I wonder how they'll handle them in this timeline, in Legends they were prototypes made by a group that had just lost their capital so a lot of them had design problems that took a while to be smoothed out making them hard to deploy and making upgrading the X-wing ultimately the easier choice.
Yeah, it's starting to sound like the E-wing is Star Wars's F-22, with the X and A wings like the F-15 and 16, with them getting upgrades and new models all the time.
@@WolfeSaber9933 Hmm, that is the wrong comparison if you ask me since SW is rooted in WWII roles and aesthetics I would say that the E-Wing could be like a P-51 while the X-Series can be like the P-39 (later becoming the 63) with the A-Wing filling the role of the F4/6F (the Y Wing is defenitly the SBD/TBD)
@@darmansbar7900I disagree, for the simple fact that the P-39/63 was always a bit of an oddball and never was the USAFs main fighter. I would say that the X-Wings are F6F Hellcats (mainline multi-role fighter that was famously easy to fly), the E-Wing is the F4U Corsair, the A-Wing is the FM-2 Wildcat (but fast as fuck boi), the Y-Wing is the SBD Dauntless/TBF Avenger, and the B-Wing is the SB2C Helldiver
From what we've seen in the trailer and concept art, these new Frigates have four hangar bays or bay entrances. The one entrance we saw had roughly half a dozen starfighters parked around in addition to shuttles so at a rough estimate these ships can carry two squadrons of starfighters and probably closer to four squadrons. They're listed as Transport Ships but could be multirole or, on the other hand, the fleet we saw could be escorting these four+ transports in a convoy type situation.
True but they need to make sure the shows prop communist definitely, oh what did you think conservatives were smart?! Lol no the rebel alliance was based on the Vietcong communist party and Star Wars is a leftist franchise and very woke and awesome and progressive as hell. Awww sorry dumb nazis you have nothing. George Lucas was more woke than Kathleen Kennedy and Lucas film ironically. Conservatives are really dumb it’s funny 😁 😂.
I could see them being designed with the hanger space to handle either lots of starfighters or enough shuttles and dropships to deploy serious ground forces, depending on the mission.

That MC80A in question, at the Declaration of the Rebel Alliance is implied to be Home One too. Pretty damn fitting, if that will be definitively confirmed.

I always was a fan of the MC30 as I like the mid sized star wars ships. I even the Armada miniature of it. Great to see "new" ships in Ashoka (hope they introduce the victory class during the show)
I got a wonder if we're going to see the home one for the first time since return of the jedi. It's always been one of my favorite Star wars locations. Definitely think it's the most underrated ship in Star wars.
Maybe this is That Mon Calamari cruiser Hera Is given command of the Geist(ghost) in that Mako-ta Dockyards scene where the Executor is first deployed to the larger universe

Yeah, would have loved to see a DP-20 or three in this fleet composition. Would add a duo of Dreadnaught heavy crusiers, to soak up fire from anything heavier. Those were my early fleets in Star Wars Rebellion. 6*CR90, 6*Dreadnaughts, 4*Nebulons, 2*Quasars and complement of A, X and Y wings. A Bulk crusier would have also been helpful as extra target to distract heavier enemy ships.
Loving this vid that feels reminiscent of some of the older breakdown videos. Can’t remember if there was anything like this but how about a breakdown of which is a better light destroyer, MC30 or a UNSC Halberd? #askeck
I actually really like that fleet set up as a task force in post-galactic civil war Republic. Enough firepower to handle anything a minor warlord is going to have but with a more flexible and defensive mix than a squadron of Star Destroyers, so less threatening in the post-dissarmament Republic.
Great video. I wonder if the new ships could be a canon take on the Strike-class cruiser. It would fall in the size range, and its modularity could let it serve any role from carrier to cargo transport.
Do you think we'll see Inferno Sqaud? I remember hearing something recently about the voice actors meeting up or talking about something, really hinting at something. I know around this time Del would still be alive, meaning the Rebel Raider is still apart of the fleet, and we know Iden and Zay lead a rebel unit with Shriv their Imperial Spy Droid and Hask is still alive too.

@@pepperedash4424 It’s not really the length though. It’s tonnage and role. Destroyers are either supposed to be wickedly fast and powerful or (if it has the Star prefix) ungodly durable and powerful. Those seem too lightly armored to be a Star Destroyer, and too big to be a normal Destroyer. Maybe cruiser (certainly not star cruiser), but light cruiser or swift cruiser more likely.
@@SchneeflockeMonsoon When most combat is set within an environment where tonnage is somewhat irrelevant (space), there isn't really much left to gauge with size than length. As for role, the MC-30s _were_ wickedly fast and powerful, being one of the fastest of its type and capable of bombarding larger warships with their assault proton torpedoes plus medium turbolasers. That fits the moniker of Destroyer. Destroyers minus the prefix "Star" are non existent within Star Wars, with the classification of Star Destroyer being used interchangeably with Star Cruiser. The ISD's were originally referred to as Cruisers in ANH and behave similarly until RoTJ, where they begin to behave like battle ships.
If the new frigates are considered "transport ships", perhaps they are assault ships similar to the Acclamator, designed primarily to move ground forces between planets. They could also be carriers, or even serve a dual purpose role between starfighters and ground assault (swapping out fighters for more assault shuttles as needed).
I love these kinds of videos. I wish they threw in more random clutter, like tugs and cargo boxes and dozens of smaller civilian ships, so we could get more shipspotting mileage out of these scenes. Lol, now I want EC Henry to do an April fools "If we enhance these four pixels, we can barely make out an 19th century Turkish teapot, which we see Marcia using in behind-the-scenes photographs of the A New Hope production. Based on this I've made a model of what the Turkish Teapot Transport could have conceivably looked like"
I wouldn't put too much stock into fleets shown in these series, after the fakeout fleet they showed in Mando Season 3. I think Filoni & Favreau simply direct: "just put in some ships" & they put in whatever they feel like, then later, F&F direct, "nah, that's too many, we'll just use about 4 for the next scene." lol
Yes! Eck, this is the type of dumb video I was waiting for! Thank you! Edit: Is it possible that those ships are light cruisers and/or light/escort carriers? *Shrugs* I think those ships are in the 500+ meter range. I suppose we'll find out when Star Wars Armada releases them in store, lol.
I bet the episodes shows us how powerful the New Republic has become after RtnJedi. Fast forward a few episodes possibly the end episode Thrawn obliterates the fleet with the Chimera and 2 other Star Destroyers.
During the time of the New Republic I don't think Alliance fleets/forces would comprise of Freighters anymore, as they no longer need to carry their supplies with them, now having many Republic aligned planets to act as logistics hubs.
Possibly a hot take: I just can't stand bare/negative space on the Nebulon-B, MC-30, or any starship. It reduces hull integrity along with carrying capacity, the exact opposite of what's needed for a warship, especially one intended to operate in a hostile environment like space.
Here's hoping Zsinj may make his way back into canon. It's clear there's quite a number of Imperial holdouts at this point, he may very well be in hiding.
@@Burning-Twilight I think a fatal flaw in Star Wars is that the writers assume every major faction just collapses (i.e. the CIS, Empire, New Republic etc) without realizing these are giant organizations that are bound to have holdouts. I thought the legends novels did a great job at showing this. The hunt for Zsinj was a huge conflict for the New Republic.
@@ericlane3256 Yeah its a sad thing really. I think Disney did this with the Empire at least, because they just didn't wanna be bogged down with them when they wanted to prop up the FO as the new big bads. I think through the Mandalorian they have learned fans and writers can still be encapsulated with remnants of once colossal enemy forces. But only time will tell.
MC30 in the show: I’m classed as a a transport and got boarded by some evil force users MC30 in legends: Give me a good crew and a brave captain, and I’ll kill a star destroyer
There's no way the official size for the Home One is accurate. We know the winged Liberty class is slightly smaller than the wedge portion of a Star Destroyer without the superstructure, we see one in a broadside with a Star Destroyer in Return of the Jedi. The Home One is depicted as being enormous compared to everything else in the Rebel fleet. The Star Wars Technical Commentaries goes into great detail on this, and puts the Home One at twice the length of a Star Destroyer. It's unfortunate we never saw one beside a Star Destroyer in Return of the Jedi, or this wouldn't be in doubt. Regardless of how big this Home One style ship is supposed to be in Ahsoka, those new ships look pretty decently sized. Way bigger than the blockade runners or Nebulons. I hope we get some great shots of this fleet in the show.
My guess for the new ship is just the Rebel counterpart/version of the Acclamator class ships... Can carry fighters and bring decent fire power but also land on planets to haul a lot of stuff
I know they want to keep the New Republic visually distinct from the Empire but it is just flat illogical that in the period Ahsoka is set in that the New Republic fleet would have no captured Imperial ships. There are so many interesting designs that only got a few seconds, if that, of screen time that could get shown off in something like Ahsoka.
Hi I know nobody asked but ever since I watched the foundation tv series I have been COMPLETELY absorbed by the books there are 7 of them and I only how one left. Would the first foundation book be able to be considered for the book club?
There are still a lot of Legends ships I hope to see canonized. And many of them were used by the Rebel Alliance and New Republic so I hope some show up in this series. I would love the rest of the Rebel capital ships from Rebellion to be canonized. I always preferred the Dauntless and Liberator Cruisers to the MC80s due to lore. IMO an organization that's supposed to be about all sentient species being equal having their primary heavy warship class be one that requires the bridge crew to be a specific species to get the most out of it. And of course I adore Frigates in general so I would love to see the CC-9600 class canonized. The CC-7700 Interdictor Frigates became canon in one of, if not the first, canon novels but AFAIK the CC-9600 Line Frigates have never appeared in canon.

It makes sence that, even in a time of possible demilitarisasion that small task forces would be out clearing up Remnant strongholds. If Gideon is anything to go by, a light cruiser a few Gozantis and 2 squadrons of interceptors would be obliterated by this formation. I'm kinda hedging my bets on the new ships. I can imagine a multi roll light cruiser (decently armed, transport capability and fighter complement) would be great for a government looking to limit military activities. Build "armed transports" that carry fighter and in a way this formation could be considered a convoy. 4 armed transports, 1 heavy escort and 1 escort frigate and 2 corvette squadrons. Not a battle group at all.
I have seen several fan vids about theories, and although some have really cool and hype about the upcoming star wars content, I don't think any ever happened. I doubt Disney understands what is it that fans wish for aside from shooting randomly until there's a hit. Not to try and ruin it for people who are having fun, but they already have a record and I am having a hard time getting excited about this Ahsoka show. No choice but to wait and see.
Idky, but when i look at those frigates, they renind me heavily of the gallofree transports from Hoth. Maybe they're made by the same manufacturers, just to a higher standard for a similar purpose?
Makes me sad about the sequel trilogy as a new republic war against the sith would have been so much better plus I love the new ships so I wish there could have been a actual space battle (exegol was terrible)
Hmm... in the Thrawn Trilogy a shortage of transports has forced the New Republic to convert a number of warships into transports. Maybe these are MC30s that simply have gone through that conversion process.
In this era if this force runs across any Star Destroyers, of any class, chances are they do not have a full crew and are having logistical problems with spare parts, blaster gas, etcetera. If more than one Star Destroyer they are more likely to be having issues than a single one. Unless they are 7th fleet vessels, in which case they are probably fully operational, and competently crewed. Thrawn's 7th fleet doesn't play internal politic or one-up-manship games.
@@EternalEmperorofZakuul nope , With snoke stealing Thrawns designs and technology, From Thrawns Empire of the Hand of the unknown regions . The First order definitely didn't have the brains to Design the perfect Resurgent battle cruiser
@@sumukhvmrsat6347 1. Having many seasons adapted from one story would be overly drawn out. 2. Neither Thrawn nor the First Order designed the FO's technology. It was all bought from arms manufacturers. 3. The Resurgent is the exact opposite of perfect, as it gets wrecked by a lone starfighter with another being being taken out by a cavalry charge. That's more vulnerable than an ISD.
@@pepperedash4424 1. I didn't understand 😅 ,but ,3 3 Books in Thrawn trilogy ,3 Seasons or 4 ,First one introduction of situation charecters 2. The Tie defenders and the Missile , 2 of the most powerful (No.1 listed)Star fighters of thier time are Made (designed (atleast specifications listed out)) by Thrawn 3.Well Even if Canon New Republic is a Balloon of a Military , The Local defenses , especially the Defence fleets of Corellia , Kuat and Fondor would have been deadly , And don't even start me on Defenses of Mon Calamari would have been( yeah That Natasi daala attack in legends ) so yeah it's not the greatest , nothing to compare with Mc90 or Nebula or Trubulemcs class star destroyer, but if it achieved that goals then it would be better than a star destroyer , but I have to agree The sequel trilogy sucks and it is of sequel trilogy so yeah 👍🏻
@@sumukhvmrsat63471. A season averages 8 1/2-1 hour episodes, or the length of 2-4 movies. Movie to book adaptations are usually condensed into one movie per book, and every time they fit more than one book for a movie they suffer pacing issues (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1, The Mocking Jay Part 1). 2.Yes Thrawn had a hand in the TIE Defender and Missile Boat's design, but I don't see how that that is relevant to designing the FO's arsenal. The lore tells us it was corporations like Kuat-Entralla or Son-Blas Corporation, though the Sequel trilogy has not been the most faithful to the lore. 3. I don't see how any of this is relevant to the flaws of the Resurgent. If the TIE/sf Poe and Fin commandeered can disarm the Finalizer with just a pair of laser cannons and a laser turret, then it isn't an up to par warship. Same applies if a boarding party can hack into the turbolaser turret to fire upon it's own bridge.
The most annoying thing about SW is the continued idea that the Home One and all other MC80 cruisers are the same 'class'. Home One's like 3.8km long, the other cruisers are ~1.2km long. That's like saying a heavy cruiser and a destroyer are the same class. I wouldn't mind if it was, say, "same design series" (MC8x series), but different models within. The winged/wingless could easily just be variants of the same class - MC80 and MC80C or whatever - and then Home One could be like MC87 or something. But no, we gotta make the Home One super tiny for some reason, because clearly a nearly 4km warship or two at the same battle as a 17km Executor is unacceptable.
After having watched probably days worth of content on Star Wars ships, I still don't understand their weapons scaling in comparison to ship size. Also the composition of the fleet is off in my opinion. They would need many many more frigates and Corvettes to truely cover the space around the Home One class cruiser. Always love the content Ecks
