- On today's Star Wars Battle Breakdown, we look at the Orinda Campaign, which saw the Super Star Destroyers of the Empire face off against the Dreadnoughts of the New Republic.
Check out the Essential Guide to Warfare (and support the channel): amzn.to/2tQEgwn
The Battle of Orinda was a major win for the Empire and Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, and saw the near destruction of the Lusankya Super Star Destroyer. Almost immediately after, the Imperial Remnant launched a major campaign against the New Republic, spearheaded by their three dreadnoughts: the Dominion, Reaper and Megador. This campaign would ultimately spell the end of the Galactic Civil War.

Eckhart: "6 Interdictors destroyed by a single squadron of X-Wings."
Empire at War Players: * *confused screaming* *
Not when it's Rogue Squadron.
Plot armor. Lol
Fr, single squadron on xwings could maybe blow the shield generators off of 2 or 3 in eaw
In EaW X-Wings don't use their torpedoes.
@@AAhmou they do in the remake mod and in the other popular ones
I wonder how long it took to paint the rebel symbol onto the super star destroyer
😁 😁 😁
It's a big dreadnought that would say ........ 5 months 0_0
There's the paint for the Errant Venture. Right there.
Well theres one thing for sure, it is good business for that paint retailer!
You also just answered the question of why the Empires ships had the colors they had, and why the Lusankya in New Republic service didn't sport the standard New Republic ship colors, a very bright White-Grey(even brighter than the Old Republics White-Grey) with Red highlights instead of retaining the Imperial colors of... a basically unpainted hull. ^^
And now imagine how much it costed Booster Terrik to paint the *whole* Errant Venture(formlery Virulence in Imperial service), a goddamn Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, in deep red! I think most of the budget for the modifications he had made went into the paint. xD
Recusant Class Light Destroyer vs Something
(Assault Frigate or MC75 perhaps)
It's coming home
I’ve always wondered what happened to the Megador after that last battle you mentioned. Was it completely destroyed after that or was it captured?
Ecs-ecuātor
Pellaeon I think was the best overall Imperial leader. While Thrawn is still the grand master in terms of tactical and grand strategy, Pellaeon also had a good measure of political savvy on his side. He wasn't overly ambitious, he knew his limits, and knew when to pursue peace over conflict for the sake of the Empire's survival.
He also was able to serve under thrawn, learning a lot about strategy
I think he was good but Thrawn was better
Sirius Black thrawn was a great admiral, but would have no idea how to lead an empire
King Kairos Enpire of the hand?
King Kairos He did
He chose Quality Fighters and Smaller Aircraft that wouldn’t be a disaster if one was lost
While the Empire Decided to make Large ships such as the Death Star And Death Star II Which when they were lost was a major Blow to the Empire
Had the Moffs not been so war-hungry, the Imperial Remnant would still have the remaining Star Dreadnoughts and Interdictor cruisers under their command. Imagine the amount of damage those Star Dreadnoughts would have inflicted on the Yuuzhan Vong.
Anyway, excellent video, Ecks! Good work!

He's one of my favorite characters!
I don't mean to be rude, but it's not really respectful if you don't take the time to learn one's name. (Pellaeon)

Thanks for correcting me
Saeid Radder
Well, there was an interview as far as I know which made clear he is NOT confirmed dead. So I hope someone (Zahn would be the best option) writes on about him in a new role. I think he would not be happy in the First Order, since he disliked insane Force users, but he would made a perfect replacement for this stupid donkey Hux. He was/is the type of imperial books and films need.
This is what the Sequel Trilogy should have been; a battle of attrition between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, not just a re-hash of the Original Trilogy.
Who would the main villain have been though? Possibly includes a Darksider?
Grand Admiral Thrawn, Ysanne Isard, the resurrected Emperor, any of the Dark Force users from the Jedi Knight games, a brand-new villain that isn't Kylo Ren, hell even retcon Darth Revan or Lord Vitiate into the Galactic Civil War since they're supposed to be immortal. TBH I was hoping the Sequel Trilogy would take some inspiration from SWTOR, with Luke's new Jedi Order facing off against an army of Sith Warriors rallying the remnants of the Empire. Hundreds of Jedi versus hundreds of Sith, it could've been so epic... the new trilogy was such a missed opportunity.
I think guys like Thrawn and Pellaeon would be "difficult". I would find them wonderful, but they are outside the simple (stupid) black and white Star Wars films often show. It would made the films much more grey, and since I saw the way the FO was shown even as more stupid, curel and despotic than the Empire, I do not believe that the guys in charge would made a good job in bringing such complex characters to life.
That's why they would need completely different people in charge in order to make Star Wars right. They could've hired the writers at Obsidian who made *Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.* Put them in charge of a Star Wars film, it would be the greatest Star Wars movie of all time.
Thrawn or Pellaeon, or both, with a dark side user pulling the strings behind them, maybe not revealed until later.
Who would love to see a new star wars movie trilogy but during operation shadow hand all the way to the Vong invasion.
Touringcarton42
Yeah, it would have been awesome if Disney had taken Legends, retconned the stuff that didn't make sense, fit in well, or were just too inconsistent, then produced what was left adding in new ideas wherever holes were found instead of giving us an entirely new canon and fudging up half way through the trilogy...
Touringcarton42. Mememememememememememememememememe
Kurayamiblack yea very true I somehow find it hard to believe that in the last Jedi the resistance even went to hyperspace , only 4 ships and all destroyed but they took the 60km dreadnaught and the bellator and about 4 smaller destroyers...
Dylan Desrosiers *DROID ATTACK ON THE WOOKIES*
Dylan Desrosiers oh sorry ha I though you meant "Meme". Ha
I've always wondered where the picture with the SSD's having a slugfest came from.
Imagine having to fly between that exchange 😂😂😂
Here's to Pellaeon, man of loyalty and honor!
In the good Admiral’s words...ITS A TRAP!!!
Captain Cutter he deserved a better a death in the last Jedi instead they gave it to some pink haired bimbo
@@TheJoeSwanon ik.
I... Why... Why in the hell would they place the fleet carrier there in that formation? Captain be damned the Commander should of had him thrown in the brig for such stupidity.
That's a big reason why I hate the retcon of Orinda that Jason Fry created in the Essential Guide to Warfare. Now, we know that the Endurance fleet carrier had to be destroyed because the commander held back the fighters from Black Fleet Crisis, but Fry made it even dumber than it had to be.
Yeah, I think he could have given that a more careful look. The carrier's captain was also implied to be MALE originally, in the Black Fleet Crisis books.
Yeah. I like the IDEA of writing up the story of Orinda, but I really hate how Fry executed it. It was just too neat, tying up a lot of named characters so it feels like something we should care about, but doesn't actually fit with what's already there.
Maybe not on the level of an Abel G. Pena type retcon, but still a bit too connected, hmm.
But uhhh... When exactly did this all take place? I seem to recall a certain Wedge Antilles being forced to take a promotion, which saw him move to fleet command.. Specifically, command of the Lusankya as well as rogue squadron...
Ie. Wedge might've been that fleet commander...
The battle of Orinda was one of the finest moments of Pellaeon's career. Throughout most of his service history he was one of the most reliably good officers in the Imperial Fleet. His only major failure was at the 3rd battle of Yavin.
1987MartinT I think that was 3rd battle, second was almost immediately after destruction of Death Star
Okay. I'll correct it.
@NihlusGreen I could be mistaken, but I think the Starfighters of Adulmar is set at or around the time of the Orinda battle.
There was a later battle there, not shown in the novel.
A real shame, Pelleon showing some of the skills he has (picked up), managing a victory against the NR (that would've been even greater if not for Plot Armour, uh, Rogue Squadron only for the idiotic Moffs to screw things up.
Ah well. He did get a few good ones in still later on.
I mean, the writers do make the story. Isn’t really such a thing as plot armor when you consider it was writers that got them into the mess to begin with.
@@firestarr5812 The writers wrote kind of a crappy story. All throughout the series the rebels manage to barely pull victory from defeat because of dumb moves on their enemies part. Here we see an imperial admiral actually being smart and yet still the rebels don’t get completely destroyed because the magical rogue squadron takes out 6 cruisers real quick. At a certain point the good guys being unstoppable reaches a level of unbelievable and the whole story could’ve been far enhanced if they removed even a portion of the extreme plot armor
@@masonkiefer1222
I can totally agree with that.
@@masonkiefer1222 Thats the sad reality of when you put a small force of good guys against a large force of bad guys. Its why the Clone Wars interests me far more. Yes, both sides were manipulated, but they were still going all out equally matched, and both sides took heavy loses. You could even make the argument that either the Republic or the CIS could win the war. Rather than the GCW, where the question is not if the Empire would win, but when would they lose?
Yeah completely agree. It's so stupid seeing the reveal always pull off these moves@@masonkiefer1222
Legends is way more better than Disney Star Wars. 👍
Stfu loser
@@cia793 dude chill, i prefer the new canon but legends was fun as hell to, besides its @Gallius Rax opinion, it doesnt affect you.
Fuckin losers
@@cia793 fucking Disney.
@@cia793 i can tell you are very mature.
Even though the battle of Orinda was the last major imperial victory in the post Endor era it's one of my most favorite battles in which Pellaeon proofed that the Empire was still a force to be reckoned with.
It hurts, seeing an Executor Super Star Destroyer with that red rebel symbol. Its like putting blue neon lights and family-stickers on a royals royce.
Cry more.
It might look better if they had painted the hull in standard New Republic colors, bright white-grey with red highlights, but... who has the money and time to completely repaint a 19km long warship? O_O
SD501st they could definitely afford it, but keeping their greatest weapon out of the fight for at least a year in order to apply a purely visual modification doesn't seem worth it
@@Ty-yt3lj gotta look good while crushing imperial dogs
It’s really nice how Pelion used the Trawn Pincer to surprise the new republic with the second super star destroyer
“Thankfully rogue squadron was able to clear out the interdictors” damn new republic survives another battle
They're slicker than a greased Rath'tar
Beaver252 They probably had the smaller Interdictors shown in rebels and not the modified Imperators sometimes shown in the EU
@@sirboomsalot4902 Still makes the whole story kind of dumb

bah dum tss.
I’d like a new trilogy based around the conflict between the imperial remnant and the new republic.
Great battle breakdown and hi this is great battle and I wish this happen in canon. Great video
Imagine losing 6 star destroyers to a squad of fighters
Couldn’t even blame this one on incompetence it’s just bullshit plot armor
This is why wedge antilelekdbs sucks he is just there so a fleet can have plot armor when actual main character are not present.
Holy cheese I had my leopard gecko on my hand 😄😀😀
Im a Rebel and New Republic fanboy, but Pellion was my favorite Impiral, unlike the other greedy Impirals, knew that the time of the Empire had come, and now it was the New Republic turn to rule. Preventing further unnecessary bloodshed. 🙄
Darth Sidious: Thanks for your admiration Lord Sidious. 😆
Darth Sidious: Don't forget who got re-killed by its overconfidence. 😅
What about Admiral Piett??
Joseon: Nah Piett was no fool ither, that reason why he might have acted so incopented at Endor was because he had orders from Palp himself, and you know how he acts when he is dify.
Gargantuan Moist flattery gets you nowhere

* Video can be made whenever you feel like now

* Thanks for doing all these vids Eck, you're so great
AngelBeatz reapers would wreck their shit.
I love how the civil war in legends went from a game of tag to a half traditional war to a war between dark and light side of the force to a fully traditional war.
The New Republic was just overpowered. The various fractions of the Empire had far better Resources but still lose because of either Luke, Rougue Squadron or other high held names...
Well, also the Imperial Remnant was divided, whereas the New Republic was united and so could pick them off one by one. But that's a good thing.
@@danielkorladis7869 Even so it seems always the New Republic won many engagements through the power of bullshit and plotshield.
@@KarolusTemplareV new republic did have alot of fancy ships
@@KarolusTemplareV Yeah the magical squadron of fighters taking out 6 cruisers absolutely ruined this entire battle for me
Fascinating.
Hey!
Greetings,always a pleasure grand admiral.
The EU had a lot of great battles, I hope some of them make it to canon lol
Difficult, if they insist the whole war was completed one year after Endor.
Chris sonofPear - A lot can happen in 1 year. Especially when it spans an entire galaxy
True. We already know several SSDs were destroyed in that time, and others surrendered. Crowded period though.
It already IS canon. No matter what Disney claims :)
can you do a video on how the military, particularly warships, transitioned from the republic to the empire?
The Republic started using Victory class SD's as "Secret weapons" and were deployed at the battle of Coruscant, After order 66, Venators were given a new design (No Republic logo) and the Empire started to create newer designs of War ships (Ones Specifically made as Capital ships), while continuing to use the Republics designs of Smaller ships (Acclamators and Arquitens etc) as support ships.

Have you considered that Eck thinks your idea is trash?
Taseric Have you considered you might be trash? Huh huh!
That's such a funny and hilarious response, i'm sure your parents are VERY proud of you :)
+Taseric Nope
How many rebels could even be on a super star destroyer?
Not that many because of how many rebels there are, and how much space there is in a super star destroyer. Most of it must be empty
I think you underestimate how far the Rebels/New Republic have come since the days of Endor. They're the main Galactic Government at this point, controlling most of the Core Worlds, Inner and Mid Rims, and the Expansion and Colonies regions. That's millions of Star Systems, they probably have enough personnel to fully man a Death Star at this point.
Bruh this is like more than a decade after endor
Ah, the tried-and-true Imperial strategy of deploying super star destroyers with no more than a token support fleet, if any at all. They keep doing it because it had never led them astray before. If fact, it worked so well the New Republic tried the same tactic at the battle of Orinda. Hopefully that went well.
Don't forget to deploy your interdictors in complete isolation so starfighters can pick them off. It's hilarious that they deployed six of them at once so there wouldn't be a single target, but put them all together in one bunch with no support ships anyways.
@@metaouroboros690 Immobilizer 418 is an anti starfighter cruiser
Rogue squadron just straight up have plot armor here
Hello from Orinda, California. 👋 👋 👋
Greetings!
taylor trash hi.
God imagine the long term fighting in order to capture a super star destroyer
The New Republic should have just left the Empire alone.
Not with the Remnant still attacking them. Palleon signing the treaty actually preserved the Imperial Remnant, had he not the entire Empire would be wiped out
The real Orinda is not that far from Skywalker Ranch or from where George Lucas grew up. Coincidence?
Yes
¡¡¡I THINK NOT!!!
The only question I have is regarding Rogue Squadron. How did they manage to take down six cruisers, being only fighters themselves?
Because they are terrible overpowered Marvel-or-DC-comic-like chars, I guess. I mean if you read what Stackpole (and some others) write about them, how they time and again take out huge ships with ease, you get tired really quickly. He even has to "steal" his victories from other books (for example he sized the role the squadron played at Bilbringi up). A reason why I really HATE Rogue Squad. It is also nearly insane how different Star Destroyers are portayed in different books. Timothy Zahn show then as very dangerous ships (both in the Thrawn Trilogy and in the Hand of Trawn books, where a few nearly crush the gathering fleets over the Bothan homeworld). A point of view I would fully support. Other writers make them to not much more than a joke, and the Rogue Squad books are among them.
At least he remembered to mention Assault Frigates helping, that time. Supposedly, two volleys of torpedoes are good for lowering shields...
That is true, but I mean the Star Destroyers are desingned to take on similar huge ships with a lot of firepower head on. No way that they could so easily wrecked by a hand full of fighter (the sucess and Endor against Vaders ship came after the whole rebel fleet had concentrated their fire on it). Sure a ISD is not a super star destroyeer, but he easily could hold its line against a Mon Cal cruiser or a number of small ships.
I think we'd need to ask Jason Fry about this...
If I recall the Crimson Empire sourcebook, Rogue group was expanded to wing size on some occasions.
God bless yall remember Jesus loves you no matter what ❤✝️
Am i the only one who would to see the battle of Orinda in Full Live-action?
Up until the part where two SSD's clashed at each other.
Ahh the Lusankaya. When I first read the original 4 book Rogue Squadron run in paperback way back when, that was such a cool scene where what people thought was a massive underground prison was really a SSD, that then blasted it's way out and left. Just picturing such a scene was awesome. A SSD firing up its engines and blasting through kilometers of buildings and infrastructure.
Pellaeon is such a legend.
Pellaeon IS canon.
Good summary. I'm still really angry about the way Jason Fry created this battle in Essential Guide to Warfare for two reasons. First, he took the gutsy, daring Admiral Areta Bell, from X-Wing: Isard's Revenge, and turned her into a showboating, overcautious idiot who gets her whole command killed. Second, this battle takes place just before the wonderful novel X-Wing: Starfighters of Adumar, and Fry puts the two major commanding figures of that novel, General Wedge Antilles and Admiral Terik Rogriss, as two of the three major super star destroyer commanders in the battle. So they directly faced off in the battle over Orinda. Problem with that? Wedge would feel the loss of Areta Bell under his command acutely, and he would have done research on Rogriss after losing so badly to Rogriss and Pellaeon's fleet. But in the novel, Wedge feels that his fleet career is going well, and though melancholy because of his general loneliness and his breakup with Qui Xux, he doesn't have the kind of darkness that accompanies the kind of defeat he would have just faced given Fry's retcon. Plus, when he discovers Rogriss is his opposite in the diplomatic mission to Adumar, he has to research Rogriss, and never discovers that they were fighting each other at Orinda. (Furthermore, the kind of victory Rogriss had at Orinda isn't congruent with his downward career path as described in Starfighters of Adumar). All in all, the way Fry creates Orinda is fun, but makes zero sense in the context of Starfighters of Adumar, and since Starfighters of Adumar is one of the best books in the Expanded Universe, the retcon is really stupid.
Good points, although I think Orinda was actually months earlier, if that helps (late 12 aby for Orinda, nearly mid 13 aby for Adumar)
Doesn't solve the problem of Wedge not knowing that he fought Rogriss just last year.
Yeah, I think Fry just got too busy there. It adds depth, but unintended, I guess. Rogriss was also supposedly an unremarkable commander.
I mean, he's supposed to basically be Pellaeon without Thrawn - perfectly competent, honorable, believer in the good of the Empire without being warped by direct contact with the more evil commanders/leaders.
I don't think it really adds depth - the death of Admiral Bell actually feels like it removes depth, because 1) it's not consistent with her character, and 2) it removes her from the pool of characters. (I have the same problem with the Black Fleet Crisis itself, since almost every named character except A'baht dies from the Fifth Fleet, so it has basically no impact on the NR military in books set afterwards.)
Now, I'm catch myself motivated to return for the dog outro lol
The days before Eckhart wasn’t an average salty virgin Star Wars hater.
Just how the fuck do you lose 6 star destroyers to one squadron of fighters that makes no sense
Best transforming fighters:
VF-11 thunderbolt from Macross plus vs the Union Flag from Gundam 00 vs the Viking from StarCraft vs the Mecha Tengu from Command and Conquer vs the Legioss from Genesis Climber Mospeda.
How about the mammoth mk2 from command and conquer vs the AT-AT for your next versus match
Hold up, did Captain Pellaeon Do a Thrawn pincer, pulling a SSD out of hyperspace perfectly next to the carrier and the NR's SSD's engines?
How tf did some rebel fighters destroy multiple interdictors? More rebel BS
Plot armor
Legends nonsense at its finest.
-saving ships that guzzle fuel, ammo and manpower like crazy when your stockpiles of all three have been vastly diminished
-losing even one ship means you've lost a sizable percentage of your total firepower and Empire dreadnoughts are ridiculously vulnerable as the Battle of Endor showed. Oh, and you can't replace any of them because you have no means and resources of building such ships
-those ships were already a waste of resources back in the civil war. Better have their resource's worth of smaller ships which gives you more flexibility
Imagine if Imperial Japan at the end of WW2 had ended up in the "remnant" role and had decided to save the Yamato instead of anything else. Yeah, they'd have collapsed fast.
I think the Battle of Jakku is still cooler in its own right than any one of these battles, but I don't like the larger canon GCW lore, with the war ending just one year after Endor.
I love your outro. Makes me smile every time. The pup's look of recognition right before the "hand wrestling" starts is hilarious and adorable.
wait, how was the battle of orinda a victory? They lost 6 whole interdictors and only destroyed one ship! Maybe if Pellaeon had actually protected them then they could have destroyed the Republic SSD and kept the interdictors
Come one, one fighter squadron destroyed 6 interdictor cruisers
SW plot armor is fucking annoying, cheap and repetitive.
Me at 3:03: ok new republic executor came to fight executor
Me at 3:32: WHAT IS THAT IS THAT ECLIPSE?!?!?!
by the time the old man of the empire was in command it was too little too late to make a difference in wining the war but his action led to the empire not being totally destroyed and eventually like a phoenix rising again from the ashes ( at least in legends)
It wasn't until The Final Imperial Push failed that the Empire couldn't win.
This is honestly one of the best star wars channels on youtube......like just ugh....i love you and your channel!!!!
tbh, I prefer the new canon over the Expanded Universe in the era after the Original trilogy
But how could just one squadron (even when its the rouges) destroy 6 Interdictors?
Poor Pellaeon, always the dutiful soldier and would have been a fantastic leader but was lost in the shadows of more powerful individuals.
I wish they added more to this campaign as it was epic and love to see more
Someone’s got to draw those two superstar destroyer’s and maybe one day make a book about the Orinda campaign.
You should do the new republic’s battle for coruscant, like if you agree
Pelleon was such an suave and intelligent man.
Krytonian, Covenant, Dune and Star Wars technology compared
I think this is a great case of the New Republic having Imperial style over confidence.
So.... Are we not going to mention that cute doggo at the end ?
What’s so civil about war anyways?
Pallaeon using his best friend's favorite weapon, the Interdictor brings a smile to my face. He was paying attention
69th dislike
(the videos great, had to do it)
The empire feels more like the underdog in the rebellion then the rebels. The new republic/ rebels always seem to win
Next to Thrawn, Pellaeon is probably the smartest imperial leader. He knew when to admit defeat.
Never forget how many people's lives were doomed and taken away.
I prefer the battle of Jakku
3:30 pelleon really did learn a lot from the time serving under thrawn
(33th request) 1 CAS Class Assault Carrier with 4 CSS Class Battlecruisers and 4 SDV-class heavy corvettes VS 1 Bellator Class Super Star Destroyer (yes i look it up and the Bellator Class has Fighters about 100 of them) 4 Imperial 2 class Star Destroyers and 4 Dreadnought Class Heavy cruisers (theses ships use to be Victory 2 class Star Destroyers but that would give the Empire too much an edge in the battle so i made them Dreadnought class Heavy cruisers instated too make it equal in a way)
Always wondered what this picture was all about.
Love your work Eckhart!

What happened after endor 45
#Happy4thofJULY!!!! What better a way to celebrate this very American holiday than breaking down a battle with a metric crapton of explosions.
RIP Areta Bell, captain of the Endurance class star destroyer Endurance. May she never be forgotten
Oh legends is so much juicier.
What kind of ship was the dominion?
People aren't quite sure, but I'm guessing an Executor. The Megador seems smaller, maybe a Mandator?
Chris sonofPear maybe it’s a Bellator
Possible. The Megador was said to have 16 engines though, and be 'five times stronger than an Imperial Star Destroyer' (pretty conservative figures, it seems)
Really you have to wonder what's the point of building those expansive star destroyer anyway when they can be sunk by a bunch of fighters anyway. Seriously just build nothing but carriers and like millions of fighters, and you win every engagement I promise.
...
The problem is that,If your TIE fighters get shredded then your carriers pretty much become sitting ducks.
The Imperial Navy had a lot of problems but I don't really think switching to a Carrier focused doctrine would fix many of them
Imagine what would have happened if the Empire consolidated under Pellaeon immediately after Thrawn's death. They might have had a chance...
Can you do more halo vs star wars???????? I would love that. Ex. Elites vs jedi , x wing vs falcon/ halo reach , spartan cartor vs a death trooper. Please continue doing halo vs star wars please
I don't even know that the rebels had those super star DD 🤣
They captured Lusankya in the X-Wing novels. Rather ingenious tactics too. Rogue Squadron had called in some favors with a shit load of transports and gotten their hands on loads of missile launchers. They slaved the launchers together to fire on a single target and managed to overwhelm Lusankya's defenses (she was by herself and her commander had become incredibly unhinged). Lusankya took a heavy beating from the massive barrage of missiles and once disabled, her new acting captain surrendered rather than fight to the death. The New Republic took possession of Lusankya and spent years repairing and refitting her in secret to serve as a flagship for their fleet.
If you want to read it for yourself, it happens in book 4 of the X-Wing novels: The Bacta War (though I strongly recommend just starting from the beginning)
Imperium of Man vs the Forerunner empire.
(Warhammer 40k vs Halo)
Never going to give up.
I had that book right next to me a few hours ago lol

You should have made two video, you may confuse people with those two different campaigns that needed more details to be understood clearly.
If the Arbiter or Master Chief had an Energy Sword could they beat a Jedi?
Admiral Pellaeon always reminds me of admiral Yamamoto
