Waiiiiiiiit, I take back what I said. I just remembered that the LCG decided to give Rahn (from Jedi Knight) potentially offensive name. Say both names together, then think about giving that name to one of the few black men in the Star Wars universe.... It's almost as bad as when people in Michigan started a coffee shop chain and named it Beaners.....
Whatever way you look at it 'talonwhatist cobra' is like the name you give your D&Dfighter when you're about 12.
Its incredibly lame and a tad embarassing.
It makes talon karde and the wilde carde look clever....
^ Agreed. Rubbish name.
As for being a great pilot. Well, the universe is a big place. Just because we haven't heard of this fella in the OT, doesn't mean he doesn't exist.
I never understood why people loved Boba Fett. His biggest achievement was getting accidentally flung into the side of Jabba's Sail Barge by a *blind* Han Solo, and then falling unceremoniously into the Sarlacc. I, for one, am happy to have someone better than Mr. Slapstick Fodder.
Personally, I think the manliest name is Ragnar, and I have been trying to convince my wife to use it as a middle name for our upcoming =)
Good luck!
Talonbane Cobra lalalalalalalalalalala!
PIlot Skill in this game is a stat that governs specific timing issues upon which certain important game mechanics depend, and should not be confused with the abstract concept of "pilot prowess" which isn't as easily quantified.
The fluff says he's an "ace" so, whoever he is, his pilot prowess is probably formidable. The rules of this game say his Pilot Skill is 9, which means he moves after Pilot Skill 8 and attacks before Pilot Skill 8.
Clearly a porn alias... And now I have to change mine. THANKS, FFG.
This guy maybe...
Talonbane COBRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
So acording to his background he's dead huh? He should have retreated. 
Personaly I'd rather name myself Talon Cobrabane. Or maybe:
Zartan Starviper
Destro Stormshadow
Zandar Bludd
How come all cobra characters make good star fighter names?
Oh and for the porn alias: Richard Canon.
As said before , this is no worse than Corran Horn suddenly being thrown into an E-Wing ...
At this point you can pretty much stop caring about the lore & just see names as names ..
Otherwise you're gonna have seizures when K-Wing squads end up beating Rogue X-Wings Squads in a not-so-distant-future ...
It's kinda like in the living card game where you can kill a Star Destroyer with a Bantha ...
That's second only to Droopy McCool as the dumbest Star Wars name I've seen, and that's considering the recent Sith names like Sidious, Tyrannus, and Maul, (plus Sheev and Wilhuff for terrible first names). If Lucas had continued making these we would have gotten Darth Scary and Darth Badass pretty soon. But at least we now know a little more about Star Wars fauna. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled in Ep. VII for any appearance of an actual cobra.
You're not wrong. Darth Icky was proposed as a name for Starkiller.
You want a silly Star Wars name?
Try a Jedi named Don Wan Kihotay. Extra credit if you can name the source.

Except that the Rogues did fly E-wings during the Dark Empire comics, and since that was set after the X-wing series Horn would have been part of the squadron. It's therefore not outrageous that he gets to fly one here. There are many other pilots who have far slimmer justifications for being in the ship they're in. Corran's fellow E-wing pilot is actually a good one; he was a naval officer, not a pilot. There's nothing anywhere to indicate he ever flew any fighter, let alone the New Republic's most advanced one.

This is true, but if ever there was a candidate for a custom X-Wing paint job, Corran Horn would have been it. He should have been in the Rebel Transport pack with his Green X-Wing as the alternate X-Wing scheme.

The old Marvel comics, I think. Don't remember the specific issue, but it had shirtless Han and some sort of Seven Samurai plot going on?

I feel like that was an old West End Games module?
The guy has to be a PS 9
Why?
Because he flies a scum X-wing which is somehow worse than the currently implemented X-wing, and somehow survived long enough to make a name for himself. I highly doubt he would have gotten that far if he wasn't some sort of godlike pilot.

Shut up and take my money!!!

Mind you, that was a joke because he seriously did not want him to have a darth tittle.

Got it in one. Star Wars #7-9 IIRC. In addition to Don Quixote the Jedi, it also featured Jaxxon the green space rabbit.
As silly as some of those comics were, they capture the serialized Flash Gordon-esque feel of the original Star Wars far better than a lot of subsequent material. I won't defend the Seven Samurai arc, or Crimson Jack the pantsless space pirate, but just note how far Star Wars has drifted from its roots.
I understand Coran in an E-Wing, just don't like it. The thing about the Rogues is they can fly any Starfighter in the Galaxy so I can see any of them in any Ship. That is why my Proposed Title card of Rogue Squadron allows you to move Members of Rogue Squadron from the ships they are currently flying to any ship they want. And Rogue Squadron is an X-Wing Squadron first.
I also think the combo of Han and Chewie should get a PS bonus. Kind of like VI without using VI. And like I said before when Han was getting shot up by Tie's in ANH it was Chewie flying and Plotting a Hyperspace route. In almost every instance shown on screen every ship that jumps flies a straight line for a couple of seconds before they jump. In every game before you make the jump it takes a couple of seconds to jump and at this time you are getting shot to hell and back before you do.
The last thing is also with the Millenium Falcon. I think it should have the Double Tap (not the YT 1300 but the title Millenium Falcon) Han had two quad laser turrents. Meaning two people could be firing at two different targets or the same target at two different times.
And Talonborne Cobra needs to be at a PS8. Even if I want to yell COBRA LALALALALALALALA when ever he attacks.

I'm PS9 becasue I'm great.
Vader is "The best star pilot in the galaxy."
When was that ever said? I mean they've made comments about him being a good pilot, but I don't think that line was ever uttered. If you can provide a quote I'll go along with it.
Waiiiiiiiit, I take back what I said. I just remembered that the LCG decided to give Rahn (from Jedi Knight) potentially offensive name. Say both names together, then think about giving that name to one of the few black men in the Star Wars universe.... It's almost as bad as when people in Michigan started a coffee shop chain and named it Beaners.....
Am I missing something, or are you saying that the holy book of Islam is a potentially offensive term? If so, then I'm even more confused.
