They would've gotten away with it if wasn't for that meddling Skywalker and those damn droids
LOL OMG! almost choked on my coffee ☕️
i dont think they cursed in scooby doo
lol
Dolphins are no threat. They have an exhaust port and are grey, so they are basically aquatic Deathstars and can be destroyed in a similar way. Also, if they master walking on land they will still never be able to learn how to use stairs. Escalators maybe.
Omg ur right
And guys... they dont have hands or ANYTHING remotely like them. So they cant fight us on land. They cant hold weapons. Or most anything that can be used as one. Most them wouldnt even be able to learn vast Majority of the worlds martial arts forms since they dont have either arms and hands or legs and feet. So they should see reason and that the Dolphins will never beat us.
Even as cats have manipulated humans into all sorts of servile actions--just look at food varieties and their dominance on the Internet--dolphin could also manipulate us into adapting weapons to their body forms. We almost already do. PC and CZcams precludes elaborating, and this whole fantasy stuff isn't worth the getting gigged.
I have a few steps up to my front door. It used to annoy me. Now it suddenly makes me feel safe.
Most humans haven't figured out how to use escalators. I feel much safer now.
Giving away weakpoints..?

How about 10 flaws with humans?
Their name sounds like Adolf
One big exhaust port instead of a bunch of small ones
To be fair that was purposeful sabotage from Galen Erso.
I mean, considering the size of the Death Star, making the exhaust port for a moon sized station only 2 meters wide is already a minor miracle. Even if it was later retconned as a trap.
In A New Hope the target exhaust port was described as being *right below the main port* indicating that it was one of the hundreds, or even thousands, of primary and secondary exhaust ports scattered across the station's structure. A station the size of the Death Star would logically need more than just two exhaust ports with the amount of waste heat it was likely generating simply from day to day operations, never mind firing the superlaser.
@@TruePacifist201 "it housed a laser that blew up planets! It needs a lot of ventilation!"
That's exactly what I meant.
One of my favorite quotes from Stargate SG1 is, “This is a weapon of terror,” in referance to the Goauld’s battle staves (which were inaccurate and ineffective) and, “This is a weapon of war,” in reference to the P90 submachine gun. This quote perfectly sums up the contrsting beliefs of Palpatine and Thrawn. Palpatine belived that the Death Star, star destroyers, and other ineffective weapons, needed to be as terrifying as possible to prevent rebellion (you saw how well that went). Thrawn, on the other hand, strongly opposed the Death Star because he knew how inferior it was to a large armada. In the end, Palpatine was a politician; not a Tactician; that is the true reason why the Empire fell.
Look at it this way. Alderran was probably infested with dolphins. Maybe it was worth all of the effort? :)
Weren't dolphins near extinction when Coruscant layer 23 was built? Also I lived there there were no dolphins there.

Star Wars quote of the week 'Disney cannon seems really confused'
Disney doesn't care
I mean, it’s not like pre Disney cannon was any less confused
Dude did you see legens
Unknown Unknown At least it was nicer to Watch/read.
@Joshua Tupper Yet Rogue One was one of the greatest Star Wars films ever, and probably the most coherent from a plot perspective, even fixing a major plot hole. The characters had thought out motivations and it has the greatest Vader scene ever.
Yet the Rebel leads were a English woman, a Mexican male, two Asian men, a English Pakistani man, and a scary elderly Black man. The only white American was a robot.
The SJW complaint is just an excuse for inadequate white males who are so delicate that the can't even stand the idea of a movie in which all the cast doesn't revolves around the greatness of a white male. And both new canon films included white males as the alpha good guys anyway, Han in The Force Awakens, and Luke in The Last Jedi.
Has anyone considered that the new Disney canon is crap because it's crap, and it would still be crap if the casting of the good guys had been a pale sausage fest.
So do you agree that Rogue One was a great film?
I count 11 as Kyle hill from Because Science found that the laser is so powerful that it would push the station backwards at .5c in 5 seconds enough to turn the entire crew into red paste.
i watched that and i bet the death star has way more than 11 flaws
You are forgetting about the artificial gravity. The same artificial gravity that easily prevents crews from being crushed by a ships acceleration, turning, and braking maneuvers. That way, no matter what the ship does, the crew can walk around just like they can on a stationary surface. Only unanticipated moves, like hits from outside objects or energy weapons, would be a problem.
@@oldtimefarmboy617 still think the outcome is the same as the hyperdrive is inactive during firing. Meaning the laser is sole thrust to that speed.
The hyperdrive accelerates a ship to speeds far faster than light and then decelerates to far less than light when turned off. If you can create gravity then you can also manipulate it, as is shown in Star Wars by having different parts of a ship with different gravity strengths and in multiple directions. Since the ship's or Death Star's computer knows what is going to happen and when, it is a simple matter of creating a gravity field of the necessary strength and direction to negate the laser's effect.
1. Death Star probably has thrusters to counteract the normal force from firing, just like all star destroyers.
2. Like it was said before, if the artificial gravity can handle hyperspace speed acceleration and deceleration, it can adjust to a 0.5c push back also...
8:45 "Deathstar was a place only the elite where stationed." *bangs head on the door* best script timing ever :D
There was actually a story about that
10 Flaws with Grand Moff Tarkin.
In addition, besides the flaws of his doctrine, his destruction of Scarif base was all about eliminating a personal rival and not about the security of the Death Star plans. He destroyed a important facility, and the evidence of how the station had been sabotaged, it was left sitting in the transmission tower! (Along with Krenic, who had been told). An analysis of the data that had been sent would have revealed what the vulnerability was, instead of relying on the dubious success of recapturing the plans from the rebels so they can see what was so vital on them.
Tarkin had compromised the investigation repeatedly by withholding intelligence from Krenic, to only revel it in public to embarrass him, instead of informing him of the issue sooner when he could have dealt with it more efficiently. So he even compromised the attempts to investigate espionage just to destroy another officer.
Ersno could not have gimped the Death Star without Tarkins unwitting help, and the great disappointment in all this is the destruction of the Death Star was so quick that he probably didn't have time to realise how severely he had screwed himself.
In rebels he seemed more interested in the Tie Defenders, but that may have been because he really hated Krenic.
Tarkin has always been too arrogant for his own good, ironically committing the same sort of mistakes he often accuses the Core World Elites of.
Erso made the kyber crystal create energy from thin air. Maybe that’s what it appeared to him and his team. Most likely, he got the crystal to draw energy from the Cosmic Force into itself. Much like how jedis and siths draw power from it, albeit artificially.
Or maybe the kyber crystal just magnified the power inputed
They make it sound like it was getting no outside power to magnify at all. Meaning they didn't attach it to a generator or such.
Yaboi Shelboi that requires creating more energy, which is impossible.
It is stated in canon that kyber crystals can store and amplify energy.
Mecha-san ok den physics need not apply
An asteroid wouldn't have made the job. It would have collapse while they were carving it out. A planetoid would have been much more interesting (like Ceres in our solar system).
Luc Fauvarque it's like Armageddon. The gravity is too unpredictable
So, a small moon?
@@Janoha17 Exactly.
Agreed but we don't have the ability to turn Ceres into a death star yet
so the gravity of an entirely artificial +100 mile wide super structure that is nowhere near as solid as an asteroid doesn't have (realistically) unpredictable gravity?
I always believed that the Empire was simply so overconfident in their superweapon that they never thought of it as a target. It would make sense for Egos to the likes of Tarkin and Palpatine to assume that nobody would ever dare attack their gigantic battlestation. Thus, it really didn't need all that much protection in their eyes, for it was protected by the fear it generated.
On lacking shields and point defense, they didn't have it because they believed fighters only could do cosmetic damage. Indeed had Galen Erso not rigged the exhaust port & reactor the Empire would have been right.
No shields, no railings. Palpatine loved to play dangerous games... with other people's lives, and the scary thing is, many of them accept these risks for they are so indoctrinated.
A real sadist, that Palpatine.
10 flaws of the tarkin doctrine.
#1 the Tarkin Doctrine
It exists
Structuring the ship acquisition to make make money for imperial officials rather than building a well balance and effective fleet.
Its funny cause in his speech Dubbed "the Tarkin Doctrine" He said the failure of the republic was too many senators pursuing their own self interests rather than the Interests of the Republic.
#2 Tarkin
Particle shields can only stop high-velocity moving objects. As long as something is moving slower than approximately 5 miles per hour, it'll just pass straight through the shield.
InventorZahran 327 that’s fairly detrimental when you’re a fighter pilot.
Prius is the way to go then
@@boulderaidanthe1st100 they could just slow down?
Wait, 5 mph? How slow are torpedoes and starfighters moving if a torpedo is capable of passing through a fighter's particle shield? I thought a single MGLT was like 640 mph?
@@rookiedrifter4273 I wonder if the fact that proton torpedoes seem to be covered in some kind of energy coating allows them to pass through particle shields more easily? Wookieepedia better have an explanation for this! *Time to ReSeArCh*

EmeraldTools10 1. Really using wooosh on CZcams? 2. You have a roblox profile picture you are in no position to judge anyone.
Mason Sir, you have spoken the truth and I salute you.
Something I've been wondering is how far away was the Millenium Falcon from the Death Star when it was caught in the tractor beam. The Death Star looked tiny when Han realized they couldn't get away, yet it's about 160 km wide, but was so far away it didn't take up the whole field of view from the cockpit.
I'm glad you didn't say the exhaust port itself was the weak point, a deliberate weakness in the reactor shielding kind of makes sense.
Don't know if this is right but, I think ray shields let heat through while other shielding doesn't, so that's why the empire used the ray shields I think.
"So long, and thanks for all the fish!"
Can you do 10 flaws of dolphin tactics
The fact that it exists is a flaw itself
They could build squadrons of dreadnoughts and tie defenders
@@asilturkklc171 Even Thrawn was saying that they should build more ISD and escort ships instead wasting money on SSD. If he known about Death Star he most likely wasn't pleased with stupidity of this project.
At least it isn’t as bad as the starkiller base
The Tarkin Doctrine was the dumbest thing ever.
I second that.
The motion carries
They should have listened to Thrawn and Tagge. Create large fleets rather than a Death Star
What is really, really dumb about it, is that they stuck with it, even after Tarkin died. It's not like there was still a internal political motive for carrying on with it.
And it had just been spectacularly disproved.
casbott The Empire was right for the galaxy. I miss them
Never ending amusement from you linking "only the elite stormtroopers" line with the film clip of the stormtrooper bonking his head on the bottom of the door. Just THAT elite. :)
When you mentioned the cost of the Death Star In comparison to other things the empire could have spent tax-payer money, I couldn’t help but think of that one Robot Chicken skit where The Emperor got a call from Lord Vader about the bad news with the Death Star.
“Oh oh! Just rebuild it?! Oh real fucking original! And who’s going to give me a loan jackhole? You?! Is there an ATM on that Torso Lite-Bright?!”

Shoutout for pointing out (12:00) that slave labor is actually generally less efficient than market processes (in addition to being evil AF).
Then why is capitalism based on wage slavery??
Chattel slaves don't get paid for their labor...but they do get free room and board.
Wage slaves get paid...but only enough (or less than enough) to pay for room and board.
That system isn't as morally superior as you think.

Forgive me, but I must fanboy.
There are no flaws with the X-Wing fighter. It was, without a doubt, the best and most versatile fighter ship ever created by Incom inc. It had almost the same top speed as the A-wing, but far better shields, it was more heavily armed than the A-wing as well. It was capable of hyperspace travel, (TIE's were not) It was nearly twice as fast as the Y-wing bomber, and also had Proton torpedoes, although did not have Ion cannons. It was designed as the "one ship for any use". It could intercept, and it could be used for bombing runs (Luke and the first DS)
The A-wings and Y-wings were built for specific purposes. A's were Interceptors and Y's were heavy bombers.
X's, could do it all.
B-wings, were bombers. A more advanced, newer design than the old Clone War era Y-Wings.
Mike Borsum you can’t say that there are *no* flaws because the price is insane around 3 times the price of a tie and for a low fund faction like the rebellion maybe a tie would’ve actually been better.
And Darth Vader suit
This is an excellent video. Good work!
Couldn’t think of any flaws with the Death Star before video. 10/10.
If I had to create an imperial military:
1. Gunships. Many, many gunships. Heavy cannons capable of blowing holes in Mon Calamari cruisers, and lots of PDCs. Being light and nimble makes them cheap and extremely destructive.
2. Missile cruisers loaded with particle annihilation missiles. Because destroying a whole fleet just takes too long most of the time. Like torpedos on a destroyer.
3. Carriers. Fighters take too long to deploy and there are too few of them: dedicated carriers could swarm the skies with space superiority.
4. Medium cruisers. Bigger guns than the gunships, but cheaper than battleships.
5. Battleships. Who needs PDCs: just have shields like a tank, similar armor, and fighters. Plus guns to blow a Mon Calamari cruiser back to where it came from.
6. Ground bombardment ships: vast craft designed to (at least) blow up cities, or (at most) planets. Only used when all enemies have been neutralised in space.
Damn rebels will never see me coming.
So your gunship is basically just a destroyer. Also the Imperial Star Destroyer does the job of all of those ships you have there!
Do your ships have anti-Dolphin weapons?
With content like this you should have more subs than 276k you should have like a few million subs
I can explain the shield and point defense problems: single pilot fighters weren't considered a threat to something that big so point defenses were minimal and Tarkin didn't bother ordering the energy shields raised at Yavin.
8:44 I love the delivery of humor in these videos.
The dolphins have contacted me with a message, hoping to stave off misunderstandings and end the threat of war. The message is:
"Kikkittikkititti kikkittitkkit tikkitkkitkrrikkittitkkit."
I hope that clears things up.

“The habitable planets are rare”
Seriously? Almost every planet in Star Wars has an atmosphere that is breathable by almost every race. And given the amount of aliens, there’s definitely a lot of habitable worlds

Kyber is a force sensitive material. And the force is a giant universal deposit of energy
THANK YOU!!!!!!! While you did mention Gailen's supposed sabotage you did not spend much time on a port that is surprisingly small for the amount of exhaust one would expect and was shielded as best as could be while doing its job and was tucked away in a theoretically untouchable crevasse.
Umm lets see.
Instead of improving and advancing star destroyer design like any normal naval/space power...they build a gigantic station.
Think about it, if the Imperials had Starfleet's (Trek) mentality for engineering & advancing technology, the Rebels wouldn't stand a chance, stagnating your military prowess for one weapon system is abhorently stupid. Imagine, the TIE fighter getting a snub fighter overhaul. Developing plasma based weapons (phasers) instead of lasers. Sheild rotation and integration, including advancing hyperdrive efficientcy (navi computer wise), eliminate the need for droids etc etc. The Imperial Fleet would be able to counter any threat and the Civil War would be a flash in the pan.
The phasers in the star trek prime timeline are particle weapons though. They aren't closer to lasers.
@Mario Perez In other words, phasers are lasers, full stop.
@@archentity Strictly speaking they're 'Phased MASERS'
How do phasers work?
@Mario Perez
I belive a MASER is just a microwave laser (microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.)
The high energy plasma shockwave produced by destroying a planet like that would also devastate the inner solar system with the force of a minor nova. If Earth had been targeted it would have scoured the atmosphere from the inner planets, should they not be hidden behind the sun, which would also hiccup as it got blasted with dust.
A Death Star minus the weapons does have uses as industrial centres and as artificial planets/Eucmenopolis, build one as a weapons, one as a Mobile fleet HQ/shipyard and crank out artificial habitats. The latter civilian uses would end up paying for the Death Star.
The Death Star had no shields, only a few openings that were protected by energy fields, this was supposedly down to power requirements. I call BS on the excuse only done for plot purposes.
A single Kardashev 2 civilisation could not only hammer the Empire as the equivalent of the UN entire going all out after a toddler, (yes, a single toddler) but could fund a Dearth Star via crowd funding, and it would not even have to be that poplar a cause to raise the funds.
The fact is that build those artificial planet-Eucmenopolis could have not only created new markets but increased the available "worlds" to live on and strengthen the galactic economy. The "Super Mining Station" (Oooooh, a Death Star by any other name would smell as sweet?) could then rubble unwanted planetary bodies for extensive mining and construction work. People would have gotten used to such a machine being about and over time may have been able to clear new hyperspace corridors as a long term plan.
Imaging the raging the rebels would have done against "the planet killer" that never killed planets anyone wanted and made new places for everyone to live and thrive. The Rebels would have attacked and looked like fanatical murderous lunatics no one could reason with. GAME OVER : Rebel Scum.
Hence why Tarkin's choice to destroy Alderaan was the beginning of the end for the Empire.
I agree; building something that large should have meant that planets are obsolete, since you should be able to fit at least 500 million people comfortably into something the size of the death star, if not more, and been a inspiration to build more and more of them.
Hell, tourism alone to a mobile world like the death star would help offset the costs;god knows I'd gleefully spend YEARS exploring the nooks and crannies of just a small section of it.
And if the death star had truly been meant to bring order, then it could have accomplished it just by EXISTING; a galaxy wide icon, saying " we are the empire; we can manufacture WORLDS.... can your civilization do that?!"
And as a species wide icon for Humanity it would have unified; Humanity could look to it and think "we built that;what can't we do?"
But the moment Tarkin fired it at a inhabited planet, much less one as revered by, essentially, EVERYONE, instead of being a symbol of accomplishment and pride, it showed the galaxy just how dangerous humanity was!
I couldn't help but think about the Darksaber Project when you were mentioning using just the superlaser and not the rest of the station.
I have only just started watching videos on this channel a couple weeks ago. Each video is unique and enjoyable, I personally have enjoyed your alternate endings and story arcs on the prequel trilogy. That being said I would like to see you do a video on an order 66 or other related topic that focuses more on the clones. The clones still had emotions and independent thought which I believe would have created conflict internally for them like it would for any human being. For clones such as Bly, Rex and Gree we are told that they were constantly conflicted with the order to the point Rex removed it and deserted. In an alternate story where say Anakin kills Palpatine before the order is executed but then when the Jedi are named traitors by a Chancellor Skywalker and must flee. The the clones are commanded to hunt down the Jedi without the execution of order 66 they are not forced to kill them. This would cause a conflict not only between these brothers in arms but internally also. You see clone leaders such as Bly, Gree, Rex and even maybe entire battalions such as the 104th "Wolfpack" who had a close bonds with the Jedi such as Plo Koon. As a result they would began to choose sides. Some choose the Jedi while others such as perhaps Cody would remain loyal to the Republic whom they were raised to serve. As a result later on you have a sizeable clone force personally protecting Padmé, her children and the last Jedi. This is just an idea of course because I have always loved the clone characters developed in the Clone Wars series which makes it hard to watch Revenge of the Sith. I know as a soldier your comrades can quickly become your family on the battlefield especially if you are a tight knit unit.
Is there really a "dolphins will take over the world conspiracy?"
Dolphins won’t be able to defeat us. They may attack us, but if they do, they’re dead.
That’s the spirit
in the old canon, han solo meets the designer of the dearth star at a secret imperial research station hidden in the maul cluster. where she is horrified to learn of its destruction, and explains that it was designed as a mining station that would blow a dead planet to bits the tractor in the resulting ore for processing.
Really hope you do a video on the Tarkin Doctrine in the future, bet you’d find way more then 10 flaws though.

There is a book that was put out in the early to mid 90's (can't remember the title) in where Kipp Duran, one of Luke Skywalker's students, was fleeing from Kestle station and flew in to the Maw, a black hole cluster. Inside the Maw he found the prototype to the Death Star, although still just the skeleton of the station. Most the scientists and engineers inside the Maw stations was told that they was designing a new asteroid mining facility. The super laser on the station they was told was to be used to break up larger asteroids and uninhabited planets to make mining easier. Part of the reason for the size of the Death Star that the engineers was told was to house all the mining equipment and have the ability to bring in the smaller chunks is asteroids into the station for processing.

Great video Allen, as always and your humor, sometimes i have to pause and think if you are really serious lol. Anyways i'd like to ask you something for a while now, please pay attention to the way you talk, sometimes you talk with your "mouth shut" and it is a bit hard to keep track to what your saying sometimes.
About the video itself, most of it is answered by the Tarkin Doctrine as you pointed out. Indeed Tarkin underestimated the Rebels and citizens across the galaxy when he ordered the destruction of Alderaan, if you ask me i don't believe that even Palpatine had gave his permission for such thing, at least so early on.
Don't like Starlkiller Base being built on a planet, i prefer the Death Star with. The only true major design flaw was the thermal exhaust port and imperial arrogance.

I once tried to write an article for Cracked about this very subject. I had some similar points.
First, it's too big. I calculated that to get from the hanger bay to the Bridge, would require someone to travel at 700 miles per hour for a full 15 minutes.
The cost. To build would cost the Earth equivalent of 15 septillion dollars.
The effects of destroying a planet, while being anywhere near it. ; Not only would blowing up a planet cause a gravity well, that would likely crush the DS, but the debris and chunks of planet would be propelled in all directions into the vacuum of space.
This would almost certainly destroy the battlestation.
You can't just go anywhere with it: The DS was a mobile station. It had a hyperdrive and would have used the same routes as any other hyperspace-capable ship. Something the size of the DS traveling in the same hyperspace "lanes" would almost certainly come out of hyperspace into "traffic". Imagine a 747 traveling down a 2-lane country road, and you get the idea.
10 FLAWS with the AT-TE!
UNPROTECTED GUNNER ON THE MAIN GUN.
That man is Sniper bait.
THE GLASS WINDOW FOR THE PILOT.
Big Ole green "Shoot AT here to disable" spot.
Btw CZcams has removed ICards as they're not in videos anymore
I love the dolphin hatin!
But I think you could do more to acknowledge the threat porcupines pose to humans!
Main reason for death star was to concentrate emperor's power and create powerful deterrent/fear factor. It was mainly political move, kind of like dome uselessy grand projects made by corrupt countries.
This is also reason for it's size, it's so emperor has more control over his subjects.
You had me at "and is hosted by a guy named Alan."
A wonderful opening to the video😂
should do a video on 10 flaws with the X-wing
Obiwan kenobi was seen in the New Hope turning of the shield generators. Why nobody onboard noticed the shields were down especially after enemy fighters were swarming into the trench on a unshielded death star is a miracle alone.
YOU ARE AN AWSOME CZcams DUDE
I remebered in the Classic Battlefront 2 campaign the 501st went after an experimental Mygeetan power source that the Chancellor wanted for his "Super Laser"
Nice on getting 420k subscribers
8:46 still love that they didn't take the scene out back then xD
So long and thanks for all the fish.
to quote the death star novel, despite its size the death stars energy was not infinite it couldn't power both the shield and super laser at the same time, tarkin made the decision to focus energy at the laser and relied on the turbo gunners defense of the station
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
"The Sith had much more humane ways of cleansing entire planets"
*laughs in Darth Vitiate*
Amazing video but can you create 10 great fractures for the Death Star
You should do 10 flaws with star killer base
Alan, how come sometimes you turn to head off screen after a shot sometimes?
Are there any plans to do something on Mandalorians ie; society ,armor, weapons and customs?
Do a video on 10 flaws of a providence class cruiser
It actually had shields, because in A New Hope, they take out a deflection tower during the battle.
how does the death star move, I never see any thrusters on it, does it use some sort of gravity trust to get around?
Do one on the Venator
