So what would I do about the Xyston problem then? Well, if I worked on the creative team at Lucasfilm, I would have designed a new ship from the ground up.
I hate it when the plot of the movie requires the bad guys to have a problem the good guys can magically overcome. I know Exegol is in an uncharted part of the Unknown Regions but somehow, the heroes and the Resistance fleet managed to find their way to Exegol with no problem at all. A navigational tower existed on the planet for this purpose." That's a quote from Wookiepedia and yes, this is Canon. Oh, and the biggest flaw for plot reasons, the Xyston's could not leave Exegol's atmosphere because they "required a navigational beacon in order to leave Exegol. This just sounds impractical.Īlso, if the movie is anything to go by, the Final Order/Sith Eternal had hundreds of these on Exegol, all with the same flaws as the ISD-1 they're based off of. This increase applies to everything on the Xyston, so things like the bridge, reactor, that tractor beam array, shield generators etc are 1.5x bigger. So, a normal ISD-1 comes in at 1600 metres long, while the Xyston comes in at 2406 metres long, making it roughly 1.5x larger than the ISD-1. Being a scaled up Rogue One model, the specs were scaled up too. So, the eagle-eyed fans (myself included) noticed that the Xyston is in fact, not a brand new ship, in fact it's a scaled up ISD-1 model taken directly from Rogue One and the hull was remodelled to accommodate the big boi laser taken off presumably the Mandator 4 model as seen in The Last Jedi.
There's no current canon lore explanation to why the Xyston was designed off of an ISD-1, as by the time of Rise of Skywalker, the design would have been 53 years old! That's really old for a ship of the line design, especially when the former Empire was all about cutting edge tech.
Star Wars fans would have noticed that it was based on the design for the ISD-1 as it has an exposed tractor beam array, rather than an internal one, as was fitted to the ISD-2. Sure, it has a cool name but that's about it. And then we have the Star Destroyer as seen in Rise of Skywalker the Xyston-Class.
