I'd say that the worst jobs were probably any that brought you into contact with any members of the imperial leadership. After all, you could never tell whether you were going to be force choked for spilling Vader's coffee, have your home planet destroyed because Tarkin found the slightest fault or if some farm boy was about to launch a torpedo into your exhaust port.

6:21 I'd say being an At-At driver is not that bad of a job considering out of all the jobs in the imperial military. It has thick armor nearly impenetrable with even heavy guns and if they do end in up in a scenario of falling, it is not that hard to imagine that it's possible for them to survive, after surviving the fall they wouldn't be stranded either, they still got Speederbikes and I'm sure the power on board or at least some is still on, so they could request for back up using communications.

One of my favorite minor characters is Tenn Graneet, the man who actually fired the super laser.

Had he fired right away, all the Rebels on Yavin IV would've died. Luke would've destroyed the Death Star moments later regardless, but his delay saved the Rebellion.

@TimaeusEXE2 жыл бұрын
I think the training for the Tie fighter was more for dedication instead of actual utility. The tie fighter screams quantity at it's honest worse. The best example as to how dime a dozen Tie Fighters and their pilots are was the battle of Scarif. Hundreds of Tie Fighters just poured out of the shield gate, and quite literally threw themselves at the rebels. They were engaging ships with point defense weapons and star fighter support it was basically suicide for the Tie Fighters. The idea wasn't to get someone useful in the cockpit but someone willing to fly a glass peashooter at the enemy. Hence all the empire propaganda poured into them during training.

So going onto your point about the TIE Pilots having good training but low budget gear is actually a fair point. The reason why is because of just cost. The cost of TIEs were cheap so it was easy on the budget. But the reason they were given the good training is so that they can always preform at their very best. The US Marines have a similar way of training (coming from a marine) we get trained rigorously and the training can be very difficult but it helps because when we get issued our gear and eventually have to fight in combat with the cheapest BS the military can buy we can preform above and beyond what is required of us.

That would've been one of the worst jobs then, serving in Vader's personal legion that'd failed to protect the second Death Star and thus under intense scrutiny by the Dark Lord at all times.
