Understanding the Role of Each Rebel Starfighter 

The y-wing was the bomber. The u-wing was the troop carrier. The b-wing was the blockade breaker. The a-wing was the intercepter. The x-wing was basically the standard all around star fighter jet.

I don't understand how the Rebels managed to fit a powerful hyperdrive, twin laser cannons, and two concussion missile tubes alongside those stupidly massive fuel tanks. Not to mention cramming a sensor package into its zero volume flattened nose.

The A-Wing would have made the _perfect_ Jedi Starfighter, with it's insane performance - if there had been any Jedi left. *Change my Mind*

Here's a simplier version: X-Wing - *Main Fighter* Y-Wing - *Main Fighter when Out of X-wings* A-Wing - *Shot it and it becomes a manned missile* B-Wing - *People think "B" stands for the "B-shape" but actually stands for "Blade" because it's shaped like a blade* Z-95 - *So you're telling me they can get Y-wings from Clone wars but not the Clone Z-95?* U-wing - *Making people confused if it's a shuttle or gunship* Q-wing - *You'll have 1% the amout of power the GONK Droid has*

The big advantage of your fighters having hyperdrives is not deploying directly into battle. It's the ability to ESCAPE from battle without having to landing back on the ship (the rebels spent alot of their early years running from battles.)

4:40 equipped with one weeks supply of consumables and a full life support system. But no _toilet!_ *X Wing pilot:* R2 could you turn off your sensor feed from the cockpit for the next 5 minutes.. [Astromech spins dome to look behind ship and loudly beeps a song to itself].

If the *Y-Wing* was loaded up with concussion missiles it would have made a decent version of the Missile Boat or Star Wing, a anti fighter long range missile firer. The only issue for the Rebels is getting their hands on enough ordnance to supply it, or having their own production line. And the best place for production facilities would be in a old *Lucrehulk,* it could make X-Wings, _whatever,_ inside it's cavernous holds … far better than wasting them in a frontal assault on the Death Star.

Title: “The Role of Each Starfighter” Video: _Spends first few minutes talking about the X-Wing’s production history._

Missed opportunity for the Rebel Alliance, get a bunch of *YT-1300's* and hot rod them similar to the _Millennium Falcon in sublight performance_ [just maybe use a class 1 hyperdrive so it's reliable]. Ditch most of the cargo capacity and instead carry a *lot* of proton bombs and/or torpedos. Give it even better shields and extra guns and a full military equipment package. It could out dogfight Ties and *_successfully_* drop more ordinance than a StarFortress on a target. Being a common civilian design meant that spare parts were easy to come by, and it could blend in with regular traffic in order to get close for surprise attacks on ISD's patrolling regular trade routes. And best of all, they are cheap and easy to procure.

When you was saying your intro I thought of the uglies and I laughed so hard I about dropped my coffee 😂

Here is my real world comparison to the Rebels' Star fighter Roles X Wing = F-15 Eagle (iconic but multinational platform) U Wing = MV-22 Osprey (or Blackhawk) (Transport with Light defense) Y Wing = A-10 Warthog (True Attacker & Ordinance Platform but Weak at Dogfighting) A Wing = F-22 Raptor (Interceptor at its finest) B Wing = EA-18G Growler (F-18 Base) (Multi function platform with heavier hitting & Anti-Ship arsenal)

I have a couple things to point out. The Rebels first used A-Wing Fighters, by the time of Endor, they were using A-Wing Interceptors. Almost everything you said applies to the Interceptor. The A-Wing Fighter has next to no benefits over other Rebel or Imperial fighters. Theirs multiple different Y-Wings, the A4 version you mentioned actually is as fast as X-Wings, and at least one Hold Squadron Y-Wing is as maunverable as an X-Wing. The A4 version is the only one armed with Twin Heavy Laser Cannons. All the other versions are armed with Twin Blasters. Because of these attributes of the A4, I think its more comparable to a Heavy Fighter/ Interceptor, like an F-14.

I like the F-14 tomcat as a comparison to X-wing . Variable swept wing / s-foils Size of craft Durability Not the top in all areas but very good, especially with good pilots.

The fighter-bomber B-Wing is my favorite.

6:40 - "Your Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato bomber is ready!"

I love the Rebellion especially it's starfighter core. ☺

Nobody: Generation Tech: makes a video about Rebel starfighters, but the thumbnail is a Resistance X-Wing...

I remember back in the old days of Rogue Squadron and its sequels (the games) that the B-Wing was the tank of the Rebel starfighter corps It had stronger shields and plating than the other fighters in addition to its massive loadout of heavier weaponry. You had to be really, super good to fly them but if you could you were a terrifying presence in the battle.

A-Wing was always my favorite Rebel fighter in the X-Wing games.

The tendency for Rebel starfighters to resemble alphabetical characters is unsettling. Imagine a squadron of fighters that could be read out as "F**k Imperial. scum". That's be hilarious but weird.

I really enjoy this type of content. I can't wait for the next episode (maybe about CIS starfighters?)

Could you talk about the different UNSC ships? Right down from the CAS role of the Wasp up to the Infinity-class Supercarrier

When you get to the Starfortress, it's role is to kill it's crew…

Talk about all the species that can have children with each other and what the kids look like.

It is just a detail, but i think the T-65 X-Wing is actually closer to the Rafale/SAAB Gripen/Eurofighter Typhoon/F-18 (and probably others.) While the F-35 is closer to the Tie Defender. The F-35 is too complexe and expensive to be compared to the X-Wing.

Great series

Imagine what Thrawn and Vader could have done with the A-Wing.

Excellent video/review!! Keep them coming👍☯️👍

Great video

I like the Y-Wing. Everybody talks about the original from the Clone Wars or the BTL-4 from ANH. I would like to see a video about the other variants like the BTL-3 from ROTJ, the Longbow, ect.

What's funny is that in Legends both the A-Wing and V-Wing came after the Battle of Yavin where the new canon they come both come before the Battle of Yavin

I love how at 6:40 he says blt y-wing instead of btl

One of my favorite fighters used in limited numbers by the alliance was the T-Wing.

Please do Rebel Capitol Ships next! I gotta hear about those Mon Calamari Cruisers, the CR90, and the Neb-B (possibly even a bit about the Starhawk if anything new's come out)!

Star Wars Gods Be Damned! I Freaking LOVE Generation Tech. I was sick last week for about a day and a half and watched the hell out of this channel. It honestly contributed to making me feel better, just like the Chicken Soup I consumed did. (Generation Tech, Chicken Soup for the Soul)...Makes me forgive you for wearing that pink blouse Brother. >grin< Awesome Vids & Vid. Thank You. Great Freaking Channel.

Excellent episode! But I have one question. Why are you wearing your sister's shirt?

I love these technical type videos. And Alen's wardrobe, I mean hot damn!

Liked and enjoyed watching this. Yes, do one of Rebel Capital Ships.

"Always aim for the cockpit"

Rebel freighter’s, corvettes, frigate’s, and capital ships sounds good.

You guys should do the Old Republic starfighters next, its a pretty underrated era imo

01:21 I love it

Great series. Can y'all do a video on expanded universe ships such as the outsider, ebon hawk, basilisk war droid. Ect.?

Do a series on ground vehicles

I've been trying to develop an idea with building a series of Star Wars models. "What if Earth had these fighters? and which branch would have them?" (being Australian We only have Army Navy and Airforce) so this series is brilliant for my idea. I have started with the Snowspeeder and figured it would belong to either Army Aviation or Army Amoured Corps as a Light Armoured Vehicle. I also thought of a diorama battle called "EMU WAR 2" Australia is big on the concept of Humanity first. Down with the EMU EMPIRE!!!!!🤣once we have liberated ourselves from the Emus we can join the fight against the Dolphins 😎

Understand the role of each Galactic Republic starfighter

I always liked the Hoth snow speeder, could you do a video about that?

TIE fighter: F-5 X-Wing: F-15C (E model is post rebellion) Y-Wing: F-4 (obviously) U-wing: Blackhawk A-wing: F-35 (speed, agility, ECM)

Do one on the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Vaigri, Galactic Republic, Sith Empire, and the First Order.

Capitol ships would be cool. I'd love to see 10 minute videos for every ship as well.

I would like to see some republic starships next.

Threw some shade at the F35 there!! That's alright. It sucks.

Mm-kay, my suggestion, after covering the Empire, CIS, and Republic, is to cover other factions' starfighters in legends in one ep.: Chiss clawcraft, coralskipper, starviper, z-95, skipray blastboat, (suggestions); something new.

Love star wars

Allen, Great video but I'm wondering why in all your videos pertaining to the fighters You've never done anything about Baron Soontar Fel and the 181st. Would love to see one about that

The way I would have emplyed the x wings would be to come out of hyperspace near a Imperial capital ship attack it and just as the ties were launched i would jump the x wings out causind mass amounts of damage. Then just rinse and repeat at iregular intervals before they could repair all the damage so that the damage would just keep piling up. This would Force the Imperials to fly a cap around the ship constantly diverting their resources and making them easy to be picked off one by one

Please do a video about Ezra what happened to him and if he is going to appear in the IX episode!

I would think that it'd easier for you guys to do all of one faction at once, so stay with Rebels,

Capital ship video would be awesome.

I kinda hate that they took something as advanced as the A-Wing and decided that the Rebellion totally had it out of nowhere prior to Yavin.

Do imperial capitalships or stardighters next

The B Wing is awesome. U CAN'T CHANGE MY MIND!

I know this is mainly a Star Wars Channel however I wish they would checkout Stargates ships, fleets, weapons and gear.

Make a 10 great features of the aclamator or victory.

yes do also capital ships

Please do the GAR next :)

Do Rebel Alliance Capital Ships next please :)

Me thinks that someone at Gen Tech has read “Alphabet Squadron” recently. 😆 All kidding aside, the description, pros & cons were presented quite well.

How about Understanding the role of each CIS Starfighter?

U forgot to add how good of a ram the front of the A wing was

Do one with the Empire, and maybe a Capital ship one of both empire and the alliance

Act like to see you do Rebel Alliance Capital ships

the BLT-A4? sounds tasty

You missed the E-Wing to. But cool video.

Could you do old republic ships

Hey, why not try the Republic line of starfighters? Like the T-Wing, the ARC-170, the BTL-B Y-Wing, the V-Wings, and the V-19 Torrents. Just a suggestion. Thanks for listening, your friend and fan, Shock Trooper T.V.

I understand the Rebel Alliance didn’t have resources to acquire capital ships but they could’ve easily mass produce parts for their fighters. I would like Disney to dedicate a book to the logistics of the RA Navy.

The X wing is essentially the P51 or Corsair, the Y wing is the B 25 The Tie Fighter? A Bf 109 or Zero.

10:00 Oh that looks great!! Japanese B-wings~ XD

I want to see a video about Rogue Squadron!!!!

Hmm... My impression was always that the B-wing was a better dogfight fighter than the Y-wing (being faster and having a wider array of weapons), though obviously still inferior to true fighters. Maybe it just always looked more nimble to me?

There are 3 main types of Rebel starfighter: Fighter, Bomber, Interceptor. The 3 might get a sub category

UNSC, and maybe airspeeders like the v-wing and snow speeder

I’ve gotta admit: I’ve been a Y-Wing fan since 1977.

Rebel Alliance Capital ships. They're very interesting in that they don't seem very offensive.

Some of the things you said about the Y wing aren't congruent with the N64 Rouge Squadron descriptions.

Loving the new series! I wouldn't agree with the U-wing's 8 troop capacity to be "large" in any sense of the word.

Do Pirate/Bountyhunter/Hutt Cartel ships/starfighters.

RZ-1 A-wing is nice but everyone knows the RZ-2 is where it's at.

Love your show! Something has happened to your audio lately though.

I'm gonna be honest, I clicked on the video hoping he'd talk about the millennium falcon. It was still a great video though

4:58 Correction: "reverting into *realspace* "

Hi Alan long time no see where you been?

Anyone else notice he called the bomber a BLT? Like the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich?

X wing= Original intended to replace the Z95 and ARC170 for the Imperial fleet, later rejected by the Imperial High Command due to the "quantity over quality" doctrine. Now end up as the best multirole fighter for the Rebellion. Y wing= Light bomber/ heavy fighter. A CIS's worst nightmare, countless of CIS warships are either destroyed by Venators and Y wings. Can be potentially equipped with volleys of buzz droid missiles to swat out Imperial TIE fighter squadron. Retired by the Imperial fleet due to the "quantity over quality" doctrine. U wing= A cheap alternative to the LAAT gunships of the clone wars. A wing= Made to replace the Delta 7 and ETA 2 Jedi Starfighters,, unfortunately the Jedi's were wiped out due to Order 66. The Imperial have some A wings for evaluation purposes but did not adopted it due to "quantity over quality" doctrine.

Capital ships for both factions where they were manufactured from and their sole purpose? Please and thank you

The B-Wing is MORE maneuverable than the Y-Wing, and was a very effective fighter in the the X-Wing computer games.

Allen: All Starfighters had purpose and roles. Starfortress: Is it possible to learn this skill? Allen: Not from a garbage hauler.

Rebels had the best fighters while the Empire had the best capital ships. I hope you talk about the Zann Consortium and the ships they used.

Does anyone know if there's a playlist of background music used in the Generation Tech videos?
