Grumman is fiddling on a tailsitting drone for recon.
And the Impressed Sailor 1 is STILL not the stupidest ship design in Star Wars. That is still and will forever be the Nebulon-B Frigate (even Rogue One showed the biggest flaw with that idiotically moronic design.)
honestly, i just imagine the Nebulon B is a ship which had its entire center hull ripped out and the rebels just did what they could with it. add some triangular armor and add a section of major mechanical apparatus to the central location would work.
@@andrewchilds8886 Check out EC Henry's Nebulon frigate design, that thing is 1,000 times better than what we actually have. It also has some nice lore to go along with it.
I would also point towards Fractalsponge, that created good number of ships, including Nebulon-B before being stripped down and used by Rebellion
@@DerCharacter this a thousand time, i wish he did more vids like that one. such great detailing in the models especially his startrek pacific101 series.

Okay, while I completely agree with the judgement that making the ship's profile as wide as it can get makes absolutely no sense neither drive nor maneuverability wise, nor can I find ANY other reason why this configuration would be beneficial (although I must admit the design looks cool, perhaps that alone has indeed been in mind of the designer,) I still am inclined to point out a few features of this ship you haven't really mentioned.
First off, the blaster cannons on the chin of the ship. While it would be absolutely atrocious for these to be mounted that way on a fighter, on the Slave I they presumed the presence of a gunner using the weapons' built in optics (note how Boba Fett was shooting at Obi-Wan in Episode 2: there was no way for him to have a visual from the cockpit at that angle).
In _that_ configuration _in particular,_ having the cannons on the long arm in relation to the cockpit could actually be an advantage in space combat: you could quickly alter firing angles by simply rotating the craft around the roll axis.
Second, I want to point out that a seismic charge emits what is clearly a concentrated wave of gravitational disruption, judging by how it slices asteroids in half, and there is thus no reason for it not to work in space.
As someone who knows/knew one of the disappeared--and indeed was her boyfriend--thank you. I want to get that out of the way before weighing in on a single ship design, Star Wars or otherwise.
As to Uyghur 1, Kazakh 1, Hui 1, Tibetan 1, or whatever name she goes under that the Bloodthirsty Mouse has brought upon itself, back when she was called Slave 1, ships of her class appeared in a game called X-Wing: Alliance, which was designed by people who clearly had experience at the whole combat flight sim genre. I'm only guessing on the experience part here, but the second you'd climb into that ship, virtually all of your shots would go low (real parallax error!) and your target profile was ENORMOUS. It was not a ship you wanted to fly if you wanted to survive, and I often wonder if they did that intentionally or not (especially since it was extremely well-armored and extremely-well-shielded, but both your shields and hull integrity got whittled down REAL fast).
To be fair, Star Wars clearly takes place in that Pre-Post-Technology type of era where people are more concerned with making cool unique stuff than things that are "oh so uber duper efficient and perfect".
We have real-world mirrors of such things happening all the time.
The best consolation for all of these issues is that the Slave 1 is just a shitty cargo ship that Jango had gotten a hold of, and just never got rid of because "hey, it hasn't broken yet and it does the job."
I fully believe Jango and later Boba were secretly hoping to find someone stupid enough to buy the Slave 1 or trade it for something better.
I caught the Uyghur in there. Good slip in.
The only thing it really had to do in Empire Strikes Back was blend in with a bunch of garbage, and it accomplished that task well.
I lost it on first uyghur 1 LOL XD
I realy apriciate the fact the space entity can see moral wrongs of totalitarianism better than some people here on earth
The smart play on Disney's part wouldn't have been to remove or change the name, but give it a good reason to have the name.
.
The Clones were all mind-controlled slaves. Boba, following in his father's footsteps, instead made a life for himself as a free man. The ship's name is Slave 1, in honor of him being the first clone (which, he doesn't actually know he is, but reasonably assumes so), and of his enslaved "brothers".
.
Since the name of the ship is never actually mentioned in Attack of the Clones, it's not unreasonable to say that Jango might've had a different name for it before, and that Boba changed it shortly after Order 66, when he would've started hearing about the clones being "removed" from active duty.

Less than a minute in and I am ROLLING! 🤣 This is one of my favorite ships in the franchise, yet I fully agree with your assessment. All the other vessels have real life inspiration - including everyone's favorite flying half eaten cheeseburger*. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where this thing came from.
* No, seriously. GL has said a number of times that was eating a cheeseburger when he came up with the design of the Falcon. It's literally, and with zero hyperbole or exaggeration, designed to look like a flying cheeseburger.
Edit: I would love to see them mess with fans by subtly changing the interior layout every season.
It was a weird shaped streetlight.
Pls do a video on the wunderwaffe TIE Defender - a normal tie with shields, a hyperdrive, and faster and more maneuverable than a purpose built A-wing
I always thought it looked more like a hand held vacuum cleaner, an emergency lamp or a trophy head of an elephant.
The ACTUAL thing is based on some street lamp heads though.
Theres an extremely weird version of a tail sitter called the coleoptere, its like removing the traditional wings and getting the fuselage to wear a short barrel instead.
"Indentured servant 1" omg I'm dying laughing dockmaster!
2:26 that's useful for a repair ship that would repair space stations and larger ships and maybe do some shifting and moving of construction supplies and shipping containers, but not so much elsewise. It would make much more sense if there were lifting/grasping arms coming out of the the stubby wings. As a gunship it's rather poor. And there's no rear visibility. You have to be a space wizard er, I mean "force user" to have any situational awareness in the Slave 1, and even then there's times where that will fail

It infuriates me that they renamed boba fett’s ship. Seriously he isn’t a slave hauler he’s a bounty hunter that got a used ship originally used by a corp that hauled slaves to haul slaves. And he practiced an old maritime superstition of never renaming a ship lest you bring misfortune on yourself. At least that’s how I’ve heard it told.
I always thought it looked like some sort of power sander. It also kinda looks like a snail or a remora, the latter of which may be what Lucasfilm was going for.
9:02 oddly the Ion cannon in the Mandalorian is where the blasters are in Book of Boba as an alt-fire. Older stuff had them replacing the rapid fire funs from Episode 2. Maybe both can alt fire or maybe each barrel of each gun at the end of the handle is different.

They didn't rename it, they DENAMED it.
Slave 1 is a Firespray-class heavy fighter.
Also, the Firespray is even acknowledged in-universe as being a terrible base design. It was a prototype that Jango Fett stole, who then destroyed the rest, and making more was never bothered with because it straight up wasn't considered a good design... which means Slave 1 is quite LITERALLY one of a kind.
Jango, and later Boba, made it viable with tons of modifications to weapons, shields, armor, and engines, when originally it entirely sucked ass.
And even then it had problems, as you pointed out, but Boba and Jango had emotional attachments to the damn thing.

I agree with most things you said. The inconsistency of the Slave-1’s design throughout its iterations is very confusing.
Honestly, we should probably just assume that half of the rotating weirdness is just Jango and Boba trying to compensate for the other half of the rotating weirdness, because a few droid motors, some angle iron, a switch or three, and a week of hiring some carpenters are a tiny fraction of the cost of a ship.
So it has a name. The cubifyer.

No disintegrations.
I could see a design reason for "well, it lands on its back" if the ship were designed as part of a larger ship, maybe normally acting as a turret or something, operating in space 99.9% of the time that way and just happening to be able to land on its back if it absolutely *had* to go to a planet since that's where the thrusters were. . Maybe. But the ramp and blasters don't make sense in that configuration, either.
