Considering that they field some of the most modern technology and built Star Destroyers meant specifically for countering other Imperial ships, it doesn't surprise me that the New Republic had a formidable defense fleet. I mean, the Nebula class Star Destroyers were made specifically to counter and even out gun Imperial-class Star Destroyers! Sure the new Republic is awful in terms of politics, but many people tend to overlook the New Republic defense Fleet in some regards. But I never overlooked it

You can have the best troops in the universe and ships every bit their equal. Doesn't mean squat if you have a civilian government that is too scared/cheap/whatever to use when it's needed, like with Navarro and it's pirates or the thing with Thrawne. Neither issue required more than a small task force consisting of at most a light cruiser. Both are *entirely* valid and even necessary uses of military resources. Disney's attempts to make the Republic of the pt has turned it into a joke of a Straw Man. The NR can't even handle it's basic duties. It would be one thing if it were a government made of revolutionaries. But the Rebellion was a revolution made by senators and the ousted/subjugated local governments during its entirety and even more so after 19BBY. Those people KNEW how BOTH governments worked from personal experience. They wouldn't have suddenly forgotten right after they won and it's not like they would've had a plan in place

I think it's pretty clear in the Sequels that the First Order was rather afraid of the Republic's full power. They fear Luke Skywalker's return because they think he can convince the Republic to take firm action against them, and they only attack once they can use Starkiller Base to decapitate the Republic leadership and destroy a large (and presumably the most elite) portion of their fleet. I think it's perfectly valid to think that the Republic would be able to match a conventional FO invasion, mobilize the thousands of civilian and local government ships that showed up at Exegol and activate a much larger industrial base and population to win a war of attrition. The First Order, even after 30 years, could barely match the half-paying-attention Republic's capabilities without an extremely OP superweapon.

The real issue is that the Republic didn't have a dedicated ship brawler. Venators did fine against the smaller Providence cruisers, but the dreadnought-scale versions used as flagships by Trench and Grievous were much larger and required more numbers (which is understandable). Say the Republic had a dedicated gun platform, basically an ISD but smaller and more reasonably designed, that could operate in squadron with a Venator or two providing fighter support, they'd be much better able to punch above their weight against larger vessels.

That role has been overplayed in Star Wars since Empire Strikes Back at the Battle of Hoth. They need to show specialization in capital ships. You can't have a a submarine to do the destroyer's role or vice-versa. If the MC80 is playing super carrier role, then where are the picket ships that escort it. They can't be carriers, too.

Cause we just haven't seen much of what really makes a Navy, namely the crews really being dedicated and brave and knowing their stuff and their leadership having a clue, ...if what we've seen so far is meant to be kind of the exception, presumably a not-too-rare exception, we should really see some of em be on the ball or at least make sense once in a while. :) I suppose I'd rather see a bit more nuance there. LIke it looks like it wouldn't have changed the outcome much if the cruiser Baylan met had a bit more going on upstairs, you know?

I disagree on the idea of a free market being necessary; in fact, the free market is what allowed Morgan Elsbeth to use the New Republic's own shipyards on Corellia to build the Eye of Sion.

Then manipulated Dooku into backing a droid Separatist war on the Republic by conquering outer rim worlds that didn't join them. That's not free trade. That's corruption. Sidious is entire plan was to undermine the Republic and turn it into a dictatorship. Eslpeth is using greed and corruption to fund her personal war in order to achieve power. Free trade and a capitalistic system is not necessarily free of greed or corruption anymore than a closed controlled dictorial system. The difference here is that in a republic, power is shared among the people while in a corrupt dictatorial system power is held by only a few while the rest are made to serve the dictatorship.

10:22 I beg to differ here. It used to be the minority party would work with the majority party and each side would make concessions to the other in a good-faith effort to craft the best policy, one that takes into consideration the opposing point of view. The majority didn’t stream roll the minority and in turn the minority didn’t use procedural hurdles or antics to impede the process. Sure it wasn’t perfect and progress toward a more free and just society for all, under these terms, was made incrementally but at the same time as progress was made on one front, backsliding occurred on another. Now politicians in the US aren’t even liked by their constituents from their same party because many of their constituents are now so cynical about government meanwhile politicians are spending increasingly astronomical amounts of money to promote their elections and relying more on big money donors, so the politicians stop listening to their constituents and instead cater to their donors.

@kenle2

That's because we are also spending beyond "astronomical amounts of money" on EVERYTHING else besides elections. And someone has to pay for it. And that amount of money makes the people who distribute it in the government insulated and free to indulge their own beliefs and values without regard to anything a "minority" wants or even regards to their rights. The trappings of democracy mean little when a bureaucrat can just say "these are the rules and regulations. Just elect a different legislature if you want to change them, but until then, we'll write them and enforce them however we damn well please. Or you can go to court against our permanent administrative system. That will take you 10 years and cost millions. Have a nice day."

The Rebel Alliance was confident and smart, the Empire aswell was very smart and perhaps over confident in some ways, but when the war ended, it was back to bureaucracy.

Since the Cal Kestis trilogy will probably push into the return of the Jedi era or maybe even after when the New Republic finally is starting to form... or takes place throughout both, I hope we see some cool New Republic military vehicles.

My only difference of opinion with this video is you're assuming the Republic Navy would magically gain the tactical and strategic know how to use their ships and carriers effectively against the Empire. They say that every military is built to win the last war it fought. The Empire military is very much an example of this, where super powerful battleships carry only enough cheap easily replaced fighters to screen themselves as they advance to brawling distance to wipe out the carrier/battleship hybrids and their support fleet. This was the exact Clone Wars era tactic both sides but especially the Republic for some reason employed that the Imperial tactics evolved to beat. In a "the Republic military and Imperial military are dropped into a timewarp from their Palpatines on down, and both start fighting" scenario, the Imperial military would likely come out on top. This is because the tactics and equipment of the Republic were severely compromised by both Palpatine feeding a stalemate and the Jedi themselves overconfidence in their individual abilities. Core doctrinal flaws like this are extremely hard to overcome, and would likely be fatally so for the Republic military. This isn't to say I disagree with the core of your analysis, just that I disagree with that specific example. Given the capabilities and equipment of the Republic military, it SHOULD be able to easily overcome the Empire. But the misuse of equipment and core flaws in its tactics would likely lead to crippling losses in the opening engagement against the already numerically and doctrinally evolved Empire.

Point in support of this. The Imperial War Machine is not hampered by the Jedi Ideology and Imperial Officers don't take backseat to Jedi who 'Are keepers of the peace. Not Soldiers.' Very few Jedi were as capable as Anakin and Obi-Wan. So unless you equip your average Task Force with one of the rare exceptional Jedi Generals, the Imperial War Machine will walk all over your Republic Task Force because Imperial Officers are free and encouraged to be Aggressive with proper war doctrine as opposed to average Jedi shenanigans.

As much as I love small and midsized ships in general and Star Wars I'm not sure I would want to go one on one with an ISD in the New Republic Cruiser (Which I still think is probably a Frigate based on its size) From what we see in the movies and TV shows Imperial Starfighters don't usually do as poorly against Rebel starfighters as they do in the books and games so I'm not sure a two squadron deficient wouldn't hurt the New Republic ship's chances badly. Also if the cruiser doesn't have the firepower to hold its own against the ISD its best hope of winning a battle IMO is to knock out the ISD before its fighters need to rearm and refuel. New Republic starfighters have a much higher anti-ship capability then their Imperial counterparts on average but they run out of ammo for their heavy weapons fast, and the time it takes to load their launcher in a hanger bay could easily give an ISD the time to blow their carrier to ashes unless the carrier has the guns to hold off an ISD or defenses which can hold out against the ISD's weapons long enough to get the fighter back into the battle.

Given how absurdly under-armed for their size most of the Resistance capital ships were in the ST the onboard weapons or lack thereof of on a Vespar is a concern unless something offical shows otherwise. There's a reason Venators had enough weapons to hold their own against a warship in a straight fight. Because in a setting where FTL works the way it does in Star Wars there's always a reasonable risk that an enemy ship can jump in and force combat while most of the fighters are away or when they are reloading on board, and the carrier needs enough punch to hold such an attack off.

is it only me or Alan's camera was not well focused? lol

I would put another argument in the New Republic fleet's favor. The New Republic military command knew that the First Order could try something which is why they've put most of the fleet in the Hosnian System. And they predicted the First Order correctly since it truly tried to destroy the New Republic in one swift strike against its capital. The miscalculation was just that the First Order wouldn't use its fleet but a system destroying superweapon.

I hope we get to see this in action somehow, and it also sucks that the story has to play into the sequel trilogy. I also don't buy that the new Republic would be as useless as it is since the rebellion was decently competent, but if the new Republic isn't completely moronic then the events of TFA wouldn't have happened

If they managed to acquire hundreds of B and X wings under the Empire's nose and even capture a fucking starship carrier, I'm sure a Venator, which were being scrapped on hundreds of planets, would have been at least a plausible acquisition for the Rebels. It'd be nice to see a modified "rebel" Venator, perhaps using a patchwork of ISD parts to replace aging and battle-damaged components, maybe parts of the superstructure previously enclosed within the hull have become exposed due to shortages of materials for repairs and/or parts cannibalism for other parts of the ship. That would be one _hell_ of a capital ship design in my opinion.

I always thought Palpatine was inspired by pizza when he commissioned the design of the Star Destroyers. Because they do look a bit like pizza slices.

The part about the ones at the top getting kicked down, you do acknowledge we're not the first to do or think that. Or to have that problem.

Or even the matters with the Romans and Egyptians.

the problem is the new rep. will within 100 years or so become the new sith empire basically so what's the point? can not recall if this is cannon or such so much reading out there to recall. but in one clip it talks about jedi, sith, and rep. alliance if that helps what timeline this is.

Star Destroyers are made for _space_ combat. Line-of-sight weapons make a lot more sense when horizons don't exist (except in and around planets, and even then a ship sitting in orbit has a horizon distance in the four-figures range at least). Honestly, if it wasn't for the hand-wave nature of the show, fighters wouldn't exist.

so in my mind the problem is that the core worlds are too cozy they didnt really see that much of a problem when the Empire was in charge and now they just see all this talk of dangers lurking on the outer rim as people trying to feel important again, in there mind its a case of why should i be concerned everything around here is fine, meanwhile the person standing right next to them smiling at them is someone that's an empire sympathizer that would love nothing more than to shove this cut of (i forget what they call coffee in star wars) down your throat till you choke on my fist but on the outside they just say ""oh dont worry ill cover the rest of the shift you go home and bee with your kids"" you think they are been nice but they just dont want you around one its easier to mess with the numbers when your not there and to they dont have to look at your face yes they can fudge the numbers while your there but if you do happen to wake up from your slumber and see what they are doing and well its just a pain to have to dispose of the body. then you have all the old members of the rebellion that aren't in the core worlds because they were inconvenient to have around so they were pushed into the background or given backwater post to keep them out of the way they are seeing all the warning signs and there warnings are falling on deaf ears but they are incomand of powerful ships that cant do anything because they don't have orders to despite repeated request to let them look into problems.

It's like if the Imperial Navy got a do-over and instead of Star Destroyers committed to Arquitens

Not strong enough to survive the First Order tho. Ohhhh burnn, literally

@@bet0v966 I think it was 20-25 years and I was thinking more in line with an evacuation/scattering formation plan so that the Republic Fleet could survive. It's just seeing them without these kind of contingency plans makes the Republic Defense Fleet so incompetent

@@MinhVu-yz5rr There was no way for them to evacuate that New Republic capital planet or the ones next to it. The attack by that new super weapon happened so fast. By the time they noticed, their skies were already enveloped in the coming red glow. There was no contingency plan for another super weapon. For all the New Republic knew nothing that big was going on. By time we get to a lil before sequel trilogy, there are no Imperial remnants left in the open & no attacks, nor any fighting between planets they needed to placate. That’s why its fleet basically disappears. There was no enemy or potential threat. Once people like Leia were saying there was one in the Outer Rim, The First Order, coming it was too late b/c they TFO had planted supporters in the senate & imperial loyalists who prevented any rearmament to prepare

If the New Republic was competent, the plot, and their eventual defeat, couldn't happen... that's why!

What was the source of that "incompetence" though? If there's undiscovered imperial loyalists throughout, then it becomes comparable to the criminal Underworld that also pervades society, largely unchecked. "Agendas" get pushed by extremists. People become "hurt" or "victims" and demand justice. Such people may inspire others to be "victims" which then all becomes mainstream. These people then enter leadership positions, to further their original agenda that may run counter to popular/reasonable society. Like rotting from the inside out.

New Republic Fleet got that big hand-fin energy.

i do wonder what kind of ship will take over after the carrier? maybe as aircraft gets better we dont need carriers to store them and the idea of a fleet wil be obselet?

That probably won't happen for a long while. We already have the capability to strike the other side of the world from the Central US, but once those planes run out of ordinance... The ability to rearm so close is key to the power projection.

I have a question: Can the nomadic tactics such as pillaging the enemy's territory and feigned retreat will worked in space warfare? From how I see it during the Clones Wars, it seemed to work well for the Separatists and they only lost because of Palpatine did not want them to win.

What kind of space warfare? Star Wars? Yup, space is so big that you can always just hide somewhere and strike whenever you want on everything with exception of heavily fortified targets. Hard sci-fi? Why pillage, when you can shot planet-cracking kinetic projectile or Nicol Dyson Beam at target? About less advanced hard sci-fi, it could force enemy to split his forces, but he will exactly know where you are nearly all the time, because there is no realistic stealth in space for a spacecraft.

As a PoliSci and History major, I can agree with that. The current timeline's fucked.

Planes were not the initial counter to battleships.. the mine... the torpedo and then the submarine launched torpedo were... battleships can still be very relevant due to their unique abilities...

The galactic Republic was so long its enough time foy more species to emerge

As a political science major what you said about us is true. In class today we were wondering when people would care enough to cane eachother on the house fool again.

I don't know if I agree with the idea that a Repuilic era (clone wars) fleet would wipe the floor with an Imperial fleet. Yes, in the real world aircraft carriers will beat battleships because the carriers can usually send out several waves of attack aircraft in the time it would take for the battleships to get close. Okay-Now what if the battleships can teleport? Or move so fast that they cannot be engaged by the air wings until they are already in gunnery range of the carriers? Light speed travel exists in the Star Wars universe-Which means big gun battleships are highly effective. I'd also argue that the tie fighter compliment of an ISD would be quite capable of fending off Clone attack craft, since Ties are dedicated anti-fighter ships wheras the heavier Republican 'fighters' compromise their dogfighting abilities by being designed to attack capital ships.

Is majority rule form of democracy or the greatest threat to democracy

✌️✌️

The new republic built the type of ship that the empire should have built. The cruiser that they have is a much more efficient use of resources. Especially because of the hyper drive capable fighter squadrons on board new republic cruisers. Long range scouting can actually be done by X-Wing fighters and Y-wings rather than using the whole ship to patrol a given area.

15:27, somewhat disagree with the motion that defense spending can't create economic growth in free economic systems. Such as how individual states can benefit from factories placed in their territory, e.g. US state representatives that hold and produce nuclear warheads heavily advocate for increased ICBM production mainly in their territory to increase local employment, local spending and thus Aggregate Expenditure, increasing GDP. Good video and concept though.

Alan, love your videos but the focus needs help. Still watched though.

Shortening what I said on the last one, the smaller transport and carrier focused navy are hyper-efficient. No one builds super-heavies anymore. It’s cheaper this way.

Since you say that sometimes your channel goes too far to one side and likes to go to the other side afterward, are you going to talk about all of the corruption in Ukraine and how the US via NATO, considering their behavior toward Russia over the last few decades, shares a significant amount of blame for the conflict going on between Russia and Ukraine now and draw the comparisons between this real world situation and what's going on with the new Republic, the remaining imperials, and the subsequent First Order? Long sentence 😅 Good video still and love your channel for years now!

When are you just going to make a geopolitical channel? I feel like a majority of your audience would subscribe to that.

If one more youtuber pulls off the "speak softly and keep a big stick behind your back" quote, then its getting sus.

If im a later, they ain't workin, try an other one.

Doesn't seem to matter since the entire fleet got destroyed in the sequels
