I know what you're thinking, finally someone said it. While red dice certainly have a role, I feel there are too many players that rely on them to win.
Before anyone says he same about green dice, they are a crutch too, just one with a handle or armpit bar.
Now seriously, it's nice to look at this game and know it isn't just about who can throw he most red at the table. It's about who plays Palpatine the best.
well, it's true
they are
real men only use feedback array
That's too easy, a real pilot wins by making their opponent die on rocks.

eh but then you can use t-beams
which use red dice
and are therefore a crutch
I simply stare at my opponents ships until they melt under my mastery of The Force. No dice needed.
Real mature...
Gunboat's the real crutch.
the only red dice I need are the ones for a final salvo
i get way more games in every week because I have found that games are quicker if you don't even fly the ships
always do final salvos to decide the winner
you don't even have to think about pilots or upgrade cards anymore (are those crutches too? who knows?)

Not if you're using Ketsu or Unkar Plutt's (after wave 10) pilot abilities!

A true ace wins by bumping all enemy ships off the board.

You have a flamethrower? I'd count that as mastery of the force.
Besides, the true path of the Jedi is to use Connor Nets on the path to victory.
In all seriousness now:
Novice players can believe that dice are the final word in who wins. However, you can play some Math-wing and find the averages, plan out a good list and fly it well. Then, you do not rely on good (or outstanding) dice results, but instead on merely average results.

See I've been saying this for ages! But when I turn up to tourneys with my special pile of rocks to kill my opponents with everyone acts weird!

using red dice
which are a crutch
Seismic Charges, Thermal Detonators, & Proton Bombs. What red dice?
Ion Bombs and Connor Net. Off the board with you!
Don't forget the Extra Munitions.
Who needs red dice?

With no disrespect to a fellow Y-Wing pilot... Ion Cannons require red dice...
They can be fickle.
No!
When I tore my ACL last summer, I tried using red dice as a crutch, and I fell over. a lot. D:
