EVERY Super Weapon in Star Wars Explained [Legends + Canon]
Показать описание
Star Wars is known for it's crazy super weapons, with the Death Star being one of the most iconic designs in all of Sci-Fi. On the big screen we have seen the death star 1 and 2 as well as the super hyped up death star, Star Killer Base in the new trilogy. When exploring legend, we find that these were not the first super weapons in the galaxy, nor were they close to being the most powerful. This video will explore every single Star Wars super weapon from both legends and canon. This will be one of my longer videos so as usual, grab and drink and a snack before we begin. I’ve roughly ordered this list from least to most powerful, so make sure to stick around until the end to find out about the most powerful superweapon, and spoilers, you’ve probably never even heard of it.
And before we begin, a quick reminder. I’ll be annoucning the VF Sabers lightsaber giveaway winner later on in the video. I’ll also be explaining the rules of the next lightsaber giveaway. This time we’ll be giving away my favourite saber, the revanchist. Anyway, back to the video.
Electro-proton bomb
The electro-proton bomb, created by Republic engineers, essentially acted as a massive EMP grenade. It was meant to be dropped from bombers into the frontlines, releasing a powerful electromagnetic pulse shock wave capable of crippling or eliminating any type of droid or vehicle within the explosion radius. When the Confederacy of Independent Systems sent a huge invading force to Malastare to capture its fuel deposits, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine approved the deployment of the electro-proton bomb. Doctor Sionver Boll told everyone gathered that the weapon would only impact droids and would not damage clone troops or any other biological creatures. To destroy the huge army of battle droids that had invaded their homeworld, the local Dugs consented to the choice. Although the bomb was effective in eradicating the Separatist menace, Doge Nakha Urus was concerned that it would have a negative impact on the delicate balance of Malastare's ecology. As most of you will already know, this device had an unforeseen consequence. It awoke one of the ancient Zillo Beasts that were long believed to be extinct, although that's a story for another day.
Null Cannon
A similar technology was developed thousands of years before the Clone Wars during the Old Republic Cold War era. Known as Null Cannons, they worked by launching energy bursts that rendered hostile technology, like as starships, entirely inoperable. A prototype was present among the Republic Navy fleet on Hoth before it crashed during the battle against the Sith Empire.
Metal-Crystal Phase Shifter
Another superweapon that was developed to disrupt machinery and droids was the Metal Crystal Phase Shifter. Developed within the secret imperial superweapons facility within the Maw cluster of blackholes, this weapon could turn any metal into crystaline powder. When a ship or droid entered its disruptive shield, large cracks would appear and eventually the whole structure would disintegrate. This weapon was able to bypass shield, allowing it to quite easily destroy a large star destroyer with very little effort.
However, like many of the other Maw superweapons we will discuss later on in this video it never got past the prototype stage. The prototype was destroyed in the battle of the Maw, preventing it from falling into the hands of the Imperial Remenant. However, this technology was eventually integrated into the Maw irregular fleet and helped the Jedi defeat the newly turned Jacen Solo during the second Battle of Fondor.
Malevolence
A similar, but more powerful weapon was created during the Clone Wars. Known as the Malevolence, this flagship was a modified Subjugator class heavy cruiser. It was equipped with two twin ion pulse guns, which Once fired, the resulting wave would travel long distances and cripple any starship that it met with. Following the immobilisation of a ship by ion guns, about 500 turbolasers were unleashed and utterly destroyed the opposing cruiser. [6] The vessel's power plant ran on waste heat and engine byproducts. The system needed a massive hull and had to frequently discharge its accumulated energy, which was adopted by the ion cannons.
This massive heavy cruiser served as Grievouses flagship at the beginning of the clone Wars. However, after Anakin Skywalker tampered with the ships navicomputer, the entire ship crashed into the dead moon of Antar.
