Best Star Pilot of All Time




i think it, in my opinion it was Wedge. he was really good and up to par with the jedi knights, also considering he culdnt use the force. the force enhances reflexes, and he had no force enhance his (considerably good) reflexes, that seems to me like a good enough reason to give it to Wedge.

plz share your thoughts and arguements with me.

oh and jedi pilots are included in this debate.

Anakin Skywalker must be the best pilot ever (even as a crippled 40year old man with a breathing disorder, and flying a TIE fighter he managed to disarm Wedge and destroy the rest of the Rebel Squadron.)

Obi-Wan said that Anakin was the best star pilot of all time and Wedge said Luke was the best.

Well, I'm not totally sure who is THE greatest but here are some of the best:
Anakin Skywalker
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Jango Fett
Boba Fett
Luke Skywalker
Saesee Tiin
Jaina Solo
Jag Fel
Wedge Antilles
Gavin Darklighter
Kyp Durron
Biggs Darklighter
Han Solo
Lando Calrissian (pretty good)

I think Luke would be higher up their. He became a general or commander, I forget, for the rebels. Plus Luke destroyed the DeathStar which should give him some extra points.

not bad guys


but obi wan didnt know about wedge. just because one persons says anakin is the best dosent mean its true (unless GL). and obi wan didnt say he was the best of all time. he just said in the galaxy but that dosent mean it is true, espcially considering where he ended up. he culdnt possibly say of all time. it sounded more liek a compliment than an actual statment.

i mean dont ge me wrong, anankin was a great pilot no doubt, but also consider that the non-jedi pilots dont have the force and have to depend on luck and instinct.

i still say wegde

He was the only human that can do Pod Racing.

Uhhh, my list wasn't in any order...

Has to be a force sensitive, they're just... better then anone else.

yeah your right about that, but the fact that some non-force users are able to do what jedi can do in a starship, is what gives them cool points IMO. i still give it to wegde.

Prolly Anakin or Luke, they'r power in the force far exceeds what is possible with skill alone.

(please answer that question im pretty ignorant of luke's piloting skills) and as far as the death star goes. i belive wegde (or any other pilot)culd have done that if Han had been their to save him too. wegde got taken out cuz he was cover fire ( or a distraction if you ask me) so luke could have time for a clear shot.

Now people probably won't agree with this but one of the best (not the best but up there) I think is IG-88. If anyone else has read his story in the bounty hunter book they will know what I'm talking about. He can perform several moves that would kill organics, calculate probabilities in microseconds, and more. He crippled the Slave 1 but one of his selves was destroyed. Anywho, he's pretty good but not the best.

And cut them from the force and they are weaker than others, Luke couldn't deflect the blaster bolts until he had that helmet on, if Assaj Ventress did not have the force she would have been shot down by Anakin. They rely on the Force, and it weakens them, that is the lesson of KotOR 2.

exactly why, Wedge is the man when it comes piloting

How many Jedi have been cut from the force? Like 3 that we know of. You raise an excellent point however. Does this thread mean skill based alone, or with the force as well?

i guess, considering everybody's valid points about the jedi. Ill go off skill for this debate.

best jedi pilot IMO: Anakin Skywalker

Skill Pilot: Wedge Antilles

probably Anakin

Jag is really underrated, yet very very skilled.

true....I like Jag too bad nothing serious became of him and Jaina

Im not counting jedi or them people. so im goin with Wedge

yep wedge is the man.

I know that Rogue Squadron wasn't created at that time. That was why I said Rebel Squadron, meaning the Rebel fleet they used in ANH as they hadn't gotten any official name. Nevertheless, Anakin did wipe out all the best pilots (at the time of ANH) of the Rebellion .

Anakin Skywalker is the best, Obi-Wan said so.

I don't believe for one moment that Jedi are over-reliant on their force skills. Not as a general rule, anyway.

It must be said, all Vader did in ANH was go in a straight line in a faster ship and press the fire button- barely any skill involved.

But if yuo score Luke for destroying the Deatjh Star when Wedge got hit... well, by the same logic, Wedge took out the AT-AT at Hoth, when Luke got shot down trying to do the same.

HAN SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all the way baby!

oh yeah that sucker vader never saw him comin!!!!!

I'd say Han as well. It must be alot harder to pull off the maneuvers that he does in a ship the size of the Falcon. The asteroid chase in ESB is still one of my favourite space scenes in the whole saga.

I say Lando's gotta be the best. He can fly better than anyone when he's stoned.

He's the only one in the galaxy who buys enough glitterstim spice from Kessel to make a high nigg*r-pie.

hey! lay off the "N" word

Wedge, definately. I mean, think about it. He is at least the best non force sensitive pilot. To survive Yavin, Hoth, Endor, Bakura, Bilbringi, Couracant, and all the various Rouge and Wraith squadron missions, you have to be Pretty D**N Good. Most pilots don't live more than a few minutes in combat, they could log a few hours if their lucky. Wedge was a pilot for YEARS.

Well, I'm an EU dork, so, most of my favorites are the Rogue Squadron guys. Such as:

Wedge Antilles
Tycho Celchu
Corran Horn

yet I've got to give credit to Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, who was a master with the falcon...least what you see of him. Vader's a tad overrated, imo, as is Jango and Boba

Kenobi too, at least at his best, was quite impressive...

I'm surprised no one's said Baron Fel yet
