“I don’t know what they were trying to do, but it looked cool.” Perfectly sums up all military decisions in the Star Wars universe.

I think the Millenium Falcon might be the safest ship to be on with all this plot armor
Also considering it is ~90 years old now I think it is save to say, that it was pretty save for the most time.
Plus when Rey is on board that acts as some sort of multiplier for the plot armor, due to strong female character bullshit or whatever 😂
Gotta love plot armour.

Ah, sweet nostalgia
That was a fun map to play as CIS while playing the Droideka
Bro I fucked people up with the cloud car in the og bf. It was so fast with such a high rate of fire. Strafing runs on the platforms + ambushing enemy ships from the corner of the map.
It was good for survival when it got glitched and didn't blow up once you got shot down. I remember jumping out with a jet clone trooper and making back on to the platform when that happened (I was playing the PC version)
Corellian ship yards may make ugly ships, but they are fast. Especially the freighters. I hear tale of one scruffy looking guy using one to make the Kessel run in record time.
Actually, he made it in record distance.

8:14 - Ah yes: The ship that your aircraft designer sticks you with, if you pissed them off.
I always had a thing for B Wings. In the X Wing games I spent the most time in the B Wing. Nothing like approaching a Nebulon B or Star Destroyer with a flight of B Wings and unleashing salvos of torpedoes.
In the X wing games B wings were even OP. Powerful blasters, a lot of payload, great shields, decent speed and manuverability, and, if needed, diverting all the energy form the shields to the engines, they were even super fast.
The T-47 Airspeeder / Snowspeeder: It's the one craft which *isn't* equipped with plot armor to save a main character from getting shot down. In fact, unless your name is Wedge Antilles? Just stay away from it.
Gotta say, Wedge was one hell of a pilot. Outflew Luke consistently, and lived through the entire war and after despite not having the force.
@@custink22 He started as an Imperial pilot and, if you learned to survive flying a Tie-Fighter...
@@neutronalchemist3241 sounds about right. Wasnt Han an Imperial Pilot too? Or did they change that?
@@custink22 no they didn't. Most Rebel pilots were Imperial pilots who defected at various points, hence varying skills. A lot of Rebel pilots like Luke flew civilian craft like the T-16 that were also, whether they knew it or not, clandestine training craft for Rebel ships. Incom deliberately made the controls for the X-Wing extremely similar to the T-16 so there would be minimal training and learning curve for flying it.
@@chrismc410 glad to know they didnt change that. I knew about Rebel pilots being largely Imperial trained, and that Incom made the T-16 similar to the X-Wing.

The main issue for the B-Wing was, as you mentioned, rotating on the cockpit, but by the time of the Battle of Endor? They had simplified that mechanism to it's basic two positions of cruising and attack modes.
A-wings are awesome, in the X-wing alliance game they were unstoppable. :D
In that game I flew my B-wing at 1/3 throttle and used it as a turret :P

@Generation Tech I’ve been subscribed to this channel for some time now, and I’d like say thank you for all the time and effort put in to make these videos.
Any ship with Holdo as captain, I frown on kamikaze runs.
E wing fighter. It's own main weapon had a chance of blowing up on you, destroying your own craft.
Delta 7s did have shields you are thinking of the ships used in eps 3 opening.
it's called the eta3 interceptor if isremember
@@thecaspeer Eta-2
The first model of Eta-2s lacked shields, but the later one had them.
Do a series on the safest starships
LOL. Rather than serve on an SF-17 I think I'd just step out of the airlock without a pressure suit!
I quite like the A, Y, and B-wings. I'm already an unstoppable ace when I fly a Y-wing in the original Battlefront 2. (Y-wings weren't meant to take on a TIE interceptor but I can and succeed)
Y-Wing kills the TIE Interceptor in 1 hit in that game.
The mg star fortress should be higher on the list!!! I'd almost rather fly an ugly
I'd rather fly a paper airplane against the First Order while wearing only swimming trunks.
To be fair, the mg star fortresses were designed for mopping up stubborn garrisons that have very little or no anti-air firepower left so their deployment in TLJ is more or less misused, moreover, they were quite old by the time of TLJ and most of them were modified for non-combat purpose (cargo, fire-engine, deep-space exploration...etc)
The trouble with the ski speeder was that it was a recreational vehicle modified to be a fighter by the Rebel Alliance some 40 odd years before The Last Jedi. The Rebels abandoned them on Krait and the Resistance only used them because they had no other options.
Great video! Top 10 most dangerous speeders/ best speeders next? Please
You could sum it up by just stay away from TLJ.
Thumbs up for the YT-1300 series!
The Ski Speeder's may suck from a practical standpoint, but man are they fun to pilot in Battlefront 2. The dust clouds they kick up look freaking awesome, and I wish Crait was a map that you got to play more often.
I seem to recall a V-wing from Rogue Squadron, supposedly known for issues with overheating engines.
Personally, i like the "Deathraven", basically two b-wings joined by a single cockpit. It packs serious womp.
Good call, looks Brutal.
@@stevenquinlivan7096
Brutal...
But it doesn't look like an "ugly". But tough for a lone model bomber. I still probably prefer the arc-170, but the k is getting added to my wish list.
@@kylehoffman4305 i prefer a ship i had custom made b5 hammer head
I can Imagine flying a ship is probably #1 cause of most deaths the star wara galaxy...
Na if you factor in planets exploding via super weapon, sure it only happened a couple times but its billions of lives each time...
Zamugustar think about how many space battles there were though...
The Cloud Car looks to be inspired from the F-82 Twin Mustang. That was basically fusing two P-51 Mustangs together. Unlike the Cloud Car, the two pilots of the Twin Mustang could either fly or operate the weapons alternatively. The reason for fusing the two fighters was to increase range, which it did. It actually could fly from New York to Hawaii.
One improvement to the Cloud Car is to allow both occupants the ability to pilot and control the weapons. A much more practical solution is simply cut the Cloud Car in half and make each fuselage its own vehicle.
The Legends A-wing doesn't seem like a deathtrap. I'm still waiting on a video comparing legends starfighters (Eta-5/XJ-series X-wings/E-wings) vs Canon T-70/85 and RZ-2 fighters.
Don't forget Legends A wing Mark 2
I'm fairly certain the A-wing mark 2 was just a standard production model of the A-wing. Where the first model was made from other parts, and had no official production system. I would say the A-wing Mark 2 be considered the 'standard' A-wing in versus battles.
@@colekenney2965 I think the a wing Mark II standardised the upgrade that let them swivel the guns to point backwards
@@sammywhite5127 I'm fairly certain that's true. But I consider the main advantage of the A-wing mk II is the standardized materials and manufacturing. It allows the engines and weapons to be used more effectively.
Not to mention maintenance would be easier. Which makes ground crew happy. And happy ground crew is pretty important.
@@colekenney2965 I know it's pretty much just the original A-wing standardized but I just really want to see the A-wing Mark II kick the shit out of that ridiculous knock off from the new "Canon" where for some reason they thought it would be a good idea to make a ship that was already pretty much the fastest fighter in existence even faster at the expense of half its firepower and protection

In the OG battlefront 2 the Y wing had a secondary gun the rotated at 360 degrees. Good times.

Great video. I like the Porkins background screen.
@ 6:42.
Hey.
Why was the image of the falcon reversed??
Great feature though...
As far as star wars ships go I reckon the most dangerous ship to fly is probably a tie fighter. These things magnetise themselves towards anything you might crash into in the vastness of space without you even putting any input in the controls.
Lost so many good pilots in the death star battles from collisions, also in the asteroids in the hoth system chasing a clunky old freighter of all things.
Tie fighters of the empire were just not designed for combat, or use for that matter. I bet they were sold with a disclaimer.
The TIE Fighter used the same design philosophy as the B1 Battle Droids: Any enemy can be defeated if you throw enough cannon fodder at it. (And look how well that turned out).
@@Janoha17 could have worked if they'd just at least given the tie fighter some shields.
Milan Ondrak that’s why they developed better models like the tie defender and the tie advanced
Tie Defenders were amazing though
a note about the ski speeders, they were indeed deathtraps, but they were all that was left. kind of a "this probably won't work bu we have to try because it is all we got." they were leftover rebellion craft and were probably deathtraps back then, probably why they were left behind in flavor of the Air Speeder used on Hoth
The Star Wars saga, last home and bastion of the art of the 'Kit-bash'.
Best part is how some of those ships were actual plastic model kit-bashes

@@theheartlessknight2426 honestly yeah.
The cloud car was my favorite vehicle in the og Battle Front. It was so fast with such a high rate of fire you could just mow anything down with it.
2:00 To survive battle in a TIE Fighter you'd have to be a highly skilled pilot who could make maximum use of the ships speed and maneuverability, to avoid getting hit.
So the average imperial pilot
"But it did look cool."
No, it really didn't. I'll always remember that shitty salt speeder for Rose's impersonation of Porkins flying for the Imperial Japanese.
Stay away from Disney Canon. *That's* the real death trap.
Agreed
I mean maybe it just has to do with location but those endor speeders exploded sometimes even as main characters jumped off so...
The ski speeder's especially dangerous if you're stupid enough to fly straight at the enemy instead of flanking them.
Got no other choice- the salt speeders carry no armaments.
I always thought the A-Wings would be the perfect ships for Jedi.
A-wing was always my go-to in the original Rogue Squadron.
Eta-2 (Jedi starfighter from Ep3) was essentially predecessor of both TIE and A-Wing
Okay-- how bad are things for the Resistance if they're using MG-100s? With all those flaws, they'd be better off using recycled Y-wings. 🙂
They'd be better off with x-wing pilots suited up and tossing the bombs out by hand as they fly over.
@@MonkeyJedi99 I think they did something like that in an episode of MASH.
@@BennyLlama39 Right! The sputtering NK prop plane that always missed the camp, and Frank shot it down with his pistol (?) because he was mad at everyone else not doing anything about it.
as there are innumerable versions of a YT freighter design and the Millenium Falcon is iconic within the fandom, 6:42 is _not_ the Millenium Falcon... the Mirrorium Fauxcon, maybe.
Great video!! What would be the best ship to fly!!👍☯️👍
The next question is. What are the best ships to get? Most reliable, as well as packed the best punch.
1. X Wing in all her classy glory
2. Tie Defender because awesome
3. Slave 1, armor, shields, redundancy and dakka
4. K Wing, Moar Dakka! And screw everything in front of you
5. Mother Frackin Missile Boat!!
Most dangerous ship was one piloted by Wilhem.
Looks like the Delta 7 is for me! I currently pilot a Yammy F1, no ABS or computer aided Traction control for me
That slow dangerous bomber thing is really awesome because it’s so close to it‘s inspiration..! But exactly why anyone would use it against anything that can defend itself is beyond me…
In case you can't tell Legends>Canon.
Those skid speeders are an apt metaphor for the sequel trilogy as a whole: stupid and pointless no matter how you look at it.
now hold on just a sec
That TIE/Y-Wing looked pretty cool
If the Falcon actually had some time dedicated to repairs and upgrades, it could be a force to be reckoned with, even without plot armor
MultiMachinegunner it was a force to be reckoned with when it had a competent crew, even when I need of some repairs
It belongs in a museum? So do you!
So what ships are safe to pilot? I need to know just in case

To be fair, you can find death traps like those here on earth as well; you just have to go to the outer rim....ie, Alabama.
Plenty of cobbled together monstrosities people are riding around in out in the sticks!
You ever ride in a Datson 240Z with the un made from two care and the engine and transmission from another brand of car? Terrifying. And this was in Massachusetts.
Oh! I also got to ride in the back of a Dodge Ramcharger that had a floating piece of 1/2 plywood for a floor in the back (about half the size of the floor it was replacing), and I was sitting on two stacked milk crates on that plywood as we took back roads and turns at 45MPH +. How am I alive>

I love the background lol
Just a heads up, the delta 7 DID have shields. It was the eta 2 that didnt have shields. Also, the jedi didnt consider either ship a bad combat vessel or unsafe. In fact they jedi mainly used them because their force skills allowed the fighters to be piloted while minimizing its shortcomings.
Also, the falcon's failing hyperdrive was a "write-in" and used to give the ship character. It never had structural issues. It was modified to do exactly what Han wanted it to be: able to either out run anything bigger than it OR outgun anything smaller.
About the bwing. The cockpit spinning feature was able to be locked in place by the pilot, negating the issue of spinning... The REAL issue with the b-wing was that it was costly to maintain...THATS IT.
Dude...
DO YOU EVEN STAR WARS?
Any ship that Rose Tico is within a thousand yards of.
She’s an engineer that helped keep the Raddus running...
I honestly think the MG-100 Star Fortress gets a bad rap for no reason. What happened in the space battle in episode 8 was a fluke. A TIE fighter just happened to crash inside the ship just when it opened the bag doors which caused all the bombs, strong enough to blow up a dreadnaught, to blow up simultaneously. Then there was a domino effect of debris hitting the other ships nearby. The ship itself packs quite the punch and has multiple gunner positions to protect it. It’s the pilots fault for flying so close together, the ship really isn’t that bad
The B wing was nice. The only problem was the difficulty to fly. Also Y wings were supposed to be safe with the escape pod. But rebels getting rid of the turret was a bad idea.
New to your channel; great list video.
First impression of the SF-17 in theatre was the completly impractical idea of gravity-dependent ordinance for use in limited or zero-gee environments. I know the excuse for this abomination is 'magnetic guidance' to put bombs on target but there's no chance magnetic-based targetting would get those bombs out of the racks in the first place. All in all, while I can't help appreciating the appealing visuals and flair of The Last Jedi's ships/vehicles, it still epitomises the expression, 'style over substance.'
Kudos for the vid. You have a good format and great narrating voice.
I though the bombs were just launched magnetically (like a rail gun), not magnetically attracted to ships. Magnetic attraction wouldn't work anyway, the bombs would just attract each other and blow up, or worse attract to the SF-17 that launched them!
@@scottthewaterwarrior I've looked over those racks so many times trying to make sense of it. They're basically just holding the ordnance in place until release; no propulsion.
The Falcon may be a death trap but she's got it where it counts.
Damn it. Why the B-Wing??? I love the B-Wing fighter.
Just imagining what flying such a ship would be like gives me a nose bleed. Aesthetically awesome, but the gyro cockpit would be a bear to get used to.
I consider the cloud cars one of the most beautiful star wars ships. It just didn't make sense to have the twin fuselages.
Have you done a video on ships that are a character's home? Or,which ships would be good to live on?
A YT 1300 is only factory spec until it's first owner. That was a major selling point.
B-wing fighter was cool to watch in star wars rebels. Hey!
Have you flown one?
Lol
The Resistance was trying to survive. The speeders were literally the only thing they had at that rundown old base that was larger than a pistol or rifle.
Sorry but that doesn't make sense those speeders don't have guns on them or if they do they didn't fire them so what was the point in using them, I mean besides the obvious of allowing the obnoxious full of himself hack director from wanking off to his "revolutionary" idea of contrasting white and red
@@sammywhite5127 that whole film was a mess of inconsistences and concepts that didn't make any sense even for the SW universe.
Well a ugly can be good if its well made, that is rare tough.
that is true, from a mechanical standpoint the idea behind Uglies is a lot like the C.E.C. ships, something that can fly till its hits something; the real problem behind Uglies is that you typically have a desperate/half baked/drunken mechanics teams throwing together combat damaged scraps with little to no time to work out any potential bugs and hoping the welding will hold it together instead of a ship that was built based off of good planning and good parts.
Then again, Early E-wings were not that great and they were designed and built by professionals.
Tri fighter, X ceptor and even X Tie ate decent fighters.
The eta-2 actis intercepter i would put in the same range as the tie fighter and the a-wing.
I just want to say spinning is a great trick and the b wing does it best keeping the cockpit steady while spinning the body for the best kill position. Only thing better then a b wing is the ugly version with a corellion yt cockpit so you can go spinning with your friends.
Podracers are also some of the most dangerous things to pilot as any scumbag tactics are allowed to dispose of your opponents and due to their speed, the race route itself can become a death trap...
