    A few things to consider in a defense of Coruscant:
    1. The republics military capabilities are vastly dwarfed by civilian and local government forces that we don't see much of in the movies. There are several other major worlds in within hours of Coruscant also that would likely come to Coruscants defense.
    2. Coruscant is protected by a powerful planetary shield that would presumably withstand several fully charged blasts from the second death star had it been completed, though it's actual power isn't discussed in Cannon that I'm aware of. I don't think the Mothership is equipped with anything that would break through it quickly.
    3. Star Wars ships are known to to be vulnerable to EM attacks such as the Ion Canons in Empire Strikes Back, but can often recover quickly from such EM attacks. While the Motherships EM Pulse is probably vastly more powerful then those Ion Cannons, it's effect is dispersed in all directions. Further, Star Wars craft are regularly seen operating near stars and inside nebulae and various other cosmic phenomena. A Galaxy is full of far more powerful EM fields and effects then a ship the size of the alien mothership might have generated in resurgence, and I find it difficult to believe that ships in Star Wars would be entirely unprepared for such a pulse.
    4. The Alien mothership could ram Coruscant if they were determined. It's difficult to say how the Planetary shield would hold up to that, since it's probably not really designed for things the size of Earths moon or a dwarf planet, but assuming the ship managed to ram Coruscant the resulting earthquake would devastate the comparatively weak city structures. Coruscant relies on the ability to control and subdue the planets natural tectonic activity.

      1. Even if the republic has military capabilities. How can it match the aliens in ID if the harvester ship came not just one but 6 or more harvester ships? Remember, the size of the alien harvester ship itself is 4,828 KM.
      2. Are you certain that the planetary shields in coruscant can withstand a continuous drill beam coming from the alien harvester ship? The planetary shield itself was only made to withstand the firepower of capital ships. Which only shoots a blast of energy weapon. How can you sure that the planetary shields could withstand a continuous energy beam?
      3. Even if they manage to recover to EM attacks. Before they could even recover. They would be attacked by swarms of alien enemy fighters.
      4. Let's not forget the fact that the planet coruscant itself is a layers of cities piled on top of each other. A drill beam coming from the alien harvester ship is more powerful enough to penetrate the surface of the planet with no difficulties at all.

      Don't even need to get that detailed. Just call upon the bullshit powers of Star Wars Legends and use a collective Force Push to send the mothership into a star. A dozen Jedi Knights/Padawans managed to fling a whole Imperial task force not just out of the Yavin system, but so far away from it that Daala couldn't even locate them. Not hard to imagine that 10,000 Jedi doing the same thing would be able to push even the mothership away.

    With the Independence Day ship tanking a single nuke, I always though it would be funny to swap to the other side and have one of the aliens report that their shield power has been reduced to like 1%. "We can't take another hit like that!"

    • @tristanbackup2536
      @tristanbackup2536 Před 2 lety +17

      Not to mention it must've been a low-yeid tactical nuke. If an alien ship survives one, your not using a bigger yeid & more of them. Better yet. Why not fly pass the shield, helicopters had no problem at low speeds & simply attach it to the hull then daddy go boom boom. Leaving a massive vaporize hole wherever you put it, damaging critical structures to keep it in the air or outright destroy it as the shields would contain the blastwaves inside before the shield generator fails.

    • @PsychShrew
      @PsychShrew Před 3 lety +10

      Obi-Wan doesn't need to be on the high ground, the high ground just needs to exist within the battle; Obi-Wan knows that when he has the low ground, he really has the high ground, from a certain point of view.
      Look at his battle record:
      Maul: Has low ground, wins
      Dooku: No high ground, loses
      Dooku rematch: No high ground, loses
      Greivous: Has low ground, wins
      Vader: Has high ground, wins
      Vader rematch: No high ground, loses
      Obi-Wan with the high/low ground is canonically the most powerful Jedi. This is fact. Had Yoda not denied his request to battle The Senate with typical Jedi arrogance, Obi-Wan could have defeated Palpatine in the Senate building, which housed a variety of different altitudes; this was designed so that the Chancellor could always have the moral high ground in political debates. But Obi-wan didn't fight The Senate, and Yoda soon learned that you can't cleave the Sheev in a normal 1v1.
      Yoda is shorter than virtually every other fighter, which gives him a permanent low-ground disadvantage; however, his saber-fighting style utilizes a flipping-heavy technique in order to negate this weakness for a temporary window. You'll notice that, as he falls from the central podium in The Senate's building, he immediately retreats, knowing that he can never hold the high ground in this duel. You'll also notice that, while training Luke, he rides on him like a mount, to gain the intellectual high ground and accelerate Luke's training. Obi-Wan's defensive Form III lightsaber style synergizes with his careful military maneuvers; as he only strikes when prepared, he can always hold the strategic high ground. You'll come to realize that Commander Cody's artillery strike failed against Obi-Wan, when hundreds of Jedi were killed in similar attacks. Cody failed to grasp the strategic situation, as the Jedi Master's elevation was superior to his by hundreds of meters, making him virtually unkillable. Had Cody taken his time and engaged the Jedi on even terrain, he could have possibly succeeded. Obi-Wan then retreated under the surface of the lake, so that he could maintain the topographical low/high ground. In RotS, you'll notice that all the Jedi killed were on level ground with the clones, thereby assuring their demise.
      As we all know, spinning is a good trick. However, only the Chosen one can spin outside of a starfighter. Palpatine tried spinning, but he lost due to this technique (but this was intentional, as losing gave him the emotional high ground when Anakin arrived). The reason for this is that spinning provides a yin-yang approach to combat (based in Eastern philosophy on balance), giving the spinner the high ground from above and below. Only the Chosen One can master the spin, as it is their destiny to maintain balance in the universe. This is why Obi-Wan was so emotional after defeating Vader on Mustafar; he expected to lose the high ground to the spin, but Anakin fell to the dark side and could no longer use his signature trick, becoming the very thing he swore to destroy.
      Anakin doesn't hate sand for the reasons he told Padme; all Jedi hate sand, as the battlefield can rapidly change between low and high ground on multiple vectors, so your perspective must be from a certain three-dimensional point of view in order to comprehend who holds the high ground. This is the only reason why Obi-Wan killed Maul in Rebels. This is also why Obi-Wan hates flying; there is no gravity in space, therefore there is no high or low ground from any frame of reference (This also negates the spinning trick.)
      It took the Tusken Raiders years of conflict against Old Ben Kenobi to grasp his superiority in terrain advantage, as you see them visibly flee in ANH when they realize he holds the low (inverse-high) ground. Additionally, Obi-Wan's victory in the cantina against the drunkard was assured, as he held the temperamental high ground, his actions more calculated and well-thought than the alcoholic, who was so uncivilized.
      In ANH, Vader proves his newfound mastery by engaging Obi on perfectly even ground. However, Obi-Wan intentionally sacrifices himself on the Death Star, so that he could train Luke from a higher plane of existence, thereby giving him the metaphysical high ground.
      Why was Vader so invested in the construction and maintenance of the Death Star? Because he knows Obi-wan can't have the high ground if there's no ground left.
      As seen through the events of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan was known to be on friendly terms with Senator Organa, whose homeworld held large quantities of mountainous terrain, the perfect habitat for a Jedi Master. Grand Moff Tarkin was already in position to destroy Alderaan as a first target, as the distance from Scarif to Alderaan was too vast to reach between the escape and recapture of the Tantive IV, even at 1.0 lightspeed. Alderaan had been the initial target all along, as Obi-Wan with the high ground was the primary threat to the Death Star. How? Because a moon-sized space station would have some form of gravitational pull, thereby negating Obi-Wan's zero-gravity weakness; Obi-Wan with the perpetual high-ground in a low-orbit starfighter would easily be able to fire proton torpedoes through a ventilation shaft, although the Empire was uncertain of the specific weakness of the Death Star planned by Galen Erso (who was a good friend).
      In Return of the Jedi, you can see that the Throne Room contains a variety of different altitudes; Palpatine placed these there to ensure Vader's defeat. However, Sheev failed to realize that his weakness was no ground, and should have covered that useless gaping pit which does nothing.
      A common misconception is the idea of a 'prostrate position' version of the high ground, wherein Obi-Wan lies flat on his back, giving him tactical superiority from his point of view. However, this strategy is futile, as for the high ground to come into effect, there must be a differential between parties on both the x-axis and y-axis to a moderately significant variation from both absolutes (Angles only a Sith would deal in). For Obi-Wan's high ground powers to have full effect, he must stand between 15 and 75 degrees (π/12 to 5π/12 radians) diagonal from his opponent(s) on any quadrant of the trigonometric circle.
      In conclusion, Obi-wan abuses spatial relativity and Taoist doctrine in order to always invoke his high-ground powers.

      To the same point. They had 20 years to figure it out.

But the energy they run on is Nuclear Fusion and we already had Nuclear Fission figured out (if I remember right from irl) so it was also a matter of figuring out.

      Well the jedi don’t use force choke. Also if the jedi could do that, then how come they can’t do it in other scenarios? Could anakin and obi-wan not do that to grievous before showing up? You clearly have to be either in vicinity or seeing them directly to choke them (as seen by vader during empire strikes back). Or else nothing would be a threat. A force user could just choke every ship commander in existence.

    I think Coruscant would have won easily.
    I mean an Imperial Star Destroyer can destroy the entire surface of a planet in a matter of hours with it's turbolaser,which is very similar to the Alien's own weapon.
    Venators would be less powerful,but Base Delta Zero was made during the Republic if i recall correctly.
    Their lasers are powerful and their ships can usually take a few hits from them before going down.I see the same thing
    Im pretty sure they would have prepared for EMPs as well,the Harvesters would not be the first ones to attempt such a thing.
    Turbolasers range from 3 megatons to 200 gigatons.Different sources say other things,but SW lasers can vaporize metal and get past their own deflector shields.Im sure the Harvesters dont have that much powerful deflector shields.
    Star Wars has their own powerful shields,and If I remember correctly Coruscant has one too.
    They might loose some ships,but I honestly think they'd do better than this video says they would.They arent Earth,they have powerful technology themselves and could do the same thing the Harvesters did to Earth,if not better(If they wanted to destroy the surface of Earth,a small fleet of Venators could do that from orbit in a matter of hours.It took the Harvesters a few days to move around.)

    • @JudgeMad
      @JudgeMad Před 7 lety +24

      Unfortunately, Coruscant does not have a shield, it was mentioned in the old EU but since thats not canon anymore.... Anyway, I agree that SW turbolasers are pretty fucking powerful, a medium sized turbolaser bolt is able to easily vaporize asteroids mainly consisting of iron and some rock that have a size range of 60 - 100m in diameter ( sources: Star Wars episode 5 ) now, sure those are ISD's, but you have to consider that these began to be developed before the clone war ended, so you can say that medium sized turbolasers in republic era could pull that off aswell and venators were armed with 2 medium dual turbolaser batteries and 8 (yes fucking 8) heavy turbolaser batteries aswell as 4 proton torpedo tubes (which were designed to bypass enemy shields to inflict direct damage on the hulls). Also each Venator had onboard starfighters as support which consisted of 36 ARC-170 starfighters, which all had laser cannons that could punch through capital ship hulls aswell as its own proton torpedo launchers, aswell as 192 V-Wing Starfighters with rapidfire laser cannons.
      I'd say the republic has it favourable in this situation. We dont even know if EMP's actually would work on the technology of the star wars universe, as far as I know, its not even based on circuitry and more on crystaline systems.

It did 0 damage towards their the harvestors shields. The scenario between star wars and independence day is like comparing a poodle against an aircraft carrier.

      A single Independence Day shipped casually shrugged off a nuclear bomb. This was just a component of the mother ship in the first movie, which is smaller than the one used here which is the size of a continent.
      Their shields are too powerful and their size is too massive. Frankly even if the EMP did NOT work, it could still be a squash. Literally the mother ship could just crash through them and land on the planet.
      It would be especially devastating if the aliens used an emp on Coruscant itself, given the entire planet is a city.

Also the combined Power of the whole Jedi Order + Palpetine and Dooku is something the Aliens can't do anything against.
    3. If the Force users can sense the Queen (which will probably happen seconds after if not before the mothership arrives) they only have to get to see the queen. If they see the queen they could simply force choke the queen to death, stop her heart or kill the queen with force lightning. The Queen is no force user -> has no force shield -> can be kill with things like that without any difficulty. Only one force user has to have eye contact to kill the queen.

  • @erynncollier8672
    @erynncollier8672 Před 4 lety +1

    Three major issues with your projected conclusion, Eckhart.
    1. Star Wars has EMP type weapons.
    Standard shielding protects against them just as it does lasers and torpedoes. Additionally, vessels in that universe are designed to be able to recover from being subjected to these weapons. Assuming that the EMP does overwhelm the shielding of the defense fleet, they're still going to be able to recover relatively quickly and get back into the fight. The EMP wouldn't be permanent, more like a technological stun effect. The mothership would have to conventionally engage and destroy the defense fleet, otherwise they'd just keep up their barrage and eventually wear it down.
    2. Coruscant has a planetary defense shield.
    Planetary defense shields cover the entirety of a planet's surface, and weapons on the friendly side of the shield are able to fire through it without a problem. The mothership may be large, but Coruscant's shield is run by the power grid of an entire planet. There's just no comparison in terms of output. The mothership hasn't got the power to punch through. Coruscant itself could simply pummel the mothership with turbolaser fire with impunity unless the harvesters got creative.
    3. Coruscant isn't fighting alone.
    Due to the previous two points, the harvesters aren't going to be able to win this one quickly. Other planets are going to find out nearly instantly due to the holonet, and will respond in force. Corellian ships will likely be among the first and most powerful to show up, and will be nearly as numerous as Coruscant's own defense fleet. The more time passes, the more republic forces show up to the fight, and the smaller the harvesters' chances for success get.
    4.One ship can't fight off an entire galaxy.
    Even if the harvesters successfully take out Coruscant, they're still public enemy number one for the Star Wars galaxy. Nobody is going to let them go. Sooner or later, the mothership will be worn down and destroyed. Picking a fight with the Republic just isn't a good idea, even for Mandalorians.

    Great job on this video.

I don't know how this would work since I don't know if there's any sort of "Home Planet" Maybe they're both trying to conquer the same galaxy and bump in to each other? Maybe they're both going after the same planet? I think this would be an interesting video. P.S. Keep doing what you're doing!

    What I like to think about more, is dropping one Thing (from the Carpenter movie) or one Xenomorph Queen facehugger in the lower reaches of Coruscant. In either case, there would be a massive, quite possibly unstoppable infection before anyone even noticed there was something going on. They may be able to stop a Xenomorph invasion with significant losses, because you can kill a Xenomorph, but even a "dead" Thing can still infect people, I don't think they would be able to do anything about that. I think The Thing infection would reach critical mass down in the lower reaches before anyone could do anything about it. Eventually, the entire planet would have to be quarantined and possibly sterilized from orbit.

    @gloryknight1 Před 5 lety +2

    Just saw this video. I think this fight really comes down to two things. One is how strong the turbolasers are vs the hull armor of the Harvester ship. Two the republic has defenses vs EMP based attacks and whether or not they would be able to hold up to the blast but most of the star war systems are able to get back up after such an attack and resume what they were doing. I know wrong time period but easiest reference the rebels hit star destroyers with such a weapon so that type of technology would not be new.
    Now that being said the planets in star wars are usually defended by star fighters not capital ships. So I don't think with all the ships the harvester ship would be able to launch would stand much of a chance due to the large area the star fighters could launch from. The Harvester ship also has to land on the planet were a large garrison of clone troopers and Vehicles could simply land, grapple, or simply drive (not sure if you can drive on to it but they do have hover cars so...) on to the ship. i think the only real thing the Harvester ship has is surprise and how quickly they can get it done, while the republic just needs to delay until enough ship can arrive and overwhelm the Harvester ship.

    I rekon Star Wars probably has a solution to EMP and nuke based side effects given their space tech is mature by thousands of years, I bet EMP waves are even the less of a concern (see *not s concern at all) for Star Wars than they are for the Harvesters who must also have fixed the issue.
    I also agree with others who point out the relative power levels of Star Wars ships vs the Harvesters likely power levels kinda implies more an equal footing rather than the Harvesters being waay more powerful, If ole Palpy or the Jedi plus Palpatine wished to create some sort of force related storm or doo daa in the heart of the Harvester vessel or someone did a force choke at range like Vader could at range the Harvesters would run along home all the same - with zero reason to think any amount of shielding would save them - perused ofc by the largest fleet of Star Wars vessels ever seen outside of my imagination.
    I can almost hear the sound of someone revving up the engines on a death star prototype or something.

      Well, yes and no.
      Today it is possible to negate the effects of emp with sufficient preparation, we can shield against emp damage with current tech, I again doubt that a target of sufficient importance wouldn't be somewhat prepared to deal with such a basic attack.
      It seems from having a read about cannon uses of emp folks in universe have short range weapons mostly used on an anti personnel level because cap ships and anything shielded is also fine, at least so far as I've read since checking your comment.
