@ProJared But they're also more in tuned with the Force, so they'd be able to sense things in space that other pilots may not be able to.

@ProJared yeah, and anybody can fly a combat ship, but only Jedi can you know do Jedi stuff

@ProJared there's a whole thing where you need to have force-enhanced reflexes to fly certain fighters, as an aside.

@ProJared they make good pilots the same way they make good fighters.

@ProJared Jedi have the power of plot armor in their ships

@ProJared You should be on @cinemasins .

@ProJared wouldn't a Jedi have better reflex and will saves?

@ProJared how tf else are they meant to traverse the vacuum of space in a short time

@ProJared I think Clone Wars covered that bit,

@ProJared The force, Jared, the force…

@ProJared Flying's for droids anyway

@ProJared The logic is that their Jedi reflexes makes them better pilots. Though that's not true in some cases (Obi-Wan Kenobi, anyone?)

@ProJared To be fair, Luke was also a combat pilot.

@ProJared I always thought it was funny how they flew in their full robes. At least Luke suited up in his flight gear.

@ProJared Not if they're the best fighter pilots in the galaxy. Besides, it's not like they can effectively use a lightsaber in space.

@ProJared Luke in new hope would disagree!

@ProJared well how else are they going to go places? Walking?

@ProJared Well, sort of, but a Jedi flying a combat ship is kind of the only way the Rebels kill the first Death Star.
