To be honest, I'd be glad if Wedge was not a Jedi. I'm tired of lightsabers, robes and the Force

Given PT-style Jedi, I would agree with you. But the Jedi in the OT were Yoda, Obiwan, and Luke, the coolest characters of all. And they were down-to-earth fighters - knights. Right before the attack on the death star, the leader said "may the force be with you" to the pilots.

Also, pilots are way cooler than Jedi.

In SW, the only Jedi we knew WERE pilots.

I guess now, with the PT in the loop, non-gaggy Jedi may be impossible. Shame.
