Enemies of the empire...

[Azazel]

Why is it that, on the batlle of Yavin, almost every x-wing pilot is human ?
Im pretty shure that there would be aliens that would like to have a share of the fight against the empire....
I think its because most of the aliens heads woulndt fit inside the flight helmets...
Any insights on that ?

I noticed it but never really cared.
the base on yavin was nowhere near the rebelions full strength - there was not a single capital-class vessel there, only fighters, bombers, and transports (was it more of an outpost than a base?)

considering the Empire's known xenophobia, it is surprising though, i guess its simply something lucas never considered when he had the film made, for whatever reason

[Azazel]

Its a valid point, but i still think its a helmet issue...:)

[Darth Cassus]

I think that they used custom helmets like the fish people because general ackbar's race actucally built the B-wing

valid point? lol... i forgot what i was gonna say and started rambling... if thats still makes it a valid point then wicked :twisted: :palp:

While it is true that Akbar's species, Mon Calamari, designed ships, I think that humans manned the smaller ships because of experience. I go along with Darth Sidious' view of the Empire's xenophobia. Only humans would have had a great deal of experience with fighters, whereas larger ships have no xenophobic limitations. Of course, it could be as simple as film budget too.;)

[Darth Cassus]

thats probably what happend the money was a little short.

[Azazel]

Always the money issue.
Will we be able to live without that in a sith society ?

[Darth Cassus]

of course money wouldn't be a problem with the sith in charge

[Azazel]

And why do you think like that ?

And why do you think like that ?

Azazel beat me to it :fight1:

Cassus, im interested in your reasoning behind that also

[Azazel]

I do my best to keep a step ahead...
Maybe the sith can use sea shells...

I think that the battle of Yavin was a crucial part of the movie. (besides the money isssue. lol) I think that they used human pilots in order for us to better identify with their emotions of fear, anger, protectiveness, desperation, and drive. I find it hard to identify with other races cultures at times, is it not the same thing here?

[Azazel]

No, we welcome all into the dark side.
To live unified under the flag of peacefullness.
Even young jedi´s.
