Jedi ace

A Jedi ace was a Jedi who had specialized in starfighter combat. Jedi aces would combine their piloting skills with their mastery of the Force, being able to perform almost impossible daring maneuvers to down their enemies or avoid being downed themselves.

Jedi aces used their instincts and trusted the Force to lead them to victory. To many Jedi aces, piloting a starfighter and using their Force talents would bring them closer to the Force than anything else.

Some Jedi aces would use the Force not only to enhance their own flying but also to influence the mind of their opponents, causing them to be confused or to lose concentration. Luke Skywalker did this once while engaging in a dogfight with Imperial forces, but had serious doubts afterwards whether that technique was too dark.
