Something about the B-Wing has always done it for me. The massive amount of weaponry rotating around the cockpit. Such a cool design.

The x-wing the y-wing the A-wing and the B-wing are 4 of my favorite rebels ships in star wars

The original T65 X-Wing fighter from the Original Trilogy will always be my favorite Rebel Starfighter.

Before the Resistance Heavy Bombers even engaged, I knew it was over for them.

The Y-Wing will always be my favorite Rebel startfighter. The K-Wing is another favorite of mine. I really love the Rebel heavy bombers. Just not the Resistance Bomber, that one was dumb. And an interesting thing I never knew was the existence of the BTL-S3. But now I know that it was the bomber used in the OG Battlefront games for the Rebels as it had 2 seats in game for the pilot and gunner.

What about the V-Wing? That was one of my favorites from Rogue Squadron on N64

I thought it was the BTL-A4 not the BTY-A4 for the Y-Wing.

The purpose of the s foils on the x wing was to dissipate heat from the lasers. You wouldn't move the engines just to give a wider spread. It's been a while but I believe some expanded universe content like Rogue Squadron states this.

The snow speeder is just too iconic not to mention, it’s cool af with those harpoons

Red Five producers on RU-vid channel missed one Star Wars fighter named "I-Wing" that is similar to "X-Wing" but without the "X-Wing" flight configuration this "I-Wing" has only a single wing between cockpit with only one yellow beamed laser cannon on each wing and has only two engines compared to "X-Wing" four engines. "I-Wing" model was a outdated recon-patrol ship without hyperdrive and was a rebel recruit practice spacecraft for rebel space flight school.

The BTL-A4 is canonically confirmed to be a stripped down heavily modified BTL-B.

Yes, let's see a video of all Republic star fighters and variants Also, how about videos on capital ships please

My head-cannon is that the Y-wing was a response to the blockade of Naboo. Its job was to go from the surface of a planet to pointing up, go as fast as possible, attack large ships, then get back home. A planetary defense fighter/attack ship optimized for a specific kind of mission, then adapted by the rebels because it was old and so available to them at the time.

Although I was hoping that the R60 T-wing interceptor would be included in the end

I love the reaction of Agent Kallus, in "Star Wars: Rebels," when Hera arrives in the prototype B-Wing "Blade" and annihilates one of the blockading imperial heavy cruisers. I had a "B-Wing" toy-vehicle when I was a kid. Loved the way it maneuvered. Very unique amongst action-play vehicles from any series, Star Wars or other.

Missed some of the more less used Rebel and Republic fighters from the EU like the R41 and T-wing. Still you got the majority of them.

you forgot the V-wing airspeeder only seen in Star Wars: rogue squadron on the N64. Was a cool Fighter that had boosters that would blast you away from enemy encounters.

It would be cool if you do a Clone Wars-Era Republic Starfighters as well as other Republic-Era Starfighters in separate video essays. As well as Mandalorian, CIS, and Sith-Imperial Starfighters (Cannon or Legends). All within your time of course.

I would love to hear more about the Z-95 Headhunter since it's the defacto Father of the X-Wing ^^

My personal favorite is the B-Wing, because I've always favored a "one shot kill" mentality on harder targets, and they definitely do the job.

Resistance fighter, republic fighter and other rebel and resistance ship like cruisers and frigate would be cool to see in another video

Thanks for this video. I always wondered why the snowspeeder was never seen on space. Thanks for the knowledge.

Other reasons the rebels chose to remove the armor shell from the Y-Wing. Better fuel efficiency Better maneuverability Better speed The rebels are a guerilla warfare hit and run group. They use their scouts to find a under guarded imperial facility and have to get their bombers there, hit the target and get the heck out of dodge before reinforcements show up, hopefully without encountering much heavy return fire. The extra speed and maneuverability gained from removing the armor shell also allowed the Y-Wing to better fly in formation with the other faster rebel ships. And since the Y-Wing already sports a good shield generator the rebels found the heavy armor unnecessary for their needs. As well as the mentioned easy access for repairs. They sure look cool with the armor shell though!

The head hunter doesn’t get enough love

I love the look of the U-Wing and T-70 X-Wing the most, and in line with the original aim of Star Wars (Aesthetics over Practicality), are my favorites overall. Would love to see an explanation on the Old Republic-era starfighters, from both the Republic and the Sith Empire. I've not played much of SWTOR, but I remember seeing there being like 12 different ships for each, with maybe a range of selections for loadouts, IIRC. 3 each for Fighter, Interceptor, Bomber, and Gunship roles.

Would love to see you do a video on the Corporate Sector Authority , that Han Solo delt with in the trilogy . Great video 👍

Would really love to see a video about Republic Era starfighters! Also kinda hard to believe that rebel pilots used the Delta 7 against the Empire 😅

THANKS SO FOR WATCHING MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU FRIENDS & FOES & FOLKS

7:49 "the t shaped ship" hold up wait a minute

As much as i love the Y-wing, i have to go with the B-wing. If i have to choose one ship i must pilot, it's the B-wing. I'm not one for speed, and the B-wing is one of the slower ships the rebels had, so it's only right that i am to fly a B-wing. I don't need much protection myself, because i'm a big guy, but a successful bombing run relies on protection from enemy fighters, by allied fighters, and i do know how to crack a serious punch, especially when it's time to deal out a hard hit. Even if the MG-100 is a better ship for me, i would still rather fly a B-wing, because i'm not much for teamwork, so i would rather sit in a single seat B-wing than to fly and command a MG-100

One question I’ve had for awhile now. The “A-wing” we see in Rebels isn’t the same as the A-wing from return of the Jedi. Evidenced by the different looking cannons at the least. Was it meant to be the R-22 Spearhead or an earlier version of the A-wing? If so it wouldn’t be an RZ-1 so I’m wondering what its designation was?

Y wing is my favorite with X wing because of the size and shape

You videos are the best thing AT 3am bro!

The y wing is so iconic

I can't believe they brought the E-Wing into canon!!

The E-Wing began as an Imperial prototype fighter. The planet they were being built on defected and joined the the New Republic. They were rushed into production before all the bugs were worked out.

B-Wing has always been my favorite 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I would like the video on Arc 170, snow speeder and the other lesser fighters

The A-Wing destroys all the other ships no problem and it's definitely my favorite ship hands down. In a very close second place is the B-Wing

The Alliance had the ARC 170, V-Wings, ETA 2 interceptors, even the Bellbulab 22.

One you missed? The T-Wing. If you're going by Legends, the Rebels meant to replace the A-Wing with these, but they were such krud that the Reels sold them off to whoever was happy to pay for them. Still better fighters than the Starfortress, I hate those things.

When I was little I thought that B-wing was super slow🤣 otherwise great video and you could do Every single known Jedi temple

YES. A REPUBLIC FIGHTER VIDEO IS AMAZING

Now if only you included the M-Wing, or include it in a video on Ugly Class ships

In my game i pilot the ARC-170. I like it's weapons!

I would be interested in a republic era fighter video actuallyz

Could you do every fleet ships the rebels and empire used?

amazing starfighter

No T-Wing and V-Wing from Legend ?

Can you try to do all type of Imperial warship or rebel alliance?

A-wing, the latest version RZ-2. I’m guessing no hyperdrive? Does it have shields? The X-wing Advanced Heavy is prolly my second favorite. I wonder if there’s a version with a somewhat shorter nose? I could never sit right feeling the nose was too long and skinny to be visually balanced. Maybe the T-65C-A2 fits if the cutaway was accurate. I wouldn’t be hurt if I was assigned the T-85, either.

everytime i watch one of these i think do i need to take notes, will there be a test on this later?

My favorite is a powerful rebel ship The Q wing

why doesnt the chicken wing exist

Yes we want it

Republic starfighter type/variant video later? Fuck yeah!

🤔 . . . How about an Ugly Starfighter contest? Whoever makes Vader Vomit & Palpatine Puke is the winner! Mine?: YT series cockpit, preferably the YT-1300, with three (3) to four (4) B-Wing fuselages (i.e. the main wing) with their respective winglets, engines, & everything else. Also, as part of its arsenal, twelve (12) or sixteen (16) TIE boarding pods (they’re like TIE Bomber pods, but it has a tip similar to Clone Wars era CIS boarding pods) loaded with Battledroids & Sabotagedroids to ensure the organic boarding crew can easily get on & such…

My favourite starfighter and all of sci-fi history is the XWing

The one thing i was looking forward to with the movie prequels, was seeing the Y wing when it was the new hot fighter bomber. I think it was a missed opportunity.

Do the Rebulic era starfighters. This one is interesting.

I grwe up with the X-Wing as much as anybody. But realistically, the BTL-S3 Courier is the sort of thing I'd want for a personal ship, even as a civilian, especially if I could give it some plating.

It’s a shame though since you mentioned the Snow Speeder you didn’t mention the V-Wing like the Snow Speeder it was a atmospheric fighter but despite that it was a fast and powerful fighter it lacked shields but it made up for it in speed and maneuverability.

Do a video on rebel vehicles

my favorite is the t65 skyhopper lol

Yes, I want you to do a video on the Republic starfighter variance😊❤

"Do you want to know what Republic-Era ships the Rebellion used against th-" Yes! Are you kidding me?! I'll take the dumbest question I've ever heard for $200, Alex! But in all seriousness, yes, I would love that. You have such a knack for whittling down the complexities of Star Wars lore and I would love to see that.

Another reason the a-wing was so sleek and fast was it had very little shields if and. It made up for it by being the only star fighter to have duel ion cannons and its speed and mobility

X-wing and B-wing are my favorites!!!

My favorite is the Correliean YT-2400

You forgot about the R-22 Spearhead which is the earlier version of the A-Wing.

My fav is Luke's red x wing. They call me (Red 8 standing by)

S foils also serve to dissipate excess heat generated by the weapons.

I've been a Y-wing guy my whole life.... no better ship.

Im surprised it took this long to make a video related to the channel name

My favorite is the U wing

As far as A-wings go you forgot the R-22 Spearhead and the RZ-1 A-wing Mark 2.

u wing and y wing they are awesome

B-Wing, my beloved

The B-Wing has been my favorite ship in Star Wars since I was a kid. I think the game Rogue Squadron made me fall in love with the B-Wing.

Never forget that although it crashed that one A-Wing one shot a star destroyer

I've got so sick after I saw what Rebels did with the B-Wing lore ...

The RZ-1T is NOT a variant of the RZ-1. The A-Wings in Star Wars: Rebels are R-22 Spearheads, and so the "RZ-1T" is in fact a two-seater variant of the R-22.

Plz do the republic

the longprobe looks like it belongs to a (different) franchise

Every letter of the Rebel alphabet is my favorite 😊❤️.

Small correction. You called the rebel Y-wing a BTY-A4, but it is actually a BTL-A4. I assume a typo in your script.

i love watching this channel and eating pizza 😌

Great video but you did make a mistake. The X-Wing S-Foils split as a cooling solution for the powerful rapid firing cannons. (I have read over 150 Star Wars Novels, and run SWRPG)

My fav is Luke Skywalker's X-Wing fighter!

you forgot the jedi stealth X

K-wing was a nice ship, I hope it will be put in Cannon. Also what do you think about the Tri-Wing

Bombers keep that tight formation

My favorite star fighter is x wing, u wing and, b wing also there variants as well😎😎😎😎😎

My favorite one is the A-wing

G-Wing and J-Wing were the best.

B-Wing for the win. ✊🏻👊🏻💪🏻 One of these can take out a Nebulon-B Frigate.

You forgot the New Jedi Order Stealth X

not so fun fact: the t-85 x-wing's wings aren't actually configured in an X like shape, they're like two separate V's.
