In a sense...I guess (Since Star Destroyers and Death Stars are made of the same subatomic energy that all the SW universe is made of. 😛 )

Yet they are shown to be Jedi equipment in AOTC, Clone Wars and ROTS..!! And sith Equipment after that point til the end.

Just like wands, magic brooms and Spellbooks're standard HP gear.

Thats indisputable.

Nah, not really.

🙄

Something about ANH has always bugged me. Luke Skywalker, a noob, a farmboy form Tattooine with zero starfighter experience, is suddenly entrusted with an X Wing?

If you watch the movie, you'll see that its questioned/addressed, and Biggs vouches for him.

(Thats was added in 97 release and has been there since.)

It went something like:

Biggs:"Sir, Luke is the best pushed pilot in the outer rim"
Officer (reassured smiles at luke) "you'll do alright."

There's also the fact that he used to bullseye womprats in his t-16, back at home, and they were no bigger than 2 meters. FACT!

And did I mention FACT!

*RJ, seasoned fighter pilot, introduces sadako to his wing commander.*

"Hey Cap, sadako here is a kickass pilot, give him an f-16 ftw!!!!"

Cap: "GTFO, noob."

Yeah but if you were the rebel equivalent of Chuck Yeager, which Biggs seemed to be then, I'd be set.

Besides, the gave Porkins and X wing, and that guy would barely fit inside an X-wing.

Imagine how hard THAT conversation was convincing the flight commander....

Biggs: "Commander, Porkins here is the best pushed pilot in the outer rim.'

Commander: "The outer rim of the Salad bowl, perhaps...?
The outer rim, perhaps of the circular Jenny Craig queue...?
Is he down to the outer rim of bone of that blue whale yet or is he still wading through it with this trusty ketchup bottle...?
Now get the f*** off of my beloved flight deck, mister..."

Porkins haermm

Heh. 😛

Still, what kind of Commander just up and puts a farmboy in an X Wing, despite one of his ace pilots vouching for him? Doesn't make sense.

The Xwing apparently wasn't all that different from the Xwing, controls wise.

And Biggs word carried weight, clearly.
(Not Porkins kinda weight, but still....)

Plus that commander looked like Bill Clinton.
And Clinton played Sax and kept cigar cases in his secretary.
Hes a cool guy....and so therefore was the wing commander.

OK, but.......

One who acts on his gut.......IE The best kind. ✅

Meant "The Xwing apparently wasn't all that different from the T-16, controls wise".

The T-16 is a transorbital craft, dude.

Im sorry, will you now explain to us how the control method/method of transorbital propulsion differs..?

Also, Luke didn't seem to use it in transorbital fashion when he was racing the needle.

Gee, I dunno, zero G's? Jumping to a much faster ship? Going from one nose mounted plasma cannon to 4 wing mounted ones?
