What do you all think?
"Hello, Yoda I am, your captain today I will be. Peanuts provided shall be. Predator will your in-flight movie be."
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

Of course, the key word here is 'too'. I would have expected only a handful of Jedi to be pilots and mos tof them being in the commanding role of things.
Actually, I expected the Jedi to be far more mystical and special, too. GL totally destroyed that little fantasy of mine. Not that I care anymore, anyway.

Of course the jedi have basic piloting skills, which doesn't mean they should be flying combat spacecraft.
The jedi are just that - jedi, not combat pilots.

Full Hooded Cloak, perhaps.
Someone has to make a fan film of that idea. It's so funny.

yep... i totalluy agree...
you have these super warriors with powers, why would you not utilize them were they belong rather then stick them in a flying peice of metal where their powers are virtually usless...
the ability to block lazer fire with your sword, choke and push people infront of you, jump around acrobatically, pick up a weapon from across the room, is all a little redundant when your sitting in a small cockpit waiting to be shot down.
the very concept would be like a medieval battle where the 7 foot tall rippling-muscle bound trained since birth warriors are up the back on crossbow duty while the anorexic 15 year olds are up the front dragging claymores on the ground.
i'm no expert on warefare, but it's such a obviously poor distribution of men and resources...

Well, there is the PS2 game JEDI STARFIGHTER, in which Adi Gallia's starfighter has four different force powers that can be used.
the powers are:
Force Shield: Puts a shield around your craft for a temp time.
Force Lightning: Lock onto a targt, then use this...of there are a group of fighters flying close together, then this will attack off of them at once.
Force Shockwave: Emits a shockwave
Force Slow down time: Ok ok....thats not the official name. I forgot what it was, but it slowed down time so that your fighter could move faster and get a ton of shots in.

at the end of the day, jedi are primarily trained and superior at physical combat and close personal force attacks. a piloting skill would be useful, but they are at risk.
i think a beter analogy is neccesary to reinterate my point...
it would be like having your warlocks (wizard/fighter) in some sort of AD&D game operating the trebuchets instead of hurling fire balls at the incomming orcs...
or having an assasin run in with the infantry rather then sneak in the back to assasinate the genral...
their saftey is severly compramised in small fighter jet, regarless of it manuverability. yes, maybe their force powers could save them from a guided missle, but a halfway decent gunner with reasonable everyday experience based intuitivness would be able to fire a straif that would desimate a jet without the force being able to intervine...
it just way too pricarious...
