I've included a longer preview of the film I'm making with EC Henry at the end of today's video!
EckhartsLadder
^ Awesomeness
Eck! You mean Star Wars Cannon not Fannon
Could you please make a story between two infected race from the Halo universe vs Dead Space universe that would be cool
I guess my tweet about my M-wing Assault Fighter didn't matter or it wasn't enough?
Read my dm on discord
Rebels: _blow up the Super Duper Star Destroyer’s reactor core_
Empire: _defeats them anyway as the explosion lasts six hours_
The trick is to hijack the the navicomputer and send the ship into a black hole or a star.
WE GOT VICTORY BOYS
Or so you thought
You thought the empire was done, heheheh.
No.
We got an even bigger version, that does the same thing, but has more lasers on it,
also a solar system destroying super laser on it.
And don’t forget the fleet of 1 billion tie fighters, 13 tie interceptors, and 1 tie bomber you see in the movies...
I CAN SHOOT LIGHTNING FROM MY HANDS IS THAT ENOUGH COOL FOR YOU?!?!
Sheev Palpatine that sounds like UNLIMITED POWER
Ah yes, the Overcompensation-class Star Destroyer.
The executor since Anakin lost more than just some arms and legs
No, you mean the super cool really big gun attached to some long ship with a hyper speed engine and immortal crew.
Yeah I guess your right, we spent too much money on the thing. Good thing it was Vader’s money and not mine!
They all laughed when young Sheev got pantsed at the Theed High School homecoming dance! Well, whose laughing now, Cindy? Whose laughing now?
@@emperorpicard7222 I literally just read that in my head with Palpatine's voice in those Robot Chicken Star Wars episodes...
@@commanderjason7786 Nice, that's the voice I wrote it in!
_”Star Wars has a lot of passionate fan artist”_
Me: _Flashbacks on some _*_interesting_*_ fan artist_
Me: Yeah. *_VEEERY_* passionate.
Lol. Clever girl!
There there my friend. We've all been there
#NoRegrets
bad flashbacks
Wut? Ya mean that Ayla Secura naked image?
If you pause at 2:38 and read the text on screen, you'll be rolling around in fits of laughter.
The way it's written is brilliant, you've got to read it.
Eck, brilliant video.
three kilometer tall window, just saying
Illuminati That’s my favorite part too. But the films + EU all tell me some angsty Force-sensitive teen is just gonna sneak on board to rescue a friend and some $h!t happens where they detonate the entire thing. Probably some fight on the bridge has the villain fall to his death... down the entire bridge :-p now THAT would be original!
It's been proven that ritualistic sacrifices improve success rates.
😂
Sam Speed
Should be pinned at the top.
It’s a very amusing email.
It’s great to see how many fans are passionate enough to make their own ships
Vsauce Puppet you are everywhere and watch too much youtube bro
I ship it ;)
Brah, are you justin y but less active
Too bad sequel fans are passionate on the wrong ship which is Reylo
Why did I see u on Mandrproductions
I heard the word "Imperium" and I came here as fast as I could
And I only fround HERESY!
No 40k here just HERETICS
Same
Biel Peñalver Revilla PURGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THEM ALLLLLLLLLLLL
DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR THERE IS ONLY ONE IMPERIUM CADIA BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD DID!!!!!
Roland Hanson The emperor protects
Not gonna lie. That bit about the Imperium Super Duper Star Destroyer made me laugh. It's easy to imagine the Empire spending the absurd amount of resources needed to make something so impractical, only to decommission it before it ever saw service.
I know you'll get to this in the finale of the Vong sub-series. Won't stop me from going through the motions though.
Anyways: Can you breakdown what is by far the largest space battle in the entire franchise? *The* *Battle* *of* *Yuuzhan'tar!* I have made this request: one-hundred-seventeen times.
At least is more Practical then the Death Star
Rebels: *blows up death star*
Empire: *FOOL!* YOU HAVE JUST ACTIVATED MY *TRAP CARD!* *SUPER MEGA ULTRA STAR DESTROYER OF DEATH!*
no
It would have less than half of the tonnage of the DS1
Hah I went bigger by going to 3 million miles long with cannons so big you could fit an imperial class in the barrel.
And it’s a clone wars era ship
Hi
smitten kitten hi
Only an imperial star destroyer in the barrel
Darth Nihilus bitch please mine can fit a planet in it’s barrel
8:28 Imagine that you're a mail courier and you're on the tip of the ship closest to us on our right and you have a package that needs to go to the other tip just above it. You can look out a space window and see it, and it doesn't look that far away, but you have to take a shuttle on a five hour drive 3/4 down the length of the ship and back up again just to get to the other side.
( sees thumbnail) A star destroyer with a death star in the middle and launching other imperial 2 star destroyer like star fighters . You cant get more FREEDOM than this.
It just sounds patriotic too, the "Hedgemod Star Dreadnought"
Definitely can’t
Freedom needs a big asterisk
Emperor bless those brave troops fighting for our freedom and to put an end to the war-mongering guerilla fighters. Our boys in white have my utmost respect.
Marin Eduard No, you need to color it with red, white, and blue. Only then can it be truly the epitome of FREEDOM.
All we need now is them to make the Super Duper Mega Ultra Giga Fantastically Fantastic Almighty Terrible Godhood of God the II The Thundery Zeus of the Utter Grimness of Grim Reaper the Ultimate Deathyness the Destroyer of Worlds, the Death Star. Otherwise known as Bob.
_"That's No Galaxy...."_
Bob, the Eckhart class
Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Star Destroyer?
This comment was a roller coaster from start to finish.
The 'Yuge' Destroyer
I love how all of these look but I'm actually a little disappointed that the sphere in the hegemon class ship is a death star and not a droid control ship.
that animated looks damn good
Who doesn't love the SDSD Freudian Nightmare?
That short is going to be beautiful
*overpowered weapons and swole battlesuits intensifies*
Different kind of Imperium.
hairypancake Honestly speaking, the ship looks like an inhumane Frankenstein experiment between a Lucrehulk, and an ISD
God I remember this monstrosity
Understatement.
That thing is a freak of nature.
I love the idea of the imperium class. It is THE PERFECT example of the tarkin doctrine. It's hilarious because it's so FRIGGIN huge, that it struggles to operate properly. It's so frickin huge, that it takes like what, 3 days to tour? IT IS SO FRICKIN HUGE, that a civil war was fought on it! It's brilliant!
I find it funny how the hugemon star destoyer is now pretty normal on the power scale.
The First one reminds me of the ship in spaceballs not because the ships are similar it just the fact how long the ship is and how long it take to get from one end to an other.
Now that's alot of fandom
until the Last Jedi
#AskEck
If the 2nd Death Star had been destroyed but Palpatine had survived, do you think he would've prioritized ships like the Eclipse instead? Or focus on making a new type of Imperial II with a scaled down superlaser?
He's most likely start construction on a THIRD death star.
@@chanachon56 lol yeah
Sovereign-class, I think. It's a slightly smaller Eclipse, IIRC, and would be a bit more useful.
He would build something larger
I think palpetine would use all available forces he had left to try and destroy the rebels for good
I love how the only feasible way to make the ultra star destroyer practical would be to have cities that each specialize on a different part of the ships systems. Imagine trying to get something to the bridge by hand, you would have to set up a pneumatic tube system.
I could see the Hegemon not as a ship to secure the empire but for it to conquer other galaxies. I imagine this song ship along with all its compliment sent to a foreign galaxy for the single purpose of conquering it with no need of reinforcement or supplies from the SW galaxy since it could produce its own new capital ships with its on board factories and new soldiers with its cloning facilities.
God that ship is cool
Which one, cause all of them looked badass
Charles Hixon the imperium
Sam dale very cool
The Emperor of Mankind: *Sees Imperium class star destroyer*
Also the Emperor of Mankind: Aww! It's so cute!
I'll Be honest I can see the Imperium class star destroyer In W40K
Isn't the biggest Warhammer ship 12km?
@@shriekingskeleton 26km Macragge's Honour
__ I think even the Imperium would be impressed by that ship Class, it’s garrisons and firepower would be well suited for Warhammer 40k.
@@ayylmao575 Maybe.
8:24 that star destroyer is awesome
SDSD Freudian Nightmare, the true legend!
“The Imperium is just ridiculously big”
WH40K: Hold my beer.
@ANUBHAV SHARMA Warhammer 40k
In all honesty this ship probably dwarves everything in wh40k that isn't a world enigne
@@leonsteinbauer2770 Welp, W40K's largest human ship is about 30Km,but for this one it exceeds greatly.
SPOILER:Actually,the longest ship in SciFi is Protoss Spear of Adun (74km),Gloriana Battleships just retain the longest HUMAN SHIP record.
Super
Bro, just you wait. I'm in the middle of works right now. This ship will out class every other ship PUT TOGETHER!!! It will be called the Maximum Over Star Dreadnaught Cruising Corvette!!!! I'll PM you when I'm done with the work!
You're right tho, they are very boring names!
Hussain C have something better in mind I’m curious
@@jacktheflash8478 Nope
Hussain C well I don’t have a better one either
@@jacktheflash8478 instead of having the ship named Supremacy, I have have named the entire line Supremacy. You could still call it The Supremacy since it's the first one.
I personally love ansel hsiao's work. My favorite of his is either the impellor or the secutor. And while it's not a star destroyer, I REALLY love his model of the All Terrain Siege Platform. It's so frickin cool.
I love this Walker
1:30 the inquisitor class is probably my favorite in terms of looks, it has such an interesting shape
The last star ship was amazing but just imagine the amount of people it would take to use that ship
A planet's worth of people.
Damn, from what I can tell on the text that showed on 2:46, the Imperium Star Destroyer just became a militarized and weaponized Space Station 13
I think it’s really cool you do this Eckheart. You not only provide substantial knowledge about canon/legends and creating this community. Now you have made a wonderful contribution and my only giving, but taking some great things and turning them into this life video. Thank you.
You should make a factions compared of light vehicles? Like Ghost, Warthog, 74-Z, Flitknot speeder, Rebel Combat speeder, AT-RT, the speeders from TLJ.
Also another good idea i had was Avengers (IW) vs Jedi Council (RotS)
Warthog and Combat speeder seat multiple people. I don't think they should be considered
@@user-zb9tn7mm5i simple, replace combat speeder with T-2B, and warthog with mongoose or mantis
8:51 Now that is what the Supremacy should've looked like omfg
Supremacy being red is cool but it's not supposed to be a mini death star.
that film looks amazing!!
2:53 Only 10 cities? **Laughs in High Gothic**
More like *laughs in eldari*
The first ship is so big, nation states were formed within and started warring with eachother. That's peak empire.
Great video eck. Why do I have such fascination in gigantic capital ships both real and fictional? Lol
Well, because they're the ultimate expression of pride and power. They're more than weapons, they're symbols.
@@antheunis011 that's a great way to put it. Symbols of raw power. Battleships in particular are some of the best looking warships in my opinion.
@@justinbiggs1005 I personally prefer smaller ships... destroyers fir the most part. Love battleships as well, carriers too. Really can't say there's one i give much preference to. But I do so addore the spectacle they represent.
Any particular style (art. Design. Fandom)?
@@antheunis011 destroyers can look pretty awesome too. Style wise I like late ww2 American destroyers. However some of the best looking big ships in my opinion are the ones built before ww1. They look pretty cool.
@@justinbiggs1005 hmmm. Real world ships... I'd go with the Kriegsmarine fleet. Carrier would be Yorktown class.
Sci fi... i can't really pick. I could say industrial terran modular ships I guess... the likes of UNSC with the Halberd, the Autumn and Trafalgar. Battlestars. Cygnus Gunstar is one of my favs. Kol, Marza and Sova from SinS. Really anything that makes it look like a stout warship, rather than a sleek graceful ship.
Oh and Imperial Navy from 40k. Because who doesn't like giant cathedrals with thrusters and dakka slappes on them.
the emperor of mankind shall be proud
5:48
Imperial: “sir we’ve been having troubles with our hangers going boom and since we only have two we lose the majority of our fighters”
Officer: “so anyway heres a ship with tens of em”
It's always lovely to see passion projects that spring up in the fanbase. on that note, I'm really looking forward to your upcoming film!
RE: Hegemon Class Star Dreadnought; "Nothing about this is practical or feasible..." - Sounds like a perfect Imperial ship!
Empire: Yes. Build a moon sized, planet destroying, battle station.
Also Empire: No. We cant build a super duper star destoyer.
Awesome vid as always Eck! I've always loved how crazy legends gets, "always trying to one-up itself" is a great way of putting it - but that's part of what makes it so awesome imo, can't wait to see the full short you and ECHenry are making!
Man, Eck, I really respect the fan-art spotlight here. Supporting people passionate about the thing you enjoy like this is super cool.
a ship thats 100s of KM in length?
*Hold my beer*
Introducing the How Do I Even Measure This Dreadnaught, the only ship that take up almost half the universe. It houses 3 types of cannons-Black Hole Blasters, Galaxy Pistols, and Editors. The Black Hole Blasters rapidally fire hundreds of black holes at a time into its enemies. The ship houses at least 6.91 Billion of these. The Galaxy Pistol is a rapid fire cannon that fires galaxies at the opponent. We have roughly 991.6 Million of these on the ship. And finally, the editors. The editors are devices that warp the fabric of time and space around them, practically turning the ship into a god ship. We have only 6 Million editors on the ship, because they take up alot of space.

Is the price negotiable?
@@Ryukuro well, that is the standard price. The peasant version only costs $50000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
However, thats just for a black hole blaster covered ship with shitty quality. If you want a good quality ship you have to pay the full price. Sorry.
@@thequ5914 how about just one editor. No ship. I'm on a (relatively) tight budget
@@Ryukuro sorry. Either black hole blaster ship or full thing. Better save up kid

@@firewaffles8208 Ok
0:34 You absolute tease! I wanted to see the rest of that ship
That short part of the film at the end looks really good
The Imperium Star destroyer kinda reminds me of the Separatist ship that young anakin blew up in episode 1 when he said: “Now this is Pod raining!”
3:02 wouldn't a ship this size have a large railway in the middle of it like in the manevolence
This was a really fun idea for a video. I really enjoyed the range of ships you covered here.
Truly enjoyed watching this Fanon vid.
Can't wait for the VS. vid you and EC Henry have been working on.
Emperor’s banking account: *“Haha, I’m in danger!”*
#AskEck Also what do you think the future will end up like? Will it be more like halo where science and government have a strong authority, like war hammer where magic and such dominate, or Star Wars with strong governments but ones that can only monitor certain areas and heavy levels of piracy, or perhaps a more dystopian future, or even something entirely different such as fallout or the matrix? Do you think AI, space travel, cyberspace, war/weapons of war will exist in the distant future? What form of governance if any will be most dominant? Will there be one or many. Will there be trade or self reliance? What about arts?
Cool question 😊
@@tori9365 Thanks! I'm glad you think so. Give it a like so that he will see it.
Good question
wow, you teaming up with EC Henry and the whole "The Sojourn" project are the best two things that happend this year. cant wait for both contents
Yesssss, I have wanted a video about the imperium, thank you

I feel like the Hegemon class Star Dreadnought could be used to invade/colonize other galaxies if it were fast enough and able to produce resources.
Its design goes hard.
Oh man these are great, please cover more of these designs.
These star destroyer are awesome and so cool looking. Great video
Empire at Hoth vs First Order on Crait
Nice idea, actually. never thought about it but I guess FO would rek poor imps..
@@CS-nq9sq I agree, since the AT-M6 is a lot more advanced and is much larger, it is a great threat to the Imperial AT-AT walker. I think one shot from the M6's artillery gun will blow the head off the AT-AT, making it a one shot, one kill. The Imps might take out the FO's version of the AT AT, but not the M6.
But Vader would destroy Kylo, without a doubt.
Death Squadron for days...
On one hand, the First Order has far superior tech.
On the other hand, the Empire is actually competent.
Personal shield technology compared Dune Halo Mass Effect and Star Wars
Dune.
I prefer shields that don't explode like a nuke when somebody points a laser at them…
Personal shields were never a thing in star wars until after disney, the reason for this was Radiation poisoning, which is why Droideka's were so effective because they were inorganic beings
@@havoc3742 What about KOTOR?
@@plutarchvonpluto6439 What ABOUT KotoR?
YEEEEES this is perfect! I have always wanted a fanon video becaus sometimes i do fanon and now the video with ec henry is coming out today YAAAAAS
So exited for the ship renders!
Better designs than the uninspired Disney Star Destroyers
Absolute. The ships in episode nine looked so lame. This one in the thumbnail is a way more interesting concept
@@donkalzone6671 I really woul've liked if some of these designs were included in the rise of skywalker. Would've been better with new ships.
At least the Resurgent class is unique
I like the First Order star destroyers but Final Order ones are just copy paste, as well as just about everything else
Notification squad like it up
Amber leader here!
Awesome!
Always loved the ships from Thrawns Revenge.
The other designs look very innovative as well ofcourse.
I love fan made designs they combine their best aspects of the source material with pure cool factor
Hey Eck, what about a Star Destroyer just longer than a Secutor with a planet-destroying laser? That'd be fairly ridiculous, huh? ;)
Do a Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Fluidic Space and war against Species 8472! 78th try.
Now that I'd like to see!!
The vong would probably eventually fall to the biomimetic trickery of 8472.
Or they would both kill each other off..
Enjoyed to a great extend! Great design! Thanks man
Thank you. I have waited so long for you to make a real video about it
I'm sad you didn't do the Revenge Class heavy carrier, aka the Relentless. Such a beautiful ship and yet disheartening how little we see of it.
The Imperium would be so difficult to manage.... Just imagine having to get to the other end of it xD
I bet it has in-built highways.
The Malevolence used an extensive high-speed rail system to move personnel from from one end of the ship to the other.
JP Labs Why not a hyperdrive train?
Same for the Death Star
@@floo1465 They'd need minatiurized interdictors for that to work, not mentioning the sheer danger of sending something at FTL speeds INSIDE the ship where there would be no capital-grade shielding. They're better off using hypersonic transports.
Excellent material, great episode!
Ecks look forward to the that project with EC and thanks for all the content lately its been fun to look at
Reply guys and answer between:
BARC speeder(4 lasers cannons) vs 74-z speeder (1 laser)
BARC 520 km/h 74-Z 360-500 km/h
I think BARC wins it has more firepower and it looks better + it has paint job
And has the same technology found in AT RT which allows it to tell the command post
(without the pilot doing something) how many enemies are there, what kind of enemies are.
BARC is way sexier than 74-z and better
NewFlame 2 agreed
The Halo 5: Guardians Gungoose. It has the most firepower of any single-occupant Sci-Fi vehicle with guns on it.
5:36 needs to be in empire at wars mods
This was really incredible! I would really love to see another video looking at fannon ships
This video was awesome! I hope this can be a series. I’d love to see fanon star fighters, non-Imperial ships, or whatever else you might have seen (be it Star Wars, Halo, or any of the other universes you cover).
Could you do a video on all named ISD BTW nice vid
1:39
Palpatine has 6 fingers on one hand lol
It's just the lighting on his arm, but it does look like it tho.
You're working on a short film? That's awesome! Can't wait!
OH MY GOD THAT VIDEO YOURE TALKING ABOUT WITH EC SOUNDS AMAZING. I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!
IMPERIUM
PURGE THE ZENOS
NO MERCY NO RESPITE
At 2:00 clone palpatine has six fingers on his right hand, is that intentional?
Pretty sure that's the light reflecting off his forearm, does look a bit weird though at first glance
I'm thrilled you added that spacebattles post. One of my all time favorites.
Your lore videos are really well researched and interesting! Keep it up!
#AskEck What are your thoughts on the designs and capabilities of the ships of the Zann Consortium from Star Wars: Empire at War, and could they be any sort of threat to any faction of the Star Wars cannon and legends universes?
I'd love to see some more videos on fan designs, maybe even incorporating some of EC Henry's starfighter designs into versus episodes now and then?
hey eck I really cant wait to see your short film
the people that thought up the ships in this video, and did the art for them, are heros. they have made Star Wars even better over the years with the stuff they come up with and show us. keep going you Stan Lee's of Star Wars, keep going.
Excelsior!!
The Imperium was meant to be immortal..?
