Why arent Wedge Antilles and Soontir Fel on this list?
They're by far the best pilots, better in my opinion than anakin and any other force-user, because they dont have the force to augment their abilities, and anybody else because well..... they're legendary starfighter pilots, who led legendary starfighter squadrons. but personally i think Soontir Fel is the best.
Baron Soontir Fel
(please log in to view the image)
Took the 181st Tie Fighter Squardon, which was one of the worst in the imperial fleet, and turned it into an elite squadron, he was also the leader of the elite tie fighter Saber Squadron, and when he was captured, and defected to the rebellion he was apart of Rogue Squadron, before returning to the empire to become a General in the Imperial Navy under Admiral Thrawn and his later successors.
NJO Luke could pilot a ship better than a full crew thanks to the force, plus being a great pilot even without knowing of the force and all, practically always racing on his free time and being in Rouge Squadron!

Han Solo - he even snuck up on the "best star pilot in the galaxy" and ****ed his shit up ! And he's a non force sensitive. Anakin probably wouldn't be that spectacular if he didn't use the force, although it obviously didn't help him much at the battle of Yavin

No, Han just had the dopest ship...but he was a good pilot, but not better than Anakin. And the fact that he's not a force sensitive is irrelevant, it doesn't matter why someone is good, just that they are.
I could say, oh Anakin could pwn Yoda if Yoda wasn't force sensitive...does that make much sense?

well yes it does actually.
I mean fair enough if ALL the pilots in the poll were Jedi but their not which gives them an advantage over non sensitives

no, you just have to take in consideration the level on which they performed. Out of non force sensitives, yes, I'd say Han would be the best, and Ankin for the reverse, but the ship doesn't do anything then what the pilot makes it do. So in that essence, using the force doesn't matter. Just the reaction time of which the pilot responds with.

Hmmm so using the force doesn't help you pilot a ship?BS! The Force would give you better reaction times!
it appears Qui Gon disagrees with you
"He can see things before they happen. That's why he appears to have such quick reflexes."
Anyways i was just biggin' up Solo for getting one over on Darth Vader.

i still say soontir fel, you cant ignore the fact that a force-sensitive pilot has the force at his disposal, whether hes aware of it or not (in the case of pod racing). It augments there abilities, naturally a force-sensitive of course with some skill in piloting would do better than the average pilot, maybe even a veteran pilot.
