Will Scotian

Will Scotian was a human male who served the Alliance to Restore the Republic as a pilot during the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire. In the year 3 ABY, he was among the rebel forces stationed in Echo Base on the planet Hoth when it came under attack by the Empire. Scotian lent over the laser cannon of an X-wing starfighter while listening a briefing by Princess Leia Organa in Echo Base's hangar where she explained that the pilots present would be responsible for escorting the rebel GR-75 medium transports past the Imperial fleet above Hoth. The rebels of Echo Base then managed to successfully escape from the Empire, although not without casualties. Scotian had brown hair and fair skin and wore an orange flight suit on Hoth.

Behind the scenes
