The Millennium Falcon is Overrated 'Junk'?

The Millennium Falcon is a great ship. And yet, I don't want one. What I'd like is a completely different light freighter.

Personally, I'm not the greatest mechanic. There are things I'd be able to handle on my own, but really I need a helping hand. Or a dozen of them.

It's so enjoyable to get some well thought out lore comparisons and thought about the details that make star wars so immersive in the first place

[johncoppinger]

This is a nearly perfect example of the "quintescential nerd conversation". Way more detail than is really needed. But perfectly and meticulously supported. Loved the video, bring my back to arguing with my cousins over which ship in the TIE-FIGHTER dog fighting game we would rather personally own.

You didn’t need to call us Shadows of the Empire fans out

2:31 "How does one acquire such military grade equipment?" Well, you see...
~First the players need to determine what kind of military grade equipment they want (common or rare, old vs current vs experimental, overall quality, which faction's military, etc.).
~Then the GM needs to gauge the difficulty of obtaining it based on the above criteria and the overall cost.
~Next the players check their talent trees to see if they "know someone" and/or have other perks that will either lower the difficulty or upgrade their dice pool.
~Finally, if the players have enough credits and succeed in their roll, then they'll get such military grade equipment.


I'm sorry, these videos really make me geek out on Fantasy Flight's Star Wars tabletop games.

@19:48 Anakin's Custom Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor "Azure Angel", from the original Clone Wars series, has a centrally mounted Astromech forward of the cockpit.

I really like a Star Wars lore channel that isn't just reading off wookipedia articles. That was fun.

[Agarricus]

19:54 I believe the clone wars animated show has a number of centrally mounted astromech droids in delta 7's, whether you consider that a reliable source or not is another question

[VestedUTuber]

The ship with a class 0.6 hyperdrive is the Jade Shadow. It was a SoruSubb Horizon-class star yacht originally owned by Mara Jade. After the fall of the Empire and Mara Jade joining the New Jedi Order (and eventually starting a relationship with Luke Skywalker), Mara and Luke had Han upgrade the ship's hyperdrive - which Han gladly did on the grounds that he wouldn't make it faster than the Falcon.

I play a Star Wars MUD (for the uninitiated a MUD is a text based online game) where you can design your own ships. Everyone wants something of the approximate size and function as the millennium falcon because its just the right size for anything. It can haul small amounts of cargo if you are bored and want menial work to make money, Large enough to chew up fighters and survive against something bigger until you jump into hyperspace, large enough for spacious living quarters and small enough that you do not need a crew if you do not want to.

[BigStrap]

Can't say I'd heard of the Ghtroc 720, but it looks like a charming ship! There's no way it wasn't sea turtle inspired.

[fadelsukoco]

4:48 The Acclamator class assault ship had a hyperdrive rating of 0.6, which is insane because such things would be decades-old by the time of the OT and was a mass-produced light capital warship.

[Niflheimrr_EL]

A heavily modified SoroSuub Horizon-class Star Yacht. Call it the Emerald Shade or something like that. Maybe keep a Z-95 Headhunter in the aft docking bay. Definitely a R9 astromech and maybe a jedi spouse.

This is exactly the kind of theorizing I love. I will watch your career with great interest

[mileator]

This is my favorite kind of content. This is how you do self inserts. Normally self inserts are hated, and for good reason.

Media is plagued with god-like Mary Sue's and Marty Stu's, as it is... all simultaneously existing in a vacuum bubble outside of canon.

But this... This is well thought out, well researched, transparently honest, and wholly immersive.

I really, really, love these kinds of self-insert thought experiments. Especially when you run down the cost. That's as real as real can get.

Looking forward to seeing more... essays... for lack of a better word... done in this style.

This could be considered pedantic, but with regard to the complaint about anakin’s starfighter, please pause the video at 20:37; if you look at the bottom of the port side wings on both obi wan and anakin’s ships, they have a small sidecar compartment, one which has enough space for the body of an R2 unit; the compartment is also visible in the previous shot, on mustafar, where there appears to be enough space for R2 inside if we take the measurement from the first frame with R2 fully ejected and account for the roughly 15 degree change of direction R2 is performing in midair.
Another piece of evidence, albeit slightly less solid due to it being from a toy and not the films, is the lego set for “anakin’s jedi interceptor” which i had as a kid, that had a compartment for R2 in the wing much like the ones on the ships in the video, and if you dont believe me, feel free to search the quoted name and see for yourself.

[RafaelHabegger]

There's a channel idea I'd watch: Top Gear SW
Edit: I only made it to 7:01 before writing a comment. I like your style.

[MalachiCo]

14:58 slight correction, R5 was never stated in anything canonical to have done this. It came from one comic that was written as a joke. The same comic said he was force sensitive too, so I'm not sure it's the most reliable source, and that's honestly by design.

[desmond]

I wish more stuff like this was on YouTube, this dnd style customization I just love

[halt]

I've been loving your videos lately, shocked to see you only had 5k subscribers. Keep it up!

_edit: yes I wrote a comment before the six minute mark what does that have to do with anything-_

R4 in the delta 7 obi wan pilots in AOTC is an intergrated droid that was just a head that couldnt be removed from the ship. There was no body casing and legs with the body internals kept within the hull. As for R2D2 in ROTS that is a mistake.
