I feel like non-major characters in Star Wars make such tactically poor battlefield decisions on screen (eg, not taking cover properly, etc.) because it just makes the combat easier and more obvious to follow for audiences who aren't veterans or haven't read a lot about warfare strategy. It's probably more cinematic to see dramatic laser exchanges between gaudy and obvious enemies firing slow moving bolts that strike guys who can't duck or hide behind walls. It feels like in an actual battle, gunfire exchanges would be far secondary to artillery and mortar and grenades thrown behind cover. And also armored units just killing everything.

To be fair, regardless of what this videos about, you've got to be bloody quick thinking come up with this much Star Wars content, Alan from across the pond in the UK, I salute you mate, must be hard work so fair play

One of the many reasons that I liked Rogue One is it made it a bit easier to really focus on an aspect of Star Wars that is usually treated as background: The absolute heroism of rebel NPC’s. In the scenario you describe, everyone really has to believe in their cause, because the risk of death is so high. As you pointed out, you might have a brilliant ambush point and blast 5 guys, but then you ARE gonna die. And when storming a ship like this, if you’re in front, every single intersection offers a very high chance of death. In a starfighter dogfight, a pilot with shields at least has a chance if they’re skilled. But in so many personal combat situations, the moment you engage you are seconds away from death no matter how well trained you are.

Hands down some of the best land combat was from the commandos in Rogue One, that's what you get though when you hire former military extras. I would love to see something similar in CQB form on a ship at some point.

Karma caught up with them

The Colicoid Creation Nests came up with a more or less ideal defensive weapon for boarding actions - namely, the droideka. Shielded against just about all small arms fire, small enough to conceal around a corner from the attackers, yet with enough return firepower to level entire groups of boarders in seconds. And mobile enough to relocate themselves quickly to wherever they are needed for hull breaches and defense of choke points. The weapons that would kill a droideka, most attackers wouldn't want to use because they are also powerful enough to cause the hull breaches that would spell death for themselves. Four or five of these used defensively would make any corvette damn near impervious to being effectively boarded, by anything short of a Jedi or Sith. The droideka's basically a self-propelled E-WEB with a starfighter-grade shield.

Blast doors at bulkheads allow the defenders to funnel the boarders where they want. The defenders could lead the enemy to an exterior supply bay and vent it. They could also use this to give the defenders time to set up traps and defensive positions. Generally, a wise defensive force holds the advantage, especially once you know where the enemy is in the ship.

The funniest thing to me whenever I rewatch star wars is how the people with blasters always walk towards the people with lightsabers in order to give them free kills. Like, why would you ever approach the person with a short ranged weapon when you have a long ranged one lol

I went to the world science fiction convention 2016 and heard a ton of well respected sci fi authors talk about writing combat scenes and they all agreed that the best modern analog for spaceship combat wasn’t wwii style dogfights but Cold War submarine battles and I think that really supports your point about the expanse

I had a few friends who were veterans (US army) they said close quarter combat was the ultimate last resort. If airstrike or artillery couldn’t just level the building they would try to get it job done with long range rifles.

I was watching the Orville the other day and it bothered me how they have laser weapons but no knowledge of CQB tactics. I wasn't ever in the military or police but I still know the basics.

It's been so long since I watched one of your videos. I've missed this so much.

my biggest issue with boarding tactics in the series has always been the lack of portable cover to make advances down corridors less perlious. we've been shown time and time again, both conventional shields and man-portable shield emitter technology both exists and is pretty effective at resisting most blaster fire. like?? give a couple units in the front of the boarding crew handheld shields and your immediate losses are automatically reduced by at least half

Vent the bridge with a giant spear. Board the vacated bridge with slicers in space suits through the hole you make. The bridge is intact but the crew are voided, allowing you to use the bridge controls to lock down the entire ship and systematically vent it section by section.

They should have shield and electro staffs just to be careful.

I feel like the droid army had such a massive advantage when it came to space and boarding combat unseen within star wars media. If you had the commander as a super tactical droid there would be no need to have life support, making boarding their ships twice as risky. No only that, since hundreds of droids can be stored in very small locations they will most likely always have a horde advantage when boarding, not to mention buzz droids which could crawl into a ships vents going from place to place, sabotaging everything and creating choas, not to mention those squid droids would be perfect for boarding a ship, send fighters to distract while a couple of these board.

I forget the title, but there is a sci fi series, though it is a short one since the author passed away. That actually had ships where down corridors there were mounts to put anti boarding crew mounted weapons. They never actually used them in the story, sadly.

When have the main movies ever USED ballistic shields or thermal detonators. If your breaching and worried abt structural integrity, ion grenades and/or the toxic dart for BattleFrontII

Part of me is sad that Filoni did miss a lot of opportunies that could have come from him reanimating things from the OG clone wars cartoons. Seeing General Tiin leading clones to take over the Prosperous was easily one of the most epic moments of the entire show.

not sure why star-ship designers dont install boarding counter-measures for intruders. I mean it would be easy to pack in several thermal detonators into the walls at strategic points behind or in front of a bulkhead with a shaped charge that can be remotely triggered from the bridge. No way even Vader walking down the hall could live through 4 thermal detonators at point blank range inside a confined space, let alone a cool inquisitor in a hoodie. it would rip the internals of the ship in that section apart, but it WOULD certainly stop the advance.

I like how you used clips from ”Master and Commander: far side of the world”

The perfect anti boarding set up would be to have small (one person wide) shells, curving around but cutting off after it reaches the maximum size, if placed near the airlock’s it could slow down the enemy advance while giving cover, however it would be almost useless to an approaching enemy as it was curved on the out side, giving you multiple shots while maintaining a door like choke point.

C'mon man. You know what he meant.

I think the worst example of a boarding operation has to have been the battle of the Tantive IV. Once the doors were blown down, Stormtroopers made themselves easy targets when they charged in guns blazing. The first casualties were Stormtroopers before Rebels started getting gunned down. Had Vader gone in first, there’d be a lot more Rebels dead and the plans would’ve been secured. In my opinion, the best boarding operation happened during Season 2 of the Bad Batch when Echo lead troopers on their rescue op. to save Howzer and his men. The clones had plenty of practice and experience from the Clone Wars to carry them through the operation. The plan to create a two front boarding op was sound and created confusion with the green and very wet behind the ears TK troopers. The clones had a plan, established a time limit to conduct the op and withdrew with 0 casualties on their end.

My thoughts on The Holdo Maneuver. Ships have shields which prevent, among other things, hyperspace ramming. This maneuver could only work if the enemy ship was low on fuel, which the Supremacy was. Ships leave normal space and enter hyperspace. To 'ram' an enemy ship you must hit it exactly at the point between leaving normal space and enter hyperspace where you have enough speed from entering hyperspace but haven't quite left normal space. That hair's breath of time when you're effectively in both at one. Million in one shot.

First part I highly doubt. Power requirements of such a shield would be nearly infinite. More likely scenario is that you have to bypass safeguards that are built into hyperdrives of every ship possibly to the point of being so integrated that you are more likely to destroy your hyperdrive in an attempt than succeed. Second part is however spot on. To successfully do a hyperspace ram you have to calculate the point of impact with such precision that it is infeasible unless your target is both enormous in size and you have very long time to crunch the numbers to hit it and I suspect that even then you may get screwed by simple fact that margin of error is impossible to eliminate entirely.

The hyperspace wake would disrupt and disable the shields upon the jump. However, larger ships may not have the gravitational pull necessary to trip the fail-safes. But the calculations necessary to hit a massive target like the supremacy at the point of interdimensional transition into hyperspace would be immense and require plenty of time. The Holdo maneuver worked because the supremacy fired on the smaller resistance transports giving the resistance flagship time to turn around and make the calculations necessary to destroy the first order fleet

I think the supremacy mass shadow was its downfall, it probably didn't have Death Star class shield and hyperspace disruptors to defend itself from that kind of manoeuvre.

This made me question the whole move of that Tactical Droid that decided to deploy the troops on Aayla Secura's cruisers. I mean, why did that in the first place instead of just keep firing until the Republic warships are destroyed? Because in the end, that was what he decided to go with. So why wasted an army of Battle Droids for nothing?

Baylan barely touched some of those guys and they instantly died. Sabine got stabbed in the kidney lungs and liver and lived

@@kelvingriffiths6017that’s was pretty stupid Sabine surviving that lightsaber stab but she definitely not a woke character she has character development unlike retarded Rey. It is just bad writing that made writers think that it was a great idea to stab Sabine in the middle when they could have made Shin Hati a big cut like Obi-wan got from Count Dooku during Revenge of the Sith

I liked Sabine in Rebels. I hate her in Ashoka. Why? Woke nonesense has changed the charachter.

New Republic soldier: takes a lightsaber to the side of their leg. Oh no that was my vital point. Dies. Sabine: takes a lightsaber to the gut for a few seconds. Nothing a little bacta can't fix up.

Cool

Boarding is used to aid in the collection of naval intelligence, as soldiers boarding a sinking, crippled, or surrendered vessel could possibly recover enemy plans or technology. For a boarding to be successful, it must oocur without the knowledge of the crew of the defending ship, or ship's defenses must be suppressed.

Hey, so in the section about early naval combat boarding wasn’t just done whenever. The main reason boarding was done was because it was very hard to actually sink wooden ships. The only real way was a magazine explosion and even then there was too much armor for cannons to really sink them. As such ships were often disabled or had so many crew members killed that they were inoperable. Then they would be boarded and taken as prize ships for money. In this case Star wars is a lot different. My personal headcannon is that long range missiles simply aren’t strong enough to take out larger ships. And as such close range naval combat is with turbolasers is the only way to take them out.

6:48 let’s remember that air at standard atmospheric pressure and at room temperature only weights 1 kg per cubic meter. A car or other vehicle in an atmosphere has the speed of the air moving past that adds to the violence of the vehicle being suddenly opened while in transit and is decompressing. In real life explosive decompression in space would not be nearly as violent as in a car or aircraft. Even in a large room the amount of energy that the air would impart for a give hole size wouldn’t be very great. The force exerted by the air flowing out would be noticeable but it wouldn’t suck anyone out or anything. My guess is that the depiction of hull breaches in The Expanse (where a breach can be calmly repaired with a thin plate and fast-acting glue) is probably accurate.

What are the other movies shown in this video? Looks cool

dude I thought you had at least one milion subs how did I not know

I think balans use of the lightsaber, akin to a great sword is more intimidating in that he bearly moves it and somone is dead

There's a reason soldiers call hallways (and busses and aircraft fuselages) "fatal funnels".

I just realised that there is a clear logical reason for close range ship to ship combat in Starwars. They have tractor beams that can catch small ships and prevent them from escape velocity. Those same tractor beams could easily catch an incoming torpedo mid flight and potentially throw it back like a catapult or use it as a reactive shield barrier. From scanner distance, with ship maneuvering speeds in mind, laser weapons and blasters would take too long to reach to hit a target effectively and lose effectiveness at range regardless.

I think this warfare is a serious danger, for every crew of a naval warship today.

Yep. Rack up the 1000 battle points, play as Vader, go mental. Good stuff, good times.

Full auto is the best way to beat a Jedi. The clones had heavy blasters and they worked very well.

You know all this makes me want to see is a redone battle over leia's cruiser. How a ship that can completey engulf another ship outplays their defensive measures just by happening to be so much bigger.

If you're talking about the naval ship battle at 2:09, it’s from “Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World”, starring Russell Crowe. This movie has been lauded for its accurate portrayal of 1800s naval warfare.

And its like.. why does every sci-fi race NOT USE riot shields for ship boarding?? The Covenant from Halo are apparently the only sci-fi race thats smart enough to use shields as boarding vanguard?

Yeah like the Jackal shields/hunters to be the meat shields, even the cut Elite shield enemy from CE who blocks doorways for other troops to pass. (which sucks that the shield like the jackals was never an ability to use in the games) Was that elite type used in the lore? I’d be surprised if it wasn’t.

I always wondered, if those ships have artificial gravity, why didn't defenders ever use it? Just disable segment with the attackers and then immediately reanable, possibly, with elevated power. When you are standing on your feet, experiencing 2+ g might be quite devastating.

YEAH! That’s a big point! But then again… these ships don’t use AI like in Halo that could control such settings. And we’re putting too much thought into a series that is needing outside inspiration badly.

Read "The Last Angel." It is a story of a cadet ship discovering an ancient capital ship wreckage, thought long dead and ripe for salvage. Alas, its AI remains alive...
