didnt want to ruin Ady's episode v thread so here goes....
I just read about the maul/grevious merger on the shroud of the darkside thread, and it got me wondering what a rebel pilot merged with an R2 unit would be like.
Then an x-wing doesnt need a pilot and and R2 unit - space saved for more weapons/coffee maker me thinks!
maybe this can be incorporated into return of the jedi :P
