30 years later... he's just an X-wing pilot... under some one else's command? What happened, my man? Drug problems that derailed a career? Or perhaps a systematic speciest system that has kept him down?
Deathsticks. He needed to go home and rethink his life. Sadly, there were no cantina-going-hard-drinking Jedi around to offer him such profound advice.
He and Lando founded a business after Endor and then lost all their money in the process. So for him it was either going back to pilot X-Wings or compete on Dancing with the Stars like Lando did. Spoiler: Lando
I went to the movie. I don't recall the name coming up. Perhaps it's just another member of the species that only they can tell apart, like Benzites on TNG?
I assumed it was another Sullustan, because he looked a bit different. ( Then again, 30 years of partying... )
Indeed. I expect... nay, DEMAND a graphic novel explaining why he's a lousy fighter pilot taking orders... I mean, come ON, he was a HERO at the Death Star... he was one of those responsible for blowing it up. (And as a side note: Why is Chewie always a co-pilot?)
The Resistance that Leia has put together doesn't have many resources so far. He may be flying a fighter because that is the best use of his talents out of the ships they actually have available.
He was GENERAL NUNB until he defied orders, stole the Millennium Falcon then went back in time 36 years to visit the Mos Eisley Cantina on Life Day, where he secured a forbidden recording the Star Wars Holiday Special, went back to the future, where Leia immediately demoted him to Captain: his first best destiny. Or something.
I'm getting the distinct impression that you aren't taking this seriously. Get hold of yourself, man.
That says a lot abut the Resistance. Either they have no better use for a hero with years of experience other than to stick him into an x-wing. Or Nein Nunb has no useful skills or experience, so might as well stick him into an w-wing. Either way, that sucks.
