- "He was the best starpilot in the galaxy…"
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi, discussing Anakin Skywalker
A pilot directly controlled the operation of a vehicle while located within the same craft. A pilot was often assisted by a copilot, navigator, astromech droid, weapons officer, or other crew members. The term "pilot" was applied across vehicles used on land or in water, air, and/or space.[source?]
A military designation for a pilot was PL-1. In smaller spacecraft, the word pilot and captain were interchangeable, but on larger vessels, the pilots were rarely the commanders of the vessels. Starship captains, because of their generally piloting small-scale starships, were sometimes referred to informally as "flyboy" or “flygirl”.[source?]
Behind the scenes[]
The "Brash Pilot" was one of the original twenty-four character templates used by the Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, first published in the first edition rulebook.[2]
