Empire Defeated By Ewoks
Sticks and rocks , lol. And people make fun of the Disney films. π
shareI read somewhere that Lucas wanted to make a point of a technologically inferior group being able to take on advanced technology sort of like the US Military and their failure in the Vietnam War.
Wookies were to be used at first, but then changed to Ewoks. Very sad, I wish they had stuck with Wookies, it would have been much more believable then.
Still doesn't explain how 40 Star Destroyers and 1 Super Star Destroyer were unable to wipe out the tiny Rebel Fleet over Endor though.
The Imperial forces were not expecting the Rebel ships to bombard them at point-blank range, just to keep from being blasted by the Death Star.
Indeed, that is certainly true, and Admiral Piett did mention the Emperor's orders of not attacking just preventing them from escaping, the remaining Imperial fleet (probably some 20-30 Imperial-class Star Destroyers) left the system in total confusion after 4 of its major leaders were wiped out almost all at the same time.
- Emperor Palpatine
- Lord Darth Vader
- Moff Jerjerrod
- Admiral Piett

That doesn't make any sense. Basic military strategy is to use forces that are complementary. If you have a Death Star that can blast everything in a long range, then you're interested in having around forces that are very effective in short point-blank range protecting it.
It doesn't make any sense because that's exactly what any force going with a Giant Space Cannon should expect in first place.
Same strategy used with tanks. You don't have around other vehicles but foot soldiers, extremely effective at close range and able to protect the tanks from short range attacks. share
