Who would have thought Porkins was such a good pilot?

I'm kinda relieved to be seeing some of Rogue Squadron released in this way. While I'm looking forward to the TIE Aces eventually coming off that frickin' ship, I'm not sure I want to commit to a lifetime of repaints for existing ships with new personality cards.

One of the books has wedge go on a bit about how good Porkins was. We also have no movie reference to his prowess other then his moment of failure :)

Hey, Porkins was rock-solid; good enough to fly with Red Squadron and when all of his mates told him to bug out due to the damage he said no, he was sticking around. Wasn't his fault his ship actually DID blow up on him moments later. ;)

It was just because he lost focus when he dropped his microwave burrito. He was busy looking to pick it up when he plowed into the deathstar… still took some imperials with him :)

wminsing, the novelisation says that he was distracted by fixing whatever needed "locked down", flying slow and straight for too long, so one of the turret guns got him.
