I hope this is in the right area. It didn't seem like a versus thread.


I'm going with Soontir Fel.

Fel is a badass, his story got lame though.

Well, Wedge and Han are top pilots. Tycho.


Oh yes, Rookie One from Rebel Assault!

Boba or Jango perhaps?

I like to look at what they flew, as well. Fel used either a standard TIE Fighter or TIE Interceptor. By the ime of Endor, he had built up an illustrious career in fighters that most pilots hoped to just survive 1 year in. Tycho Celchu is good, too, but he was taught by Fel, as was Derek "Hobbie" Klivian. In fact, only Wedge was seen as Fel's rival as the greatest pilot in the galaxy, after Vader's death.

No shields means high turnover I bet.

Who are you exactly? Not Rudy, surely?

it's PTforthewin

I guess I have to look that guy up. Might be after my time, or else I just don't remember him.

Yep, way after my time. Makes me think of Fallout: Trolling, Trolling never changes.

It's obvious as ****.

Speaking of Iraq: That's some heavy stuff they are going through right now. I kinda have a problem with militant Islam.

Soontir Fel and Marek Stele come to mind. Also, some of those great Rebel pilots defected from the Empire: Tycho Celchu, Biggs Darklighter, Derek Klivian, to name a few.

Change the comic, you're not? Even with punctuation those words don't mean anything.

No shields meant no learning from their mistakes in the empire. No way to get better when they were always just dead.

It also meant a higher learning curve. You're more susceptible to mistakes, with shields catching a few stray shots. TIE pilots didn't have that luxury. No shields meant that everything had to be perfect. No need to learn from your mistakes, if you didn't make any.

Well, we focus on them less. There's no 'TIE fighter' book series like there is an X-wing one, after all.

The ones I know of note are Vader (of course), Soontir Fel and Maarek Stele (Of the TIE Fighter games, force sensitive) as Kalen mentioned, and Gunn Yage from Legacy.

Mind you, the learning curve wasn't *that* different- in the movies, one burst would regularly kill a shielded ship and TIEs were giving almost as good as they got at Endor. Shields mostly helped against glancing hits.

Um ima go old school on your asses and say Rhys Dallows, Nym, Vana Sage from the Star Wars: Starfighters game. those three fought through highly impossible odds imo.

Gradd. In new canon, he is said to be the best pilot in the Empire after Darth Vader.

Lando

Lando was very good, as was Han, Jango, and Boba. I would still give the edge to Soontir Fel, followed closely behind by Wedge, though.
