She won more battles than Mon Mothma did.

Yes, but I believe Mom Mothma won more Wars.

True enough, she did fail hardcore a few times. But she was really badass except for those few moments. (To me she was pretty much the same as Isard, only less like a cartoon villain with that one red eye and evil laugh choir she formed with Derricote and Vorru every single book...)

I mean, the whole reason she lost the SSD Knight Hammer was because of Jedi tricks (Luke's first girlfriend, I forgot what her name was, Cassandra or something), not because of space battle tactical blunders.

Jedi ruin all the cool Imperial toys...

I can't argue with that. Touche good sir.

Oh but getting back to topic. I think Booster Terrick would be an awesome officer (not a commander) for Armada. He was never officially a part of the military, but he did help the Rebellion/New Republic sort of, with its economic war against Vorru and Isard. I have no clue what he would do, though...

I wanted to like her, but Kevin J Anderson is such a hack to me. I remember reading his books as a teenager and thinking his writing was clunky.

And then other writers after him would have characters talk about how amazballs Daala was, and I would just shake my head wondering if they even read KJA’s books.

I do think she had a cool premise, but I think she had such an unsteady foundation, that it was difficult to take her seriously.

Jar Jar Binks

I have never seen such a cunningly cutting and perfectly executed troll post of a simplistic conciseness that has - to put it short - the most alienating beauty one can imagine!

Kudos, Sir!

Consider instead the possibility that he's serious.

The problem though is that she was brash, impatient, and passionately vengeful. While those be good qualities in a snub fighter pilot, aren’t so great in a fleet Admiral.

This is born out by the fact that she was thought dead on 3 separate occasions, (2 of which were due to having her entire fleet wiped out,) and after the third she relinquished command to Palleon because even she realized she was a tactical dunce.

I will give you that as a politician she was astute, but as a commander, she has to be one of the worst in Star Wars. At least Ozzel never lost a SSD.

All true. But the Empire needs some cheap admirals anyway

I actually really enjoyed the Jar Jar secret sith theory.

Are we just not gonna talk about Duron Veertag? Poor guy has been getting dissed since 1982, his first name isn't even canonical anymore.

What about Nightswan from the Thrawn novel. Strictly not a member of the rebel Alliance he did however run a rebel faction, same goes for Saw Gerrera

I'd like to see a new version Luke Skywalker, one that takes him out of the X-Wing and puts him in the fleet. Perhaps he could restore discarded defence tokens, or something similar... to reflect the fact he's always rescuing his friends? (Haven't given this much thought, clearly.)

Commander Skywalker could be a fighter buff officer. Not sure he should command a fleet.

He did attain the rank of General. . .

Potential boarding party? He did infiltrate the Death Star...

If the Rebels are getting Jar Jar Binks then the empire should have Jeff the Storm Trooper.

You know.... Jeff!

You all remember him right?

The guy who bumps his head on the door in the Death Star.

Known throughout the Galaxy for his tactical acumen, tempered with the grace & reflexes of a constipated bantha.

I'm pretty certain we'll eventually get Vice Admiral Holdo, maybe in 2018.

Newcanon does give him a bit more background. He is also the guy who is told "these aren't the droids you're looking for." This was considered a bit of a stretch by some readers - conflating characters a bit too much.

Sate Pestage and Governor Ryder. And eventually another Vult Skerris as not an officer, but a Tie Interceptor or Defender ace.
