Sorry about the delay - the video was mostly 3d and took forever to render. Rendering is a funny process in general. You mistype one letter and then have to render a chunk of the video to fix it and so on and so forth, until the video timeline looks like a gleeman's cloak, if you know what I mean. Regardless, sleep is for the weak and next week we will return to our Saturday schedule. Please let us know what you think about this video - we are hardly perfect, but are open to criticism and will do our best to improve with each video. Star Wars is not an easy universe to cover as the lore is really expansive and you got to dive into various media to get the script done. We are planning to cover both the Canon and Legend timelines in our Star Wars videos, but this series will be exclusively using the Canon timeline. We are also eager to hear which fantasy and sci-fi universes you want to be covered in the future. Thanks for watching :-)
First of all, nice work guys! Just a question. In Star wars, what is going to be your main source? I mean, It seems you are using the rebels series, but you will follow any particular films, books, comic or series? Whatever you use is ok, I dont know what is canon in Star Wars universe with so many media production :)
Initial idea was to spend a few episodes, but there is so much stuff to cover and so many battles in this series alone, we decided to move on quickly. Glad you liked it!
20:26 "the details are lost" I like this way of saying "this part hasn't yet been cleared out in the franchise" treating it like an actual piece of ancient historical event nice touch
Indeed! For instance Battle of Jakku is now covered in 3 different books and a bunch of other places. They always add details, making it a historical experience!
this looked way different in the rebels. glad we now can have a wide overview of the strategic points like this. hope Disney recognizes this as an official extended guide
Yeah, the thing is, Rebels is a story of one rebel cell, more or less, while we are trying to tell the story of the entire Rebellion. I guess, it is like covering Napoleonic Wars. War and Peace is great, but when you are making a video on the Napoleonic Wars, you focus on Napoloen and other generals/leaders and not Pyotr Bezukhov.
@@WizardsandWarriors true. by different, I meant as in "different perspective" kind of different. not inaccuracy by any means. anyway, that was a great job, guys. can't wait to see your clone wars series.
Let's all hope big D. does in fact NOT get wind of this channel, since they are known to shut down anyone who dares using their content in any way they see either as too good, or not shining enough positive light on their new canon...
I really love how well crafted Constantine's incompetence is. It's actually a really good "villain is really stupid" moment cause that kind of stuff happened throughout all of history. X general gets overconfident and commits too hard or pushes too far and ends up losing the battle. Great video!
Except they didn't lose, the Rebels only escaped with not even a merger of 3 corvettes a few fighters and the Ghost. This was way more devastating than Hoth and no one has the guts to admit it.
@@memecliparchives2254 yeah, except the victory would’ve been much more crushing had konstantine not been an ass. Interdictor class SDs were not common by any means, and losing both was a huge blow to the seventh fleet.
For the record, if the emperor had listened to Thrawn and built the TIE Defenders instead of the Death Star, the Empire would have won. The Rebel Alliance specialized in what were effectively lightning fast cavalry attacks in fighters and small frigates. Going up against the average TIE fighter was basically no challenge for most rebels because they had superior ships and frequently, better pilots. This was due to the Empire's philosophy of "just throw a bunch of crap at the problem it will work eventually". The TIE Defender was a paradigm shift, probably one of the most overpowered fighters ever constructed. Every time the rebels went up against one, they had losses. Imagine the empire with squadrons of TIE Defenders on each Star Destroyer and at each military base.. the rebels would have been toast.
Yes, probably. Thrawn understood strategy, Tarkin was delusional, and the lore shows that clearly. However, there were also political reasons why the Defender program never panned out. We might cover it in the future!
Consider though, without the consolidation of power that was the Deathstar, the Emperor could never hope to retain centralized control of a galaxy sized civilization. He would either have to delegate significant authority to subordinate military leaders like Thrawn and Tarkin, which likely would lead to ever increasing factionalism and infighting (The reason behind the downfall of the ancient Sith empire), or continue allowing the Senate to function as part of the government, which would serve as a rather large check to his power.
@@comentnine1574 Um I think the Defender was better in every way to the X-wing. Higher speed & maneuverability, equal shields & firepower if not stronger, & both had hyperdrives. The only weakness was cost, limited cockpit view & still no life support system.
A magnificent beginning to your covering of the Galactic Civil War and the rest of the Star Wars universe! I hope you're also going to cover Legends/Original EU conflicts in the future. I would absolutely love to see videos covering the collapse of the Galactic Empire and the Rise of the Imperial Warlords. I always got a kick telling my history savvy friends how after the Return of the Jedi, it basically became the War of Alexander's Successors on a galaxy-wide scale.
@@WizardsandWarriors May I suggest you put in the description for the Star Wars related stuff which timeline you're talking about. A lot of fans love Legends/EU but hate Disney Wars with a unbridled passion like myself. Sadly there are some who love the Disney Wars stuff though I have no idea why since that timeline makes NO sense whatsoever!
@@brandon074 I agree that Disney Star Wars isn’t the best as the empire collapsing after just 1 year after Endor makes absolutely no sense but I do feel as if there are SOME aspects of the new canon which raise my hopes. After the mandalorian introduced us to Gideons remnant im hoping that they will flesh out those stories and add some more warlords in.
This is quickly shaping up into everything I'd hoped it would be. I have two suggestions for making it even better: #1: Make it clear from the very beginning what forces will be involved in the battle- including the surprise forces (like the Force-sensitive Loth-Wolves and the space-whale creatures). Make sure we are aware of them and that they are waiting on the side of the gaming board, even if they are not yet in play. #2: When special units with magical abilities (like Jedi and Sith) are in play, make it clear from the beginning what powers they have at their disposal that can change the course of the battle. Both sides' ability to use hyperspace to arrive and retreat; Thrawn's preternatural strategic genius and his ability to use interdictors to block hyperspace lanes; Ezra Bridger's and Caleb Dume's precognition, etc. In other words, clearly establish the capabilities of both sides first before showing how the sides use them and counter them. don't let those abilities just appear out of thin air for the sake of driving the narrative toward its conclusion.
I would wish for a slight overhaul of the galactic map. Especially the core of the galaxy was something I would wish to be implemented more graphically as to be a better focus point for orientation. And maybe to have the most prominent hyperspace lanes marked so that one can better see which planets are strategically located :) But generally great video, I look forward to all new videos on the channel 👍🏻
@@antarescitizen And the good old Essential Atlas, still a mostly accurate book for lanes and planet placements (other than say, Scipio and a few exceptions)
I'm hoping you cover some of the wars in the expanded universe as well. The Vong War, The Great Sith War, The Mandalorian Wars and a lot more. Looking forward to your work
First part of the video covered a great space battle involving great tactics. Just like how battles are won and lost in reality. The second part basically had magic dogs and space whales pop up and save the day. It's almost like the writers had to come up with something to counter Thrawns immense tactical acumen, and gave in...
As a fan of both star ears and your channel. This was phenomenal. The models of the space battle and city especially. I don't know if you were already a star wars fan or not, but your coverage of the Lothal campaign was flawless
@@TheHawkeye0725 moat of canon is perfectly fine or at least no worse than legends, which had plenty of stinkers of its own. Its only really the screw ups of the sequels that have given it a bad name
Great job! If I may, I hope for LOTR you begin a series on the War of the Jewels so you can have a guide for new fans of the world in timeline order. This also would tie in nicely with the upcoming show. For Star Wars, finishing up the Galactic Civil War is a good idea. I would love videos on Star Trek, Wheel of Time, A Song of Ice and Fire (the dance of the dragons seems prudent), and Witcher which are all relevant right now.
This is exactly what I was hoping for!! Great work, love the fleet combat animations! And on a side note, thank you so much for keeping the propper name of Korriban on the map (not the nonsense of big D. renaming it to Moraband in order to cover up their inconsistent story writing)
Thanks for watching! I don't remember the details, but wasn't "Moraband" Lucas' idea? I thought the first 6 seasons of the Clone Wars were written under his tutelage, and Disney mostly had control over the 7th
@@WizardsandWarriors Uhm, you got me there... not sure. The canon explanation apparently is that the Emperor deliberately changed the name to hide the fact that this planet is the ancient Sith homeworld now tomb world. I always thought it was a case of lazy writing... Also a followup question: Did you use a game for the Fleet Combat? If not and you guys did all the models from scratch... One massive kudos to you! You absolutely nailed the details!
I love the 3d models for the Battle for Attolon. That was amazing. You perfectly captured the complexities of that battle. How the Rebels were forced into open battle, how they conducted their strategy. I love the show, but it's fun to see what's happening during that battle from this perspective. I hope you cover the Clone Wars too.
I remember every scene from the series at every moment of the episode. I was like "oh I remember it's in season 3" or "oh and this is when [this thing] happened in season 4!". It's so interesting to see it from a "larger scale" perspective. Great work! Can't wait for episode 2!
This video was incredible. As a life long Star Wars, I absolutely loved it. Everything about it was great, from the unique storytelling style to the art (especially in the battle scenes). I can’t wait for more
If you ever did this for like every battle in Star Wars (or even just most of them) you would be a literal hero to all star wars mega-nerds. It looks amazing, the individual battles are my favorite part of this video over the large galaxy-wide map.
If there were TH-cam Emmy's, y'all should be the clear winners! Absolutely love all of the content. As a diehard LOTR and Star Wars fan, this is just what I needed to finish off 2021! Thank you!
How good these are becoming wizards and warriors I think should at one point do a series on battles from the Mass Effect lore like the Rachni wars, the Krogan rebellions and liberation of Shanxi or even theatres in the Reaper war.
Big Star Wars fan, and fan of the channel for quote some time now so I'm very excited to see this series! I'm glad you pointed out the reasoning behind Mon Mothma's decision to not send help at Atollon. I think it's easy for people to see her in a bad light for that decision, Thrawn specifically wanted to draw out as many Rebels as he could, and exposing the entire Rebellion prematurely would have been a massive failure for her.
i loved the first video and love the tolkien universe, but this one just knocked it out of the park. can’t wait to see what else this channel is capable of producing about the star wars universe
As for starwars, I highly recommend going with legends materials. There's ALOT more to draw from. And in my opinion generally better written than anything that's "canon" from Disney.
This was wonderful to watch. Excellent selection of events, as well; with how much Star Wars material there is to cover, this honestly felt like a very natural place to start, as the rest of the series will feel like "an overall examination of the Galactic Civil War" rather than "let's break down the movies. Also, my hat is off to the artist and animators. The style looks great, and leaves room to blend the CGI style of the show with other mediums in star wars (live action, comics, and books). Great job by everyone involved!
This was excellent; very clear and informative. I was slightly surprised that Enfyst Nest and the Savareen insurgents didn't get a mention, but then again, we don't know much about them or their role (if any) in the formation of the Rebel Alliance. Well done, folks. I'll look forward to the next one.
those three dee rendering were aaaawesomeeeee! Much better battle overview than Anything they ever were able to show in the films. keep up the excellent work guys
It’s so cool to the characters from the show but in the context of a history video. It puts the events into perspective and gives you a deeper understanding of what’s happening. Can’t wait for the next episode
The storytelling in the various animated series, given the format, provide the best available in the Star Wars universe. Dave Filoni's lead on the storyline through the Clone Wars, then Rebels, and now with the Bad Batch are far more engaging than the actual movies.
Ok. I'm enjoying the video. But 2 things: 1. Don't give us a verbal narration, and then a big wall of text to read telling something completly different. It's difficult to pay attention and understand what it's being said in both without pausing the video. Like you do at the start with the crawling text, and your explanation of Tarkin's doctrine. 2. The map of the galaxy is a bit confusing without also showing the lines of the major hyperlane routes, or the circles dividing the different rims and areas of the galaxy. And showing the planets and the names of them so big in the screen makes it a bit confusing, making the galaxy look smaller than it actually is. But that might just be me. Also, a minor detail: Darth Vader also took part in the "pacification" campaign of Mon Cala next to Tarkin. But nonehtheless, you have made a great job.
Thank you for the feedback! 1. Good point here. I am trying to reconcile the fact that we want to give you guys more info with the flow. We'll try to find a better balance next time. 2. Initial map had borders and more planets, but it got too huge, need to find a way to do it better. 3. I know. Didn't want to show Vader in two places
Without hesitation I can say it was one of the top five star wars documentarys I have ever seen, with an outstanding art design. And I hope for clone war content in future. I would only like to see more details added as the one possible improvement, for instance that Mon Cala is also known as Dac.
I hope you do some legends timeline videos as well, since the disney timeline pales in comparison of detail and quality. There’s a lot more interesting stuff there to deal with!
The quality of the videos your team puts out never fail to impress me, the narration is clear and engaging and the visuals just step it up even more, thanks for the hard work!
I think it should be noted that the destruction of the fuel supply on Lothal is what innevitably destroyed the Empire in the long-run as during that moment, Thrawn was arguing that the Imperial resources are better allocated to hist Starfighter program instead of the Death Star. As, just as Thrawn pointed out, a flexible navy is the best counter against a widespread galactic rebellion, contrast to the Death Star which can only bring the presence and might of the Empire to one star system at a time. Governor Pryce's blunder has sullied any chance of this and the arguments put out by the Grand Admiral has now become null and void, which innevitably lead to the events of the Battle of Yavin and the eventual downfall of the Empire.
Just wondering when the time comes to cover the story of the galaxy after the death of Darth Sidious will you make the documentaries based on the actual original novel or the atrocious trilogy sequel? I really like the fictional story documentaries though. I voted for Warhammer but I guess I have to wait a bit longer haha
Can you guys do a series on the Expanded Universe? There is just a sea of information on it, and its wars make some sense. The Empire for example didn't completely disintegrate without a trace 2 years after Endor. Instead the New Republic was formed, and a long war continued. Also, two more words that show how covering the EU works these are: Yuuzhan Vong.
Thanks for doing these videos. I’m loving this channel! But maybe do a pause on the Witcher and Warhammer stuff and go back doing more Star Wars? A couple of requests too; I would love to see Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series and Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series done in this History Channel war documentary style
I think this channel will explode! It's such an amazing idea. Maybe one day you'll cover a fight or two from The Expanse universe? Or maybe even the Stormlight Archives. I haven't seen any big TH-cam channels covering those books.
I'm grateful for this, didn't want it to end actually. Excited for more. Love to see more universes in the 'kings and generals' style. I appreciate everyone involved in this production, it's really rather good. Thank you.
I enjoyed the video; it’s in the line of great documentary shows of the past and they can give noobs the grounding to understand the larger stories in Star Wars, Star Trek and other sci-fi and fantasy universes. Keep it coming!
Love both your Star Wars vids so far and I await all you’ll cover. Provides a nice alternative point of view from the films by treating it as a legit military documentary series.
As a die hard Star Wars and Kings and Generals fan, this is like an early birthday gift!!! Really enjoyed the video, keep up the good work we really appreciate it👍🏾💯
U know wat would be a great follow-up to this series. A analysis of the tactics and weapons or ships used by various factions. U know like u guys did with the mongols back in kings and generals. That would be my little slice of heaven.
Sorry about the delay - the video was mostly 3d and took forever to render. Rendering is a funny process in general. You mistype one letter and then have to render a chunk of the video to fix it and so on and so forth, until the video timeline looks like a gleeman's cloak, if you know what I mean.

It's surreal hearing Star Wars get the Kings & General treatment, but very well done. Love the new channel.
Off to a great start! Looking forward to what you may cook up for Legacy, The Old Republic and Clone War eras. =D
So much content on the way!
The clone wars series would be so amazing
Outstanding Work! "May The Force Be With Us All"
I remember every scene from the series at every moment of the episode. I was like "oh I remember it's in season 3" or "oh and this is when [this thing] happened in season 4!". It's so interesting to see it from a "larger scale" perspective. Great work! Can't wait for episode 2!
I appreciate you guys giving Hera and Cham Syndulla of Ryloth a mention, as well as Saw Guerrera.
I love the books on Hera and Cham!
@@WizardsandWarriors they are amazing!
Love these videos. The maps and images are great. Timeline storytelling is done in an understandable manner. Dig it with toast!
This was awesome, and I loved it. Your video finally made it all on a macro level make sense...Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Fantastic video, love that you guys are doing fictional battles now. Keep up the good work!
Will do!
This video was incredible. As a life long Star Wars, I absolutely loved it. Everything about it was great, from the unique storytelling style to the art (especially in the battle scenes). I can’t wait for more
Super happy to hear that!
As a Star Wars fan, this is amazing!!!!! Keep it up!!!
If you ever did this for like every battle in Star Wars (or even just most of them) you would be a literal hero to all star wars mega-nerds. It looks amazing, the individual battles are my favorite part of this video over the large galaxy-wide map.
Thanks! We will do our best to improve!
If there were TH-cam Emmy's, y'all should be the clear winners! Absolutely love all of the content. As a diehard LOTR and Star Wars fan, this is just what I needed to finish off 2021! Thank you!
There are, but we are never winning those. :-) Thanks for the kind words!
How good these are becoming wizards and warriors I think should at one point do a series on battles from the Mass Effect lore like the Rachni wars, the Krogan rebellions and liberation of Shanxi or even theatres in the Reaper war.
I’m so excited for this channel. The videos so far have been excellent. Will you guys cover clone wars and old republic?
Planning to!
Big Star Wars fan, and fan of the channel for quote some time now so I'm very excited to see this series!
I'm glad you pointed out the reasoning behind Mon Mothma's decision to not send help at Atollon. I think it's easy for people to see her in a bad light for that decision, Thrawn specifically wanted to draw out as many Rebels as he could, and exposing the entire Rebellion prematurely would have been a massive failure for her.
She's better than Hoda from the SWTLJ
Mon Mothma gets flack, but you can see what she is trying to do
I’ve been looking forward to this
Absolutely first class! Just amazing! Fantastic work and so appreciated! I look forward to few episodes thank you so much
I really hope we get some closure with Ezra in some upcoming shows !
Animation and styling are on point!!!!
Keep the good work, gained a sub
Welcome aboard!
The narrator is the same person who voices the KINGS AND GENERALS channel.... I like his voice and narration style..
So the battle of Anatollon was a tactical defeat for the rebels
But a stratification defeat for the empire.
i loved the first video and love the tolkien universe, but this one just knocked it out of the park. can’t wait to see what else this channel is capable of producing about the star wars universe
Glad to hear that! Episode #2 will be better, we learned a bunch of new things!
As for starwars, I highly recommend going with legends materials. There's ALOT more to draw from. And in my opinion generally better written than anything that's "canon" from Disney.
I think the canon has many good stories
This was wonderful to watch. Excellent selection of events, as well; with how much Star Wars material there is to cover, this honestly felt like a very natural place to start, as the rest of the series will feel like "an overall examination of the Galactic Civil War" rather than "let's break down the movies.
Also, my hat is off to the artist and animators. The style looks great, and leaves room to blend the CGI style of the show with other mediums in star wars (live action, comics, and books). Great job by everyone involved!
I love fictional history as much as actual history. What a fantastic job!
Thank you!
This was excellent; very clear and informative.
I was slightly surprised that Enfyst Nest and the Savareen insurgents didn't get a mention, but then again, we don't know much about them or their role (if any) in the formation of the Rebel Alliance.
Well done, folks. I'll look forward to the next one.
Is this real life? Still can’t believe Kings and Generals crew are this amazing. From strength to strength!
those three dee rendering were aaaawesomeeeee! Much better battle overview than Anything they ever were able to show in the films. keep up the excellent work guys
More on the way!
Really liked both the videos , looking forward to more . Can you also make such videos for 'A Song of Ice and Fire' and 'The Wheel of Time' , please ?
It’s so cool to the characters from the show but in the context of a history video. It puts the events into perspective and gives you a deeper understanding of what’s happening. Can’t wait for the next episode
This was really cool. You should do Clone wars, especially Umbara. That would be really cool, especially with the 3D animation you have
Love the idea of Kings & Generals explaining Star Wars!
The storytelling in the various animated series, given the format, provide the best available in the Star Wars universe. Dave Filoni's lead on the storyline through the Clone Wars, then Rebels, and now with the Bad Batch are far more engaging than the actual movies.
I’m inclined to agree
I have been a big fan of kings in general for a long time now and I think this is the perfect step for the channel to go
Ok. I'm enjoying the video. But 2 things:
1. Don't give us a verbal narration, and then a big wall of text to read telling something completly different. It's difficult to pay attention and understand what it's being said in both without pausing the video. Like you do at the start with the crawling text, and your explanation of Tarkin's doctrine.
2. The map of the galaxy is a bit confusing without also showing the lines of the major hyperlane routes, or the circles dividing the different rims and areas of the galaxy. And showing the planets and the names of them so big in the screen makes it a bit confusing, making the galaxy look smaller than it actually is. But that might just be me.
Also, a minor detail: Darth Vader also took part in the "pacification" campaign of Mon Cala next to Tarkin. But nonehtheless, you have made a great job.
Thank you for the feedback! 1. Good point here. I am trying to reconcile the fact that we want to give you guys more info with the flow. We'll try to find a better balance next time. 2. Initial map had borders and more planets, but it got too huge, need to find a way to do it better. 3. I know. Didn't want to show Vader in two places
What this guy said 100%
This video just emphasizes how cool a Total Star Wars game would be.
When will u guys make videos about GATE Thus the JSDF Fought There, Battle: Los Angeles and more?
Honestly, not planned for now. My anime is weak. :-)
@@WizardsandWarriors welp what about Battle: Los Angeles or the tv series of the Navy SEALs' missions?
@@WizardsandWarriors Oh yes pls do Battle: Los Angeles too
@@WizardsandWarriors Whacha ya mean by “My anime is weak”? Is that a joke because I don’t get it.
@@dalemacio1055 yep
Without hesitation I can say it was one of the top five star wars documentarys I have ever seen, with an outstanding art design. And I hope for clone war content in future. I would only like to see more details added as the one possible improvement, for instance that Mon Cala is also known as Dac.
Thank you! More on the way
I hope you do some legends timeline videos as well, since the disney timeline pales in comparison of detail and quality. There’s a lot more interesting stuff there to deal with!
The quality of the videos your team puts out never fail to impress me, the narration is clear and engaging and the visuals just step it up even more, thanks for the hard work!
Thanks for watching!
Please make a video about the Battle for Doldrey from Berserk!!!
I'm a visual learner so I love videos like this.
Wow cool 😎
Star Wars!!! This is great, and hope you guys keep the wonderful series going. May the force be with you.
We will! May the Force be with you!
I think it should be noted that the destruction of the fuel supply on Lothal is what innevitably destroyed the Empire in the long-run as during that moment, Thrawn was arguing that the Imperial resources are better allocated to hist Starfighter program instead of the Death Star. As, just as Thrawn pointed out, a flexible navy is the best counter against a widespread galactic rebellion, contrast to the Death Star which can only bring the presence and might of the Empire to one star system at a time. Governor Pryce's blunder has sullied any chance of this and the arguments put out by the Grand Admiral has now become null and void, which innevitably lead to the events of the Battle of Yavin and the eventual downfall of the Empire.
"And I would have gotten away with crushing those rebels if it wasn't for those meddling Space Whales!" - Grand Admiral Thrawn
Just wondering when the time comes to cover the story of the galaxy after the death of Darth Sidious will you make the documentaries based on the actual original novel or the atrocious trilogy sequel?
I really like the fictional story documentaries though. I voted for Warhammer but I guess I have to wait a bit longer haha
I really hope you guys continue fantasy battle:)
Can you guys do a series on the Expanded Universe? There is just a sea of information on it, and its wars make some sense. The Empire for example didn't completely disintegrate without a trace 2 years after Endor. Instead the New Republic was formed, and a long war continued. Also, two more words that show how covering the EU works these are: Yuuzhan Vong.
This is truly amazing, as I, both a avid fan of star wars, and kings and generals, see both in one place. Keep up the good work
Thank you! More on thee way!
Hah! I can't believe this 🤣😂
Good? Bad? :-)
@@WizardsandWarriors good for sure! I'm a huge Star Wars fan.
@@WizardsandWarriors both 😂
Thanks for doing these videos. I’m loving this channel! But maybe do a pause on the Witcher and Warhammer stuff and go back doing more Star Wars? A couple of requests too; I would love to see Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series and Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series done in this History Channel war documentary style
The quality of your videos are amazing! Why have I only found this now!? I'm subscribed to your other channel but this is amazing!
I think this channel will explode! It's such an amazing idea.
Maybe one day you'll cover a fight or two from The Expanse universe? Or maybe even the Stormlight Archives. I haven't seen any big TH-cam channels covering those books.
Very well done. This military approach to Rebels has finally convinced me to watch the show
So glad you guys made a fantasy channel I love the regular kings and generals but this is awesome
Great job Wizards and Warriors. I felt like I was watching a SW: Rebels documentary. Which I enjoyed a lot.
I'm grateful for this, didn't want it to end actually. Excited for more.
Love to see more universes in the 'kings and generals' style.
I appreciate everyone involved in this production, it's really rather good. Thank you.
I could just sit down and watch this forever...
a beautiful project has begun a millions of fans through the force are overjoyed
I enjoyed the video; it’s in the line of great documentary shows of the past and they can give noobs the grounding to understand the larger stories in Star Wars, Star Trek and other sci-fi and fantasy universes. Keep it coming!
Love both your Star Wars vids so far and I await all you’ll cover. Provides a nice alternative point of view from the films by treating it as a legit military documentary series.
Y’all can’t miss right now. Thank you for warming this nerd’s cold, jaded heart.
Thanks :-)
An amazing video. Really blowing me away with the incredible graphics and great detail. I hope this quality will sustain!
Yes man, thank you for this channel, huge fan of the main...but this I appreciate for more lol 😆 as someone who loves lore this will be great.
As a die hard Star Wars and Kings and Generals fan, this is like an early birthday gift!!! Really enjoyed the video, keep up the good work we really appreciate it👍🏾💯
U know wat would be a great follow-up to this series. A analysis of the tactics and weapons or ships used by various factions. U know like u guys did with the mongols back in kings and generals. That would be my little slice of heaven.
Brilliant video, I can't wait for more. What we need is the Sabbat world crusade and Horusy Heresy videos.
holly shit yes. imagine them depicting the massive scale of warhammer
