181st Imperial Fighter Wing | Star Wars Legends 

Wish I could. Sadly I'm in germany and it will be 2:00am when that stream starts.

is this still happening? Or is this delayed?

The Templin Institute man I tell ya. They reaaally should have cast Colin Salmon as Soontir Fel in Star Wars in some capacity. EPIC!!

Can you guys make a video about the 204th Fighter Wing, aka "Shadow Wing"?

Wedge Antilles being one such example

Well you know what they say, fear an old man in a profession where people die young.

Soontir Fel does not beg to disagree, he just disagrees.

I get the quote and reference 👍

@DeSPoTNemanjaS Vincent from The Black Hole

Or a soldier of three armies

He eventually wound up fighting for the right side, though I hear the Empire used his wife as bait to flush him out. Still, with him on Rogue Squadron, you had best believe he did some good for the Galaxy. Even got to work with his old classmate, Han Solo.

@@bthsr7113 They tried but she had gone into hiding, Fel was hoping his brother-in-law would help find her.

Furthermore his descendants will end up ruling the what was left of the Empire, becoming its new emperors.

The actress who was also the sister of Wedge Antilles.

@@MobiusLeader007 I didn't want to spoil that. There's a reason I left that twist out.

@@bthsr7113 It's out anyway, Really must have made for awkward family time.

@@TheDarkstormy Well, Jag was named after his grandfather Jagged Antilles, and one of Wedge's kids is named Syal after his sister, and Jag married Jaina Solo.

@@roguelead72 So even more awkward family time. As the House of Skywalker is it's own warning. I mean, sure Shmi was a lovely human being, but I mean the spiders web of Imperial/Republican connections that follows her son and his children... And honestly you can't really get a bigger Imperial connection than Anakin Skywalker.

181st VS Rogue Squadron would be one of the most spectacular dogfighters ever to be seen between the Rebels/Republic and the Empire

@@goodimperial5396 Rogues would win. X Wings have shields and hyperdrive. Woujj look s be an epic battle though.

This isn't the first though?

They uploaded a Star Wars video 3 days ago

They've done others, one is on Thrawn.

@@daniellongsworth4484 Thrawn is Canon now.

@@PeterReid1993 But the story they presented is from legends.

They did Rouge squadron two years ago.

"Pretty. What do we blow up first?" - Wraith Squadron Motto

Greedo shot first

He didn't, his wife did.

yet

@Kato Ho Ten Soeng General Kenobi

@@A_Spec I meant his rerelease shenanigans. Also, what are you doing here? You have a galaxy to burn.

I still lament the loss of that game...

@@michaelandreipalon359 Yes. It was going to be a game focused on the Empire. It was cancelled by Lucasfilm in favor of a game that would have starred Chewbacca. But Lucas himself struck down the idea of the Chewbacca game. So in the end neither game was made.

Yasssss. Gillead Pellaon is iconic

Amen

not sure when, but fel even lost an eye, which did not lessen his skill at the flight stick. Another parallel to the red baron.

@@michaelandreipalon359 Richthofen got a Splinter In his Head, thus being out of the fighting for 6 months. After Surviving this head injury, he got a new plane, and shortly After that got shot by a stray bullet from the Ground in a Skirmish. The canadian Ace behind him got credited the Kill, instead of the Australian mashine gunner.

It's believed the previous head injury severely compromised his judgement. He violated several of his own rules on his final flight either out of lack of situational awareness, or simply disregarded them.

Well he did train Hobie who along with Biggs Darklighter was one of the defectors that got him assigned to the 181st to begin with, and Tycho Celchu.

@@michaelandreipalon359 Corran wasn't with the Rogues at that point, he was still partnered with Iella Wesseri in CorSec, and actually shows up in the next comic series Family Ties, if you can find the In The Empire's Service/The Making Of Baron Fel/ Family Ties comics they're good reads

Getting hundreds of aerial victories at the unit level for those blood stripes requires target rich environments as well. It's no small feat in itself.

But not in realism like in power or other things

Literally some legends say some really unrealistic things like stormtrooper armor can repel artillery shells

@@icantcomeupwithagoodusername24 because someone being a force god without any training and casually (and accidentally!) performing one of the most difficult force powers is more ReAlIsTiC

@@icantcomeupwithagoodusername24 "realistic" you mean grounded?

@@icantcomeupwithagoodusername24 jo source states that, what it states is that they repel sheapnel and can resist certain explosions, wich is then reflected in both legends and canon. canon only has the terrible tendency to ruin stormtroopers and imperials, ruining the ot as a result by taking away any form of tension, fear and worry that a person might have

Same here. Fel won me so many battles in the x-wing tabletop game that i lost count in the end. I will always use it in honor to him and the abilities he gave my squadrons in tournaments. I wont ever be able to switch haha.

ghota kill 10 enemies to even coud think about that

Speaking of which, how do you think some of the top pilots of the ace combat series do in star wars?

Ah, I see you are a person of culture as well.

How about an Imperial version of the Yellow Squadron?

You're welcome 😊 We've been trying to keep on top of it.

But one can't deny the superior armament of the defender. Which of course does not mean it's necessarily cooler.

While you have to respect the Defender's ... eh.. defenses and other capabilities, the Interceptor is still cooler.

@Nobod-E don't forget the missiles, Ion-Cannons and the light tractor beam.

who does that make phennir werner voss?

@@michaelandreipalon359 Well by chiss standards... its bit complicated... Soontier Fel married Wedge´s sister, and they were essentialy a decorated family... but when Lowbacca and her band blew up chiss supply depot, the family becaume liable for all the damage because Jagged guaranteed Lowbaccas parole... So Jagged was exiled and had to hunt down Aleema Rhar for his family to have option to start again from nothing... but he could never return into the Ascendancy... technically, he was no longer part of any family and well as he said... technically he was no longer even Jagged Fel... And he was Twin Suns three as much as anything else. but he dropped at Jedi temple one day, asked for help (as ackwardly as a lifetime military person could... and Luke essentialy employed him, made him boss of Jaina and Zak... then Luke made him an Head of State, and when Jagged weaseled out of that (I really suggest reading Fate of the Jedi, its so much fun series) he became sniper rifle instructor in Jedi academy at Ossus. but... this actually may not be fully accurate since Empire of the Hand was somewhat independent entity and Voss Park may have been bit more lenient then Chiss and let Soontiers family in so the fall wasnt at all terrible... We actually dont know that well the releationship between Hand and Ascendancy in 30ABY+ Formbi was always cryptic about it.

@@michaelandreipalon359 technically all of this is from Killik Trilogy, Legacy of the Force series and Fate of the Jedi series (plus the end is Crucible novel)

Pretty much

Galactic Boogaloo

His son started the Fel Dynasty of the Empire.

Probably slightly better than they did. Though I guess the pilots of the 181's didn't want to imagine it. 8:19

They refused the upgrade.

If you exclude frankly absurd stuff like the Suncrusher...

@@biggsdarklighter0473 😏 lol

They did go head to head in the In The Empire's Service comics, which are prequels to the X-Wing books. The Alliance too the planet , so I guess the Rogues won. But not before the 181st decimated a wing of Y-Wings, killed 2 Rogues and shot down 2 more.

@@roguelead72 oh wow thanks for telling me 👍

​@@roguelead72 that definitely would make it perfect for the song called Aces in Exile.
