  • There has been many types of Star Destroyers built by Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars. But there is one Imperial Star Destroyer that is the most horrifying of them all, and it belonged to no other than Wilhuff Moff Tarkin.

      Oh and just another thing: the Empire is a fascist state. So inquisitors don't make any sense because they are aliens and direct rivals to Vador and Palpatine. Female officers or agents don't make any sense too because it's a fascist galactic state. Coloured characters in the imperial army don't make any sense, and characters who were born or lived in outer-Rim or Mid-Rim should be soldiers or sub-officers. Just like Janek Sunbers or Biggs Darklighter. Disney is making a first galactic dictature actually MORE inclusive and diversified than the democracy where I live (France). How Empire can be evil if they are not racists, if they don't kill a bunch of civillians, no rape, no slavery, no real and brutal torture so what? They are evil because the plot say they are evil. That's the state of star wars today.

I designated Grand Moff Tarkin’s flagship as the Tyrant which appears in the card game and becomes part of Death Squadron. But much later in Disney Canon the flagship is named to the Sovereign, which is a class of Super Star Destroyer we see in Dark Empire and the West End sourcebooks.

    You know the sad thing is, you could easily do a much less ridiculous version of this and have it actually make sense. Instead of just leaving battle damage around, repair it and paint it so it still looks damaged, or paint it so it draws attention to the areas that were damaged/destroyed. Instead of having rotting corpses lying around, which is bad for morale and general health, have a plaque or memorial where each crew member died. This accomplishes the same basic thing while being entirely less deranged

    From a story standpoint I get what they were going for. But realistically? No. No one would intentionally leave extensive damage alone. Going into combat like that would mean a serious reduction in capability and left it vulnerable for further damage. The ship would have been repaired or scrapped for parts. The bodies would have been cleaned up. Seriously, seeing the rotting corpses of their family wouldn't make the crew fight harder so much as question the sanity of their commanders. This was just bad writing for the sake of being edgy.

      As a 40k fan, I think it's a matter of propaganda. We would be disgusted by death bodies laying around. But maybe there used it as propaganda like "Look, this will happen to you too if you don't fight and work harder!" Like a execution by the superior officer but more omnipresent. If you execute a person, it's a temporary 'moral' boost, but force them to walk by the death is a fast way to terrifying people and let them know who is in charge. Maybe there also put this in a ideological way. "The death bodies are the reminder why we are fight against the rebellion." Or propaganda shit like this.

      Death Vader literally kills people who don't finish task as he likes it on side. The majority of imperial forces, special mid-command officers feared him. The death star was build by slaves. Prisoners get shot on side by imperial troops.

You can't have a galaxy-spanning empire with literally trillions of people and have even the majority of them be evil psychopathic maniacs. Because if there's that many psychopaths it means the ENTIRE galaxy is filled with them and even the rebels would be equally as psychopathic, just with different reasons motivating them.
      Lucas modeled the Empire after Germany. And like Germany he made it so the empire had some real bad people (the emperor, tarkin, vader) and then normal people. Do you not remember that Luke wanted to join the imperial academy? Had it not been for sheer coincidence Luke would have been in the Empire.
      So no, it's not a "myth", it's established canon, the SOLE canon as it's in the movies. Disney can try all they want to erase Lucas' legacy, but true fans will never let them.

      Like maybe there are whole sections or decks of the ship that no longer require regular maintenance anymore since no one lives there anymore.
      Like maybe the chief crewmen now just have everyone sharing sleeping bunks (by different people using bunks at different times during different 6 hour "shifts") and having overcrowded mess halls and bathrooms in the remaining decks.
      Maybe they just have a few less lasers working on the ship and a few less TIE fighter flight decks operational.

    Okay. I have questions. The material says the ship was hit by debris of the Death Star exploding... how? There were no Imperial warships in the system during the First Battle of Yavin; Tarkin was determined to prove the Death Star could do the job on its own, refusing to launch the station's own defending ships (overruled by Vader who launched his personal TIE Squadron and later joined them). Had the formation of Star Destroyers Vader and Tarkin had stayed with the station (of these, Vader's Flagship Devastator along with Avenger, Conquest, Tyrant, Ultimatum, and Stalker, are known), Red Squadron would have been swarmed by their TIEs.

      Perhaps the ship arrived after the Death Star stopped communicating and was showered in debris moving at high speed away from Yavin, or it was docked with the station.

    Honestly leaving the dead crew in their death positions is just stupid, but in my mind leaving the ship damaged is also stupid.
    Having the ship show scars makes sense. Having the dead crew entombed in the ships halls and structure in metal coffins, also makes sense... somewhat.
    If they fixed the ship and made it so that it showed obvious scarring, like say if they repaired the ship but never repainted the repairs or deliberately painted over the repaired sections to highlight the repairs, that would be cool.

  • @SabreTheTaleTeller
    @SabreTheTaleTeller ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Intimidation can be a factor in combat, especially for the Sith, but doing it this way just screams idiots in the writing room with no real idea of the human psyche and no experience in using fear as a battle tactic. Here is how I would make this work:
    1. Repair the damage, keeping it broken up like that is stupid. Instead, paint the repaired sections black to contrast with the gray of standard Imperial livery. This gives the impression of the scarring it received, but does not compromise its integrity.
    2. Strike at the Rebel's morale. Upgrade the communications suite and broadcasting all frequencies when you go into battle. Blare the names of Imperial troops the Rebels killed on loop. Killing stormtroopers becomes a lot harder when you realise they're not faceless drones. Hell, if you want to really gutpunch the Rebellion, list civilians the Rebels kill (of which there were many). Don't try to fudge the list, make sure its real, then it hits the conscience of the "good guys" like a train. Make sure it can't be blocked out and it'll double as jamming the enemy's comms, leaving their units isolated and unco-ordinated.
    3. Nothing is scarier than beating your enemy. Rebel doctrine heavily favoured fighters and smaller capital vessels, but most ISDs were made to counter heavier fleets. Refit the Star Destroyer's weaponry to focus more on anti-fighter weaponry, use the spare capacity from less focus on turbolasers to cover the ship in smaller scale weapons. If you are made to counter the Rebellion's go-to way to fight, you will strike a fearsome reputation. They may try to adapt of course, but the Rebellion had limited resources for a lot of the war and may not be able to adapt on a larger scale, especially if you start cutting down their squadrons and fleets on the regular, meaning less resources for future counterattacks.
    THAT, is how you weaponise fear.

    Interesting idea……for someone who knows nothing of the Empire’s rigid standards for every soldier, vehicle and piece of equipment serving is (especially one as significant as a star destroyer). Palpatine, Vader or really any Moff or fleet admiral could and would have ordered it back to a dry dock for full repairs or simply scrapped it and given the captain a different ship. And the whole leaving dead bodies and having their family members staff the ship mess simply wouldn’t fly.
    At least that’s how they did it back in Legends, when things made more sense.
