Can anyone point me to a list that tells me which pilots and astromechs belong together thematically?

I know R5D8 goes with Porkins and of course R2D2 with Luke but there are several I'm not sure about.

I don't think there necessarily is a thematic list.... only droids that are reputedly linked to game pilots (other than the 2 you mention) are;

R7-T1: Luke Skywalker (in E wing)

R5-K6: Garven Dreis

R2-D6: Wedge Antilles (in Y wing pre Yavin)

Happy to be put right!!

I think potentially we could see more. It would be fun to end up with an E-Wing aces pack at some future date with a Whistler droid for Corran...

Wedge used a R5 unit. Most pilots hated the reduced visibility with the big R5. Wedge saw it the other way, there's less of him to be hit.

It's off wookiepidia. Can't remember where. May be in wedge's page

This has a few but I don't think many have been released in the game yet! Maybe one for the future.

That was post Episode 6 (btw the R5 he used was Mynock/R5-G8(he memory wiped it and upgraded it) also known as Gate)

Interesting fact, R2-F2 was invented for the game.

btw, That list missed Gold 7 Keyan "Lucky" Farlander (we have him in a B-wing), only Y-wing pilot to survive.

Whoever did that article is an Astromech nerd. But guys, we all know the astromechs we want are Gate, and Whistler!

And Vape! Anyone who's gonna get me a beer is well-worth having around.

True that, but after Gate and Whistler

Oh for sure! Not to mention we don't have Face as a pilot, anyway.

However, his paintjob is the same as R2-Q2, which is Biggs' on-screen droid (apparently a Imperial spy, as well?) He appears on the Tantive at the beginning escorting the surviving Rebel prisoners. I always thought those droids were prisoners as well, but interpret that as you see fit.

Also, Wedge's ANH droid was R2-A3, a Red/Silver/White droid.
