Imperial Assault 

A good portion of it actually, yes. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@@FarseerAnimation if you ever want models for the animations, CoreyLoses is the leader of the Thrawn's Revenge mod and he's a really cool guy, just talk to him and I'm sure he'd love to jump on these awesome vids!

Thanks, it means a lot!

While I don't have access to traditional film or a proper array of models, I closely studied how ILM implemented the effects back in the day. The modern method tends to involve making laserbolt 'models' and sending them out realistically from ship to ship. That may technically be more accurate to how it would look but it almost always completely misses that snappy timing and visual intensity that an action scene really needs. All of my laserbolts and such are painted on, frame by frame so each shot feels appropriately punchy.

@@FarseerAnimation I was smiling from ear to ear reading that comment. Thank you. Physical bolts always leave you with that effect of hanging in any given shot for far too long (especially when travelling parallel to your line of sight, where they eventually become immobile and visual clutter before vanishing into the distance). This, is just beautiful.

But still a great animation

Max Brandt Thanks, it means a lot!

@@FarseerAnimation it's going in my Awesome Star Wars Stuff playlist, as well! In fact, pretty much every full Star Wars production you've made on this channel has earned that honor. As far as I'm concerned, your work is of excellent quality, and continues to be so! Keep em coming! Also, quick question - what part of the timeline would you consider these battles in? Between episodes 3 and 4, 4 and 5, 5 and 6, or after 6 during the time of the Imperial Remnant?

@@darthknightwingphoenix2081 Thank you! I like to keep things vague about the timeline so people can fill in the gaps. This is implied to take place around the same time at episode 6, give or take a few months.

Farseer Animation oh? I had it at in between episodes 4 and 5, when the rebels were at their strongest hot off the victory at Yavin, gaining more support and new ships, and the Empire was designing new ships and strategies of their own to counter the rebels more directly, since the Tarkin Doctrine had proven ineffective and its architect was dead. I organized my playlist accordingly(I organize it by era - stuff taken from, inspired by, or seeming like it fits in the Old Republic era comes first, then stuff from, inspired by, or fitting in the prequel trilogy, then original trilogy, and so on), and put the videos in between stuff inspired by episodes 4 and 5. Ah, well. Too late to change it, so I’ll go with my interpretation. The rebels take a lot of losses in your videos anyway, which lines up with my interpretation - by the time of Hoth, the relentless retaliation of the Empire had driven the Rebels to new hideouts like Hoth, with a lot of the starships they gained from their new allies having been destroyed in engagements, or hidden elsewhere away from Hoth.

it's pretty typical tactic for Imperial commanders. A lot of them afraid to damage even one of their assets, so they prefer to use "disposable" equipment like fighters and bombers. In one imperial sourcebook, capitan Piett wrote about one such battle, when only his decisive actions prefer total defeat of imperial battlegroup. When Imperial fully utilises their assets - it's usually a very hard fights for the rebels.

No its because he always wants the rebels to win, even in his previous animations they always win even at the lowest chances of survival. Same boring "rebels win because deux ex machina" story. Why can't we ever see the imperials win? This animation has barely any creativity

@@floseatyard8063 The animation doesn't have to be viewed so harshly :( Just run with it and let your imagination take over

@@mcsmedia8081 yeah I take it back, I was kinda harsh. However the previous animation was just complete rebel plot armour, an SSDs shield blocks hyperspace rams but it didn't in the previous one.

could be letting some go to follow them to the next base or gathering point.

I was so invested in Green 3's story, omg.

agreed. I didn't care about Holdo at all, because we didn't know a thing about her beforehand, and she didn't tell a single person in the Resistance about her plan despite there being no good reason to not do so, and clear evidence that it was causing a massive drop in morale, but with 3... I wanted him to survive. His ship was damaged from the get-go, but he didn't retreat. He fought on, he worked with his comrades, and it seemed like he might survive. But he sacrificed himself for his comrades, instead of choosing to let others die to ensure his own survival. His was a real underdog story of working with what you've got and overcoming fear for the sake of your comrades in arms. That speaks to me a million times more than Holdo's sacrifice ever could. Still doesn't make hyperspace ramming any less bullcrap, but it helps when there's a good character doing it.

It's mostly a mix of audio files from the X-Wing game series combined with some EQ editing.

@@FarseerAnimation You guys did a great job. By the way, if you ever wanted someone to provide Voice Over for one of your videos, let me know. I have Voice Over experience.

@@joshuaharrover3205 That would definitely be welcome! Feel free to stop by our discord. The link should be in the description!

@@FarseerAnimation Not seeing any links. Do you guys have any social media like facebook or Instagram?

@@joshuaharrover3205 Updated the description. We only have the discord unfortunately.

Thanks, it's not too hard so I'll keep that in mind in the future!

It got them all in the blast. Same thing happens in ROTJ to all of those ships in formation

That’s actually an original design of mine that I added to help give some variety to the rebel fleet. I think I used it for the same purpose in other videos too so that’s maybe where you saw it before?

@@FarseerAnimation awesome that's most likely the case, i did find 2 vessels that looks similar 1 from star wars combine, the Pelagia Duplex Command Assault Gunship and 1 from the star wars fandom site under transports, the WTK-85A interstellar transport. But i must say your design was smashing lad. Loved it

@@bloodgrimgaming2197 Thank you! I still need to name the design. (The file name is literally just Transport) It was originally created as a transport similar to the YT series but from a different manufacturer.

@@FarseerAnimation keep up the fantastic designs, love to see more in the future!

It's because of hyperspace lanes. To my understanding, some planets can only be accessed via one hyperspace lane. The Empire blockades access to that one hyperspace lane. If there isn't a hyperspace lane on the other side of the planet, then you can't escape through that side.

@@tanner.h if there is you can though

I believe the Wrath of the Sovereign video has the most focus on B-Wings!

Indeed I did

I think the in-universe explanation is they can only use their hyperdrives at a specific angle and that's the direction all the blockading ships come from. Out of universe it doesn't really make sense of course.

That's the YT-2000 Otana.

I animated this using the software Lightwave, yes
