The article's hysterical, the comments are nerdtastic.None of that was due to anything the Rebels did right. Even if he thought he was in danger of being shot after losing a wingman, the TIE fighter pilot had room to fly in any direction. The trench was pretty wide, and he had the entire infinity of outer space above him. Instead, the direction he chose was "directly into the boss." We're going to assume his family did not get his pension--the Empire is probably pretty strict about panicky idiots winning the war for the other team.

Re: The TIE Fighter Pilot Who Saved The Day in 'Star Wars'
If any of you think the aforementioned event was an accident you just aren't reading between the lines. Clearly Obi Wan lied about...I mean clearly Vader realized that the pilot he was pursuing, and comments "The Force is strong in this one", is his one and only son and at the last minute uses the Force to push his wing man into himself thus saving face for not killing his boy and allowing the Rebels to destroy the Death Star.Cail wrote:According to Cracked.The article's hysterical, the comments are nerdtastic.None of that was due to anything the Rebels did right.

Wow. It couldn't be more obvious and I knew this 10 years before the film even premiered. Yeesh!.
