The Sentinel was the Seinar troop transport variant that lived between the Lambda and the Rogue One cargo shuttle.
The Imperial Shuttle used to be one of my favorite Star Wars ships. Just loved the overall design of it.
You forgot to mention that the folding lower wings allow it to park even in crowded urban areas as well as heavy forested jungles, so that the empire can reach you any where. That and that it looks like a dainty butterfly when it lands. However the Main entry way has a height problem that some of the tallest Sith Lords have had headroom clearance problems with .
Thank you for all the free videos during this writers strike. You've found a space with the evergreen content figured out. Thank you for all the hard work.
As an aviation fan and former PPL pilot and I firmly believe the saying “if it looks right, it flies right” I’ve always loved the Lamda, it looks right and looks like something Lockheed Martin might actually make someday. It’s cockpit has good forward visibility with one large window rather than several smaller windows that had small blind spots, there was a fatal crash where a DC9 hit an F4 phantom because neither saw each other so few blind spots are ideal. The nose also droops down for good ground visibility (like Concorde on landing) making landing in a small area easier. The wings and rudder give it greater control authority in atmosphere and the fact it has twin engine reliability is also a bonus in terms of making it back to friendly lines if one of the engines hit or has a failure. In short it’s in my top 10 Star Wars ships I’d love to fly.

Best answer for this wonderful vessel ever.
In legends, Cygnus also built the XG-1 "Starwing" Gunship heavy fighter from the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games. It resembled a smaller Lambda with more fins/wings.
Lambda: Vip transport Sentinel: troop transport Eta class : spec ops transport Zeta : cargo transport LAAT : hot active battle field drop ship , Vehicle transport Gauntlet kom'rok : armed Heavy jetpack troopers fighter transport What the empire does , Using Lambda for everything needing to transport regardless of role and capabilities if not slap along a Star destroyer we definitely have more of them than we need anyway ,A Gozanti if not very important mission or cannon fodder , like using X for any variable in maths
Your ability to go into the pychology of dictatorship and the aestetics of that in order to just talk about a Lambda shuttle is very entertaining.
Let's also not forget that due to it being used as a troop transport departing stormtroopers where funneled down the central ramp, making it easy for rebels to gun them down as they off loaded.

To be fair, anyone attacking a Lambda from the front arc would also be exposed to a considerable number of rather big laser cannons from the shuttle itself. "Covering fire" should not be an issue in any actual fight

That’s the case with any military vehicle in real life though. It’s not exactly a bad thing. Realistically the Lambda shuttle pilot would never drop his troops off in an LZ (Landing Zone) that was hot anyway. If he had to drop troops off during battle then he would get at a safe distance away from the gunfire and offload the troops and they would walk the rest of the way into the battle. And if the Lambda ship had to evacuate troops it would land at an LZ and use its blasters or another squad of troopers already on board to suppress the enemy troops with gunfire until all friendly troopers were on board. This is how it’s done in real life.
when I was a kid watching the movies and then reading expanded universe novels I always wanted a Y-Wing or an A wing if I was really in the mood for some speed. Just thought the Y wing was the coolest fighter and figured the two seater would be big enough if I needed to go on trips. Only kinda liked things like the Falcon because Han and some other prominent characters used light freighters. As an adult with kids and a sore back? Yeah something like these space minivans (shuttle) or space truck (light freighter) make WAY more sense to me. Those darn kids and old people trying to relive their youth can have those overpriced death trap fighters.
Oh sure they claim that they don’t scavenge lightsabers from battlefields but then explain why when I ordered mine it came attached to Anakin Skywalker hand ? It did not smell good

The T-14A Lambda class shuttle is definitely one of my personal favorite star wars ships and one i would probably own as personal ship if I'd live in the star wars universe
You know, I love the Lambda. It's a little different from all the other empire vehicles. Whoever flies one is always a big deal. It's Sienar doing what they're really good at.
Lambda class has always been my favourite ship... It's a sexy ship, when I saw it as a child I knew I needed one... Now I have five of various scale
Thanks for the video
I think he dropped the ball on this one. The reason everyone from High ranking imperials, to rebel personnel is using the Lambda shuttle is because like corellian light freighters, the Lambda shuttle is well designed with utility in mind. Depending on the configuration, the Lambda shuttle can do almost anything. I did not realize this until I gave one to my group in a roleplaying game. I fist gave them the ship for the same reason the rebells use it, as an infiltration vessel. But then I, or should I say we, discovered all the cool features it has. It has strong armor, shields, weapons and a descent sized cargo bay that can easily be modified for whatever you need the shuttle to do. In stock configuration it is a bit on the slow side, but not much, and alike everything else on the ship, can easily be fixed/modified. It is the empires Swiss army knife.
Did that box behind you say "Go-Gurt"? I'm waiting for the functional sabre. The Lambda class shuttle actually resembles the 11th letter in the Greek Alphabet...LAMBDA! Neat!
I love these.

There are many vessels in the SWs galaxy I would like to own and this vessel is one of them. If retrofitted this thing could be a space yacht! Ive seen some of the other smaller space yachts on the market, and although some of them I would also like to have, this shuttle still tops ALL of them. The company that made this also made a troop transport and a fighter design, all are the pinnacle of imperial-era ship design. A solid balance of functionality and beauty... not entirely unlike the naboo starfighters.

You can pick-and-choose anything you want to be your own personal canon, and it makes no difference to your morality as a person whatsoever. Take the novel "The Crystal Star," for example. That's blatantly a rejected "Star Trek" novel with Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Threepio, and Artoo shoehorned into it. It's bad, it feels nothing like a "Star Wars" story, and I discount it. That doesn't mean I'm about to go on a shoplifting spree or oppress a nation. It just means I ignore a bad novel, except when I have to use it as an example. Besides, if you want to go that route, Disney decanonising The Expanded Universe is evil. But at least I can agree with you on that.

I think the whole way that Palatine organized, the Empire, was under the simple belief that he would never need to fight a war again. Or at least, nothing significant. I think he just assumed that he would reign all powerful, forever. Certainly goes with who he is as a character.
No lie, its still one of my favorite ships in the series.
A wonderful vessel with class behind it, this was used even by the NR military.
Honestly I think the Nu class looks better.
Sure the Lambda is graceful, but Director Krennic's Delta class was sinister. TIE Boarding Craft and Command Shuttle don't get enough love though.
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. HATE leads to shitty toxic gatekeeping.
Having long-range dropships would be handy, though I'd say relying on Lambdas and Sentinels was a deliberate doctrinal choice on the Empire's part. Similar to TIE fighters not having hyperdrives because the assumption is they'll be supported by more than just their wingmen, I suspect the theory was that when the Empire shows up somewhere, the standard approach would be to roll in with overwhelming force. That is to say, the Empire's plan is for the troops to have backup from fighters and orbital warship gunnery, not just the battle-taxi they arrived in. Of course, given the inefficiency of the Empire's command-economy model - and a pretty fair degree of corruption on top of that - it's unlikely the Imperial Navy could actually live up to that ideal on a reliable basis.

I love the looks of the Lambda-class shuttle, but it also highlights the two things I both love and hate about Star Wars aesthetics: large and unnecessary wing-shaped structures on spacecraft; which also need to move for some reason, usually in a ridiculous manner, and often just to allow the vessel be able to land. Still, gotta love the Lambda.
Clone Wars kinda messed up having the LAAT landing troops from space/orbit. It's literally right there in the name, the LA in LAAT stands for Low Altitude, it was clearly always meant to be an atmospheric craft.
At least it was used as a basic troop transport as much as the Sentinel class shuttles

That said, there are very effective variants of the lambda that were very effective. There is the assault shuttle, and then there are two custom jobs I want to make note of, Palpatine had one with a cloaking device and Sith artifacts, and Isard had one that was so heavily shielded that the only fighter carried weapons that could damage it from a single fighter were missiles and torpedoes. Also, the rebels used a miniature version as a fighter (it was basically a slightly downsized shuttle, but was still a shuttle and was considered a lambda variant).
