Star Trek vs. Star Wars (and a collection of memes)

Luke is indeed Force Sensitive, but beyond that I would only put him at being a strong but not amazing pilot, so while it elevates him I wouldn’t say it’s enough to put him in the top five (without it I’d say he’s on par with maybe Chewie and Lando). Wedge is definitely a strong pilot, but I wouldn’t say he’s demonstrated skills of flying on par with Poe, and at least before Han came along Hera was fairly well established as the best pilot in the Rebel Alliance (which Wedge was a part of at the time). Notably she’s also the only pilot to survive an encounter with Darth Vader (hands down the best pilot on the galaxy by a long shot) on her own merits, rather than being bailed out by someone else. Kylo Ren probably does deserve a spot but not in the top five I wouldn’t say - I don’t think the simple fact of inheritance can justify placement (otherwise the likes of Leia should place pretty highly as well) and although he demonstrates strong piloting it’s not quite on par with some of the others.

Overall I’d say while everyone on the list is a good pilot, with Wedge being the best of the ‘good’ pilots, the ‘great’ pilots are Poe (Force Awakens and Last Jedi escapades), Hera (surviving Vader and expertly flying seven ships simultaneously), Han (Kessel Run et al) and Vader (the skills of all the others, plus being force sensitive on top of that).

 

For the sake of simplicity I’d say to base your judgements off the current canon - broadly speaking I’d say so far it’s been managed well enough to be fairly consistent in capabilities and such - there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of obscure characters demonstrating skills that contradict who should and shouldn’t be the best (you can argue that Rey’s a Mary Sue, but if she is she’s a Mary Sue that has been planned for and properly integrated into the universe in synergy with others, instead of being a randomly inserted one into an obscure self contained story that flies in the face of other Canon)

 

Not true... there was sadness!

 

Or how about just not killing her and have her go into hiding on Alderaan with Leia. She can still die of a "broken heart" early in Leia's life. That way when Leia tells Luke that she doesn't remember much of her (their) mother, but does remember her beauty and her sadness it would ring true a bit more.

Plus, what if there had been a more interesting "love triangle" with Padme, Anakin, and a (younger) Bail Organa? Maybe she could have gone on to marry him after Anakin's fall?

 

I’d say Piglet would be C-3PO because Rabbit is cunning and Owl is wise, and C-3PO is neither of those.

Rabbit would probably be R2, and Owl would definitely be Obi-Wan, if we’re relating this to the Original Trilogy.

Pooh, despite having an appetite to rival a Wookiee, would make a very placid and mellow Chewie. I’d say Tigger has more Chewie about him with his continual vigour (also I’d say Chewie would prefer malt extract to honey like Tigger), and Pooh can be Luke as he possesses the innocent simplicity Luke has in the first one and a half films.

Leia obviously is Kanga, and Eeyore...hmm, there aren’t any characters in Star Wars that could be called perpetually miserable. He would make a good hermit Yoda though if you see his permanent misery as a ruse to disguise himself from resembling a Jedi Master.

And Roo... what would he be... baby Ben Solo?

That is so true. Overpaid primadonnas, the lot of them.

 

All is not lost on the Star Wars TV Show front...
