Best Pilot

Lieutenant_kettch · 10-11-2004, 02:10 PM

Baron Soontir Fel is among the best pilots in the galaxy, and i believe him to be the best

not quite. His brother-in-law has got him beat.

Lieutenant_kettch · 10-11-2004, 02:39 PM

do you consider him beat because "an x-wing is better than an TIE INT"?

no

regardless, the interceptor was designed to take down the x-wing

Lieutenant_kettch · 10-11-2004, 02:45 PM

but many consider the x-wing a better ship.

**Samuel Dravis** · 10-11-2004, 02:47 PM

Wedge. He isn't on a force crutch.

Lieutenant_kettch · 10-11-2004, 02:48 PM

WTF? what are you saying samuel

"Crutch" -

A device used for assistance or support; a prop: a mnemonic crutch.

.....

Still not sure what you mean.

9-year old Ani > all

As for non-Force users, probably Antilles.

mr.piercy · 11-07-2004, 10:07 PM

how about Lando and that alien guy with multiple cheeks piloting the Millenium Falcon, during the assult on the Death Star?

*Wraith 8* · 11-08-2004, 01:16 AM

Nien Numb is a Sullustan piercy

and im doubting between antilles and Fell.

i mean how many times have we read that antilles takes a graze on his shields.... and fell doesnt have shields and survives aswell.... i think fell.... i mean he just has NOTHING to defend him from a shot and he survives everytime

oh and uhmmm none of the wraith squadron pilots are as good a pilots as Rogues.... im proud of the Wraiths and all.. but piloting wasnt their main thing

Shok_Tinoktin · 11-08-2004, 01:39 AM

It's spelled Fel. You're forgetting to take into account that an Interceptor is harder to hit then an X-Wing. Nonetheless, I think Wedge and Soontir are very close in talent, but I'm still gonna go with Wedge.

*Wraith 8* · 11-08-2004, 02:56 AM

Fel or Fell...... you understood what i meant right?

**Skinkie** · 11-08-2004, 07:09 PM

Wedge. Hands down!

Agreed! Wedge survived 2 Death Star assault missions, that has to count for something.

Shok_Tinoktin · 11-09-2004, 12:18 AM

But Fel survived being an Interceptor pilot, that has to count for something. And he survived being an Interceptor pilot going against Rogue Squadron! Still, I have to agree that Wedge is the best.

k thanks> Sullustan got it< lol.

Maybe Jango deserves some credit for navigating that asteroid field in AotC.

Shok_Tinoktin · 11-09-2004, 12:40 AM

Obi navigated it while being shot at.

Evil Dark Jedi · 11-09-2004, 11:24 PM

Wedge, Wedge, Wedge!!!!!1!11one!!

He is most likely referring to Luke Skywalker, and how he has the Force to help him pilot...

I'd say Wedge and Fel are equal, and it's ok, cuz they're related so I have no problems considering them equal.

Fel was the Empire's best. Wedge was the Alliance's best.

*Wraith 8* · 11-10-2004, 10:46 AM

in x-wing book 5 i think it was Phanan who asked wedge and janson who they thought was the best starfighter in the galaxy.

according to janson:
well Luke Skywalker is one of the best in the galaxy. but he hasnt been flying frequently and his kills arent up there with the rest of the pilots.... if your looking for a pilot with the most kills and survival its wedge antilles.

or something like that (no direct quote)

but i still think its a tie between fel and antilles

ckcsaber · 11-11-2004, 06:35 AM

Han.

He's got the skills to be one of the best, and is also one lucky bastard.

TheOutrider · 11-12-2004, 10:37 PM

Dang accidentally click Han oh well.

Wedge is da best in the series of Star Wars IMO.

darth_nemisis · 11-13-2004, 10:32 AM

I voted for...of coarse...Wedge. I mean, this is a no brainer

Darkside_tanro · 11-16-2004, 09:00 AM

Ya forgot Lando ..... You racist add Lando, anyway I vote for Lando. Lol j/k about the racist crack

***Rogue Nine*** · 11-16-2004, 09:08 AM

Well, if there's one good thing that came out of the NJO, it's gotta be Jaina Solo. So she should be in the discussion too.

**swphreak** · 11-16-2004, 01:19 PM

well, Jaina is awesome, but I think Wedge or Fel could outfly her easily.

***Rogue Nine*** · 11-16-2004, 01:27 PM

Well of course, since they're probably the two best fighter pilots in the galaxy.

Darkside_tanro · 11-17-2004, 08:34 AM

Lando Took out tha second death star, and he flew that big ass Falcon through the deathstar. Thats gotta count for a lot.

Lord_Prowler · 12-08-2004, 11:39 AM

Lando also ripped the dish from the top of the Falcon. I went with Han. Nobody else that I know of has had the honor of knocking Vader out of a battle. Plus he's the original Asteroid Field Man.

Shok_Tinoktin · 12-08-2004, 01:04 PM

To be fair, it was technically Vader's wingman who knocked Vader out of battle.

Yup; Wedge doesn't need the force to make him better than everyone else. He got there by long experience. Wedge > Luke.

Shok_Tinoktin · 12-08-2004, 02:04 PM

Not just experience, a lot of natural talent.

Darth Alec · 12-09-2004, 04:14 AM

I voted Han since he's half a tie better then wedge.
He's pretty darn lucky to.

Revan Solo · 12-12-2004, 02:01 AM

I only say: HAN!

benTantilles · 12-12-2004, 08:37 PM

oh cool, a(nother) best pilot thread.

Quote:

yeah, definitely. Jaina admitted so herself in the NJO series. hell, even Jagged Fel could apparently outfly her easily. i'd shudder to think at what wedge & fel sr. might do to her in combat.

Quote:

mmhmm. good point. hard to compare their talent levels... but i think wedge has gotten soontir beat when it comes to strategic & tactical ability. i mean, seriously, have you SEEN the sort of stuff wedge's done? the guy was the mastermind behind the ground operation which took over Coruscant, not to mention the Yuuzhan Vong's greatest defeat after the fall of Coruscant. It this is not just when he's behind the stick of a snubfighter, either... he's pretty lethal when on a capital ship bridge, too. i don't think baron fel can compare in this regard.

Revan Solo · 12-15-2004, 02:58 AM

Who can you compare pilot's talents? I have never been reading that a pilot is better than a special another one.
