Why were there so few Imperial Ships at Endor? - Star Wars Lore #Shorts

Well, they did take down the Super Star Destroyer without Ewok Help. With the loss of the command ship, the Imperial Fleet would have been in disarray for the rest of the battle.

what is the background music called?

So bears ruined an otherwise great plan. Bears make everything worse…except forest fires.

Why did palpatine even leak the real plans

Its yrue the alliance would have noticed if he moved ships beforehand, and perhaps if it wasnt for his arrogance, he could have signalled plenty of other ships to standby at their posts until the trap was sprung, he could have had dozens of others jump to Endor after "its a trap"

Also, the Empire just didn't deem it necessary. The Rebell alliance had only very few cruisers and not even one that even came close in firepower to even a single Star Destroyer. Imperial-class Destroyers were the pinnacle of capital ships at the time, being surpassed only by the Executor-class. They were able to deal with entire smaller fleets and control an entire star system by themselves and the Executor surpassed even them by far. Over Endor we had 30 Imperial Star Destroyers and the Executor plus the Death Star which could destroy rebell capital ships with a single shot. This was already considered overkill for a rather small fleet like the Rebell fleet by inperial command. No-one ever thought it possible that even without the Death Star, the rebells could've possibly won against and fleet. No-one ever thought that they could even scratch the executor, let alone destroy it.

The entire battle of Endor on the ground was a Space Vietnam with teddy bears, and they navigated the Rebel's Trail

They didnt had to deal against teddy bears with sticks. Environment was their enemy. Red forest made imperial numbers futile

Blame imperial comms

That’s so stupid and amazing at the same time that just stuffed bears caused the empire to collapse.

Long live the empire

If you played any of the games back in the day you’d know there were battles all across the universe. Tie fighter collectors cd concludes with your commanding officer telling you that they excitingly await word from the battle of endor. The battle you just fought consisted of a big imperial fighting force in itself

freaking bear with stick won the war

It was more of the rebels that turned the tide in their own favor.

Remember, the only reason the ewoks actually joined was because they were manipulated into thinking C3PO was a God

actually blame the sequels for all of this

Or maybe there is problem with scale in sw

Chewbacca is the true hero of Endor. HE hijacked the ATST to trick the shield bunker to open which led the the shield coming down which allowed Lando and Wedge to destroy the Death Star.
The Wookie Tarzan yell marked the Empire’s downfall.

also, they are enforcing the rule of imperial might elsewhere in the galaxy

What was stopping palpy from moving like 50 star destroyers, a few hundred support ships like cruisers and hide them a short jump away. Nobody is gonna notice that 0.0002 percent of SD are missing and it would pulverize the rebels. Or you know, just re-call ships on missions in places like the unknown regions

Yeah. Blame the midget Wookies.

Wait, someone with more more knowledge of star wars Legends lore explain to me, is it really real that the Empire had fucking 25000 Star Destroyers???

Star Wars fans are swarming this and I’m a Star Wars fan so I should know but dang the amount of people

I sometimes wonder that I saw the real battle of Endor decades after, in James Cameron’s Avatar.

But then they coudl e also Sent the star destroyers after the rebels arrived.

I blame the Empire for this defeat. If they had simply gone on a shoot-to-kill policy instead of taking the rebels prisoners. None of this would have happened.

Idk why but this video, context, music, script, the dreading wight of the situation just hits hard. But holy dam those vocals and the sheer might lf the imps. Its just wow

We all know the Empire should've won, but well, plot armour

i love how people try do these lore reasons as to why things were so underwhelming in movies. the real reason was the film came out during a time where you couldnt do anything on the that kinda scale.

If the Galactic Empire had been as Xenocidial as the Empire Of Man then the battle of Endor would have gone according to Palpatines plan. All it would have taken was a couple of hours of orbital bombardment from a task force of star destroyers before they began the construction of the shield generators and there would have been no stone age teddy bears around to oppose them.

The real reason is because making that many ships and moving the around back then was extremely expensive and time consuming 😂.

Endor was literally the empire’s vietnam

When the trees start speaking teddy bear

Well also in the lore large fleets we’re stationed outside the Calamari and Chandrilla sectors to move in after Ensor and help suppress those areas pending the DS2 arrival

“Why didn’t the Axis powers pool all their might on the beach at Normandy” is basically the question 😂 just dumb ppl asking dumb questions

No, it's because it was the original trilogy back before shit got way too complicated and convoluted

No, blame Luke Skywalker for manipulating the Ewoks. (Ironically, that's what the Sith would do.)

That is good to know, I thought it was unimaginative fiction writing.

Star wars sucks balls

I blame the useless armor storm troopers wear. My god, they can get knocked out by falling rocks, arrows, blasters, even puched out. What exactly does it protect from?

I blame plot armor and stupid strategy

"Really, at the end of the day, blame the Ewoks."

Words to live by...

Also want to point out in the movie, during the planning session, Mon Montha points out that the Imperial fleet was currently deployed across the entire galaxy in an effort to engage the rebel fleet.

Hmm still could have warped in more ISDs during the battle

No sabe hablar español 🇪🇸🇪🇸

What's theme in the background?

Nah, I’d use all of them to be certain of victory

Im sorry but if Ewoks were what brought the empire down how the hell did it last for 23years? Because if a half self aware teddybear can beat the empire then im pretty sure any drunken smuggler could. On a side note remember when Palps said to Luke "you refer to your friends on Endor? an entire Legion of my best troops await them!" Near as i can tell a Legion of Storm Troopers would amount to 4000 troops, TBH you wouldnt be able to sneeze without disturbing a Storm Trooper. There would be insufficient rebrls + Ewoks to defeat 4000 troops! Only reson they won is because anout 3920 troops went awol!

Super

😂 Jermaine fault

Lol.

Because Star Wars’ lore hadn’t yet been broken by Disney sequel stupidity. That’s why.
