Dakota Keller why he was going into battle that gonk droid alone destroyed 17 star destroyers within two seconds of landing on the planet...never underestimate the power of the gonk side
Wise One1494 Facts, like having us provide fighter support in the orbit. Because there was a huge fleet battle between 3 Starhawks(which we have no yet seen) and an SSD with several star destroyers. That would have been epic battle to be apart of!
Dude, I can't tell you how many times while doing this campaign I just kept the joystick pushed forward while looking down at my phone or something, and found that I was still on the correct path when I looked back. This thing felt more like an extremely railroaded RPG than an actual FPS campaign.
What happened to the supposedly canon version of this battle where the remaining Star Destroyers were in formation around the planet protecting the last Super Star Destroyer, Ravager, and opening a hole every once in awhile so the Ravager could unleash its payload? The imperial fleet is just scattered around in all these cutscenes.
Like people said, this is after the Ravager's gone down. It would have made a much cooler section if you could have been one of the X-wings that helped take out the Ravager's engines, but this is EA after all.
True, his the only New Character has good personality, but it will be so cool if Shriv has a backstory like the characters at KOTOR that will be amazing
Andrew Li Even better, on the Jakku GA map you try to give time to two restistance fighters who escort the droid over a hidden path. It then gets taken by either the Resistance or the First Order.
Iden is stupid, " In a fight this size its every one for themselves " No ina fight that large it is the side with superior coordination and support for each other that ensures victory
Stephen Jackson Fair point but Voltaire never saw a battlefield, drew up operational battlefield strategies, or even got close to anything involving war. He also spoke out against the Christian faith fervently. I would either quoted Descartes or Neitzsche.

Which gets chaotic once the enemy starts jamming your signals and destroying formations. Once the capital ships are engaged in one on one combat it's chaos. Look at the battle of Coruscant - pure Chaos
I’m seeing a lot of confusion, so here’s what I know the empire had at Jakku A massive amount of star destroyers (we don’t have an exact amount but it’s not 25 thousand like some people are saying) 1 Super star destroyer A shit ton of TIE fighters, interceptors and bombers, A few squads of TIE strikers At least 1 TIE defender 20 gunboats A massive amount of stormtroopers, sand troopers, scout troopers and riot troopers Multiple demolitions troopers Jumptrooper squads Shock troopers Heavy assault troopers At least 1 royal guard Multiple AT ATs (One names Hellhound 2, which became reys home in the force awakens) Speeder bikes AT STs Probably ITTs
Nice list! The novel Lost Stars indicates they had Raider Corvettes (pg. 507,) and at least one Immobilizer 418 Cruiser was present (from the reference book "On the Front Lines.")
For some context with the defender, the only proof we have they were there is a piece of canonical artwork showing a crashed defender at the graveyard of giants
This Mission makes absolutely no sense why would you want to blow up a ship that's already crashed? And wouldn't it have been easier to destroy those Imperial Walkers with Xwing fighters while in the air?
Toxic ThunderBuns as far as the crashed destroyer from what I can tell from the dialogue they were suppose to be blowing up intact bombers on the ship I know they didn't show any and i agree that doesn't make sense.
Landon From School ya I just mean gameplay wise, I feel like we’re flying at 25 mph, when in the movies it feels like their going much faster off the back
@@themightykv-5410 Tie fighters and X-wings have a max speed atleast the speed of sound in atmosphere that they can maintain easily, they all look SUPER slow however in here.
Excuse me the corvettes and frigates are fast, the cruisers are holding positions Edit: sorry i thought you meant the big ships, you mean the fighters when you’re flying
Vinicius Domenighi many Imperial Star destroyers were destroyed before the battle even started. But you could be right since the Empire would still be constructing them.
Just imagine if they had more than just isds there like victory stardestroyers would have been a good support ship for the isds because the had lots of middles in the mk1 version and in the mk 2 the had lots of turbo lasers
+Zerebrat Eightyseven lol every time they unveil an interdictor it gets destroyed almost immediately just like American flamethrowers in Vietnam. I bet the Empire just gave up making them. But yeah, interdictors are ridiculously underused in new Star Wars media.
When i was 14, in 1977 and saw Star Wars, i would have died to interact with the movie like this. When you left the theater, all we had were a few film mags with still shots,, and some artist renderings. the Dark Ages had nothing on us
Looking back at this after reading Victory’s Price, it perfectly captures the complete chaos of the battle, albeit lacking the diversity in ship classes
lol yeah... StarWars doesnt always make sense. what cannot be solved with magic force powers can be solved with a seemingly invincible protagonists. No, getting out of your fighter craft to shoot down massive ground vehicles doesnt make a lot of sense (just like using tow cables to trip giant death machines) but it sure does make for some good illogical viewing.
I think he meant "just shoot the AT-ATs with your X-wing." AT-ATs are good against speeders or Repulsortanks. Starfighter weapons would rip right through them, especially when aimed at the neck joint.
Except they had the Super Star Destroyer _Ravager_ with some 30 to 40 Regular Destroyers. If EA showed us the whole battle with "Aftermath : Empire's End" as a support, this mission would've been way better.
Big difference between the two. At D-Day the allies had around 175,000 soldiers, 200 tanks, 9500 planes, 7 battleships, 22 cruisers and 139 destroyers.The Germans had 30000 men, 200 tanks and 815 planes. By the battle of Berlin the Allies had shipped around 35000 tanks over as well as hundreds of thousands of troops - and their numbers were boosted by the Russians coming from the east , while the Germans were unable to replace their losses. At Endor the rebels had 12 cruisers and the Empire 'over 25000 Star Destroyers' of which 27 participated in the battle. By Jakku had had designed a battleship that could take on *a* Star Destroyer (Starhawk class) - and had build THREE of them. Compare the Empire that still had 1.8 million TIE fighters in the bays of its star destroyers alone, not counting those on bases and other ships. As many little battles and skirmishes that took place and destroyed a fair few destroyers, there is still nothing to account for the way they defeated 25000 destroyers and 1800000 fighters with their 3 battleships and around 50 cruisers.
All I am saying is this: Very Convenient Ladders coming off those X-Wings.. where the fuck they come from? they are not there when they take off or land, but they are there when Iden breaches her cockpit
Feels kind underwhelming, also i feel like they should have taken the Republic Commando approach to deploying those charges instead of pressing and holding to go into scriped animation you cant break. Granted RC was push and hold too but it felt more... involved to me
Played through this and it was amazing as well as the DLC. I feel like bringing the Battle of Jakku to screen would somehow save the prequels just a bit. Imagine a Starhawk in action.
So a year after endor and the empire (a vast galactic empire) has completely fallen. This is the problem with the new cannon it is so utterly unbelievable. I’m mean Rome endured for a thousand years after the fall of Rome to the goths. But the empire falls in a year. Come on
This has always bothered me however, I get it, Star Wars is made for children. Looking at you Raven Blood. Anyway if you want an adult's take on it check out Eckhart's Ladder channel. He's done a part 1 and 2, What Would Have REALLY Happened After Endor.
'New Cannon' lol Dude, By Jedi, the Rebel Alliance was as big as the CIS and had a BIGGER (though not as well equipped) fleet than the Empire. Once Sidious bought it, what was left of Imperial High Command descended into infighting while worlds that had previously remained under Imperial control (including Coruscant itself) rose up in open revolt. A year on and The Empire was basically just Jakku and a few scattered bases in the Outer Rim.
robertofulton in the Star Wars universe there's sound in space, ships that have absolutely no aerodynamics but can still fly in atmosphere, swords made out of lasers and you're complaining about the new canon because it's unrealistic that the Galactic Empire fell in a year?
TOBLERONE TUBE yep. The laser swords and sound in space I don’t really care too much about. Sound in space is unrealistic but it’s also pretty common in sci-fi. As for laser swords, it is what it is. But the point is the empire was a huge threat that got emasculated in a year. In the legends series it took twenty five years to bring it to its knees, and it fought back on a couple of occasions. It’s just felt too easy and simple, a vast fanatically loyal fleet fell apart in a year. Just doesn’t make much sense to me.
This is how you know all these TH-camrs are playing this campaign on easy. When you play on medium or hard all the Stormtroopers immediately rush you and flood you.
I can take The Last Jedi as canon as big as a punch to the gut as it is. But I however, do NOT, I do NOT, except that the Alliance’s greatest admiral died offscreen from a random TIE fighter that I’m pretty sure get’s blown up while retreating.
I see a lot of hate in the comments. Me, I'm just glad we get to finally see part of the battle that sealed the empire's fate. Hopefully we'll be able to actually see more of this fight instead of having to read it from the books
It would be nice if the battle seen here even correlated to the books besides that one Starhawk, or if they spent a couple dollars and threw in a couple other models. The Empire literally only has ISDs not even the Arquintens made it in here :(
Battlefront 2015 jakku: sky is literally covered in ships with capital ships constantly crashing while a planet wide ground battle erupts. Entire planet is basically the battlefield. Battlefront 2017 jakku: handful of ships fight in area of the sky
BF2 was much more detailed. If you actually paid attention and looked beyond your Doritos, you’d see hundreds of dogfights throughout the skybox. BF1 was literally just a bunch of birds with red and green glowsticks. Not to mention here we even had cruisers and capital ships pass by us as we were flying, and had awesome cinematics and dialogue/easter eggs. Constant criticism from Star Wars “fans” like you is why we don’t get any nice things.
@@bruh-fw7op I heard so many cool things just flying around! I heard some people mention Wedge and Snap... so was a 7-year old flying a starfighter in the Battle of Jakku?
@@christianmilam3295 Are you referring to the 7 year old as Snap? Because Wedge is well within his adult years at this point. He was in his late teens/early 20s in Rebels, this takes place many years after that.
TheBigExclusive Some were taken by They're Captains and Admirals to be pirate ships, some were surrenders to the NR, some were just abandoned, many were destroyed, the other few thousands we have no idea. Which is why it doesnt make sense that the Empire collapsed in only a year
This is also late in the Battle, after (Spoilers for the last book of the Aftermath Trilogy, Empire's End) the Ravager was taken down, and the Imperial space defense fell apart. Not to mention, this is only one small part of a giant battle that spans the entire planet, and the airspace around it.
This level should've been a 2 part level. The first part being an intense space battle where you're engaging enemy star fighters and escorting bombers like the naboo level. Then part 2 would be fighting on the ground through ship wreckage and chaotic remains and survivors
"Whole Imperial fleet," riiiight. One of many things I'm looking forward to with the upcoming New Republic-era shows is seeing a Star Destroyer show up and the subsequent look on the faces of any NR personnel nearby. Bonus points if it has a chimera painted on the underside...
Turbolaser cannons need fuel to fire. Fuel...isn’t an infinite resource. They need to strategise their shots so that they use as little fuel as possible while inflicting the most damage as possible.
Brandon Huggins the walkers we see in rouge one and the walkers we see here are two completely different things. The AT-CTs which we see in rouge one have far less armour than the standard AT-AT which we see here mainly because the AT-CT were used more for cargo transportation while the AT-AT is meant for combat
@@jemert96 Graphics? Fuck outta here this game has literally the best graphics of this generation. Cinematics were amazing and so was gameplay. Don’t be such a buzzkill and appreciate things.
"Imperial walkers are closing on our position!" "Ok, let us get out of our X-Wings and fight them with blaster pistols!" Shriv: "Can I submit my resignation letter now?"
Honestly makes me feel sad about the empire. It being my favorite faction in all of Star Wars and they just get absolutely destroyed. I prefer the legends where they sign a piece and the galaxy is sorta split in two. It reminds me how it was for the old republic and Sith empire
If you want a better sense of how big the battle of jakku was, just play the multiplayer map in 2015 battlefront for the ground and just look in the sky to get the true scale of the space battle
The WHOLE Imperial fleet is there? Considering the Empire had thousands of Imperial Class Star Destroyers spread through the galaxy, that's a bold statement.

I’m seeing a lot of confusion, so here’s what I know the empire had at Jakku
A massive amount of star destroyers (we don’t have an exact amount but it’s not 25 thousand like some people are saying)
1 Super star destroyer
A shit ton of TIE fighters, interceptors and bombers,
A few squads of TIE strikers
At least 1 TIE defender
20 gunboats
A massive amount of stormtroopers, sand troopers, scout troopers and riot troopers
Multiple demolitions troopers
Jumptrooper squads
Shock troopers
Heavy assault troopers
At least 1 royal guard
Multiple AT ATs (One names Hellhound 2, which became reys home in the force awakens)
Speeder bikes
AT STs
Probably ITTs
Nice list!
The novel Lost Stars indicates they had Raider Corvettes (pg. 507,) and at least one Immobilizer 418 Cruiser was present (from the reference book "On the Front Lines.")
The reason why they lost:
The Rebels had Gonk Droid
Hydra Dude I thought There would be Light Cruisers In this battle
Nova Typhoon if there were TIE defenders present I’m sure there were light cruisers. There’s just not confirmation.

Yeah, they blew up AT walkers with X-wings and a U-wing handily in Rogue One, which takes place well before this.
Those are AT transport walkers and have much less armor than the normal AT-AT's
And less firepower.
Grindstone those were not at at walkers in rouge one those were at act cargo walkers
Soooooo the "whole imperial fleet" is 4 Star Destroyers?

"Play from the Imperial point of view" My ass. Greatest lie EA ever told.
You for A imperial point of view. But you forget the Empire was evil.
@@godzillavkk So?
@@Chandersson25 So, the imperial pov is tyrannical, hateful, and wrong.
@@godzillavkk And?
@@Chandersson25 So, you wouldn't want to play from a Nazi pov would you? Unless you're a neo nazi.
A movie of this battle would be epic!
I see a lot of hate in the comments. Me, I'm just glad we get to finally see part of the battle that sealed the empire's fate. Hopefully we'll be able to actually see more of this fight instead of having to read it from the books
lucas lucas - the battle doesn't even make sense
It would be nice if the battle seen here even correlated to the books besides that one Starhawk, or if they spent a couple dollars and threw in a couple other models. The Empire literally only has ISDs not even the Arquintens made it in here :(
I'd say the reason for that is probably because we haven't gotten the entire story yet, but idk
lucas lucas I think they're pretty much done telling the story about Jakku, I doubt we'll see anything else.
tubegut66 I don't think it's supposed to
this feels more star wars than the sequels.
I disagree.
Was that the Gonk Droid from the jakku map online?
3:22 That's an interesting progress of an old Star Wars tradition.
0:50 Oh look, Star Wars: Rebels' favorite alternative to swearing made it into a game.
Sarah Tilgner That’s just a word Star Wars uses, idiot. Rouge one, this game, rebels, etc.
I actually liked that, idk if it's a reference to rebels but
I would so love for a Star Wars movie just about the Battle of Jakku honestly.
yeah one that would take place before the force awakens the star destroyer that rey was scavenging at the beginning.
@@willhuey4462 yeah, the Battle of Jakku happened in 5 ABY, which was 1 year after ROTJ.
Gonk
I like very few things about this game. But Shriv is definitely one of them.
Well that... ended abruptly
Yeah a weird way to start leading into the dlc
Tobito The main campaign wasn't even over yet.
*Two x wings park outside the hangar which tie bombers are constantly taking off and landing from* "They don't know we're here"
3:10 my question is Where does that ladder come from ??? same thing in empirestrikesback it just appears
That, my friend... Is the power of the force
Battlefront 2015 jakku: sky is literally covered in ships with capital ships constantly crashing while a planet wide ground battle erupts. Entire planet is basically the battlefield.
Battlefront 2017 jakku: handful of ships fight in area of the sky
BF2 was much more detailed. If you actually paid attention and looked beyond your Doritos, you’d see hundreds of dogfights throughout the skybox. BF1 was literally just a bunch of birds with red and green glowsticks.
Not to mention here we even had cruisers and capital ships pass by us as we were flying, and had awesome cinematics and dialogue/easter eggs.
Constant criticism from Star Wars “fans” like you is why we don’t get any nice things.
@@bruh-fw7op I heard so many cool things just flying around! I heard some people mention Wedge and Snap... so was a 7-year old flying a starfighter in the Battle of Jakku?
@@christianmilam3295 Are you referring to the 7 year old as Snap? Because Wedge is well within his adult years at this point. He was in his late teens/early 20s in Rebels, this takes place many years after that.
@@bruh-fw7op Yeah
i wish the last jedi is like this. it woudve get a good rate
I miss the skybox literally being a swarm of X wings and Ties
R.i.p. Gonk droid ;-;
Good ol Graveyard of Giants! BF II needed that version of Jakku from the first game in its playlists
Wait...doesn't the Empire have like 30,000 Star Destroyers? Why is there only a handful here? Where are the rest?
TheBigExclusive Some were taken by They're Captains and Admirals to be pirate ships, some were surrenders to the NR, some were just abandoned, many were destroyed, the other few thousands we have no idea. Which is why it doesnt make sense that the Empire collapsed in only a year
This is also late in the Battle, after (Spoilers for the last book of the Aftermath Trilogy, Empire's End) the Ravager was taken down, and the Imperial space defense fell apart. Not to mention, this is only one small part of a giant battle that spans the entire planet, and the airspace around it.
a lot of them is in space
This level should've been a 2 part level. The first part being an intense space battle where you're engaging enemy star fighters and escorting bombers like the naboo level. Then part 2 would be fighting on the ground through ship wreckage and chaotic remains and survivors
Behold...”THE IMPERIAL FLEET” ...
It's nice that they acknowledge the new republic now like they did in the force awakens
I thought we would see more imperial Perspective but I was wrong
While it was short, I did absolutely love the first few missions, especially on Fondor and the MC80. You really felt like Special Forces.
"Whole Imperial fleet," riiiight. One of many things I'm looking forward to with the upcoming New Republic-era shows is seeing a Star Destroyer show up and the subsequent look on the faces of any NR personnel nearby. Bonus points if it has a chimera painted on the underside...
How the hell do the Mon cal and ISD IIs fire only a couple of Turbolaser shots every second
Turbolaser cannons need fuel to fire. Fuel...isn’t an infinite resource. They need to strategise their shots so that they use as little fuel as possible while inflicting the most damage as possible.
Remember this is the perspective of inferno squad during the battle of Jakku, there’s also the aftermath trilogy and lost star novel/manga
So the part with the AT-AT walkers, they can be killed with the X-Wing. Like sure land in front of those and take them on foot.
Brandon Huggins the walkers we see in rouge one and the walkers we see here are two completely different things. The AT-CTs which we see in rouge one have far less armour than the standard AT-AT which we see here mainly because the AT-CT were used more for cargo transportation while the AT-AT is meant for combat
Can't use an orbital strike while flying
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing the alarm with the music!!!!!!
Karabast!
1:51 that poor gonk droid screaming for help the only way it knows how
17:06 Says, “Today, the Empire dies!” -Republic fleet gets destroyed-
Shriv just awkwardly standing there 😂😂😂
Good story
Said no one ever.
Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade until today
Cold Flame ummm no
Joaquin Alvarez agree to disagree
Cold Flame
I also liked it. :)
Especially missions like this with *multiple* allies and enemies in one big battle.
is it just me Or That The Lightspeed Jump Is a Kickass
this looks horrible. how were the originals on xbox so much better?
BURNING CHROME What i liked about the singleplayer of the originals was that it made you feel like an ordinary solider
Yeah it has the same graphics as a fucking Harry Potter game
Being made in 2005 will do that for a game, holds up pretty well though.
@@jemert96 Graphics? Fuck outta here this game has literally the best graphics of this generation. Cinematics were amazing and so was gameplay. Don’t be such a buzzkill and appreciate things.
Even Iden Versio's story is better than the entire Sequels.
Just love seeing those ships come out of hyperspace.
I love how she gets nicer to her droid the longer they're rebels.
Good feels good. I'm dissapointed that Imperial fans can't see the bigger picture.
At the moment of impact, nothing should've been left: the blast covered a whole mountain range. A real hunk of geography.
"Imperial walkers are closing on our position!"
"Ok, let us get out of our X-Wings and fight them with blaster pistols!"
Shriv: "Can I submit my resignation letter now?"
"That's beautiful! Is this what happiness feels like"?
nice of the Empire to send someone out to put those ladders on their X-Wings. be difficult to do it from the cockpit 🐷
2:28 the Eviscerator is just drop dead gorgeous 🥺🥰
Honestly makes me feel sad about the empire. It being my favorite faction in all of Star Wars and they just get absolutely destroyed. I prefer the legends where they sign a piece and the galaxy is sorta split in two. It reminds me how it was for the old republic and Sith empire
0:31 0:34 - Who *didn't* love that hyperspace scene?
Very cool and I wish this was part of a Star Wars movie that should be made called Star Wars the wars revolution
Oh man, to have this as a set piece for Star Wars: Squadrons
If you want a better sense of how big the battle of jakku was, just play the multiplayer map in 2015 battlefront for the ground and just look in the sky to get the true scale of the space battle
i mainlyn play war thunder, and after watching this, every time they go strait up i expect a stall message
When you market your entire campaign to be about it being in the perspective of the enemy, only to change to the good guys three missions in
The WHOLE Imperial fleet is there? Considering the Empire had thousands of Imperial Class Star Destroyers spread through the galaxy, that's a bold statement.
Palpating had a plan to destroy most of the empire in the case of his death
I wish they made another star wars film like rogue one, where it shows how the galactic civil war ended and shows this battle
3:21 OMG!!! HIs head!!! He might some evil dark sith Lord!!!
There needs to be a movie set between episode 6 & 7 that could be about the battle of jakku, I think that would be super cool
Shriv is basically Freisinger if he was forced by the game to be a good guy and then turned into an alien, so much for Projekt Phoenix!
Gonk's MOS 6501 CPU made it to a galaxy real close, spreading BASIC commands not that long ago
Shriv is easily the best character
