Galactica (more so 'Ye Olde Colonial' version) was, like Star Wars, a space fantasy so in my view having robot pilots works because it makes visual sense.
It makes more Science Fiction sense to have a robot brain directly pilot the ship but Star Wars isn't Science Fiction, the dogfights in the PT should be more like WWI in the first half and start turning into WWII as the PT moves closer to the OT.
A robot or alien Red Baron would be a compelling addition to the prequel trilogy in my view.
Maybe......Griveous? Hurm HURM (that was my potentially impossible, but also very intriguing idea noise.)
