Are you then saying that a Smuggler/Scoundrel can't have incredibly large amounts of luck in the SW universe? If that's the case keep this in mind...it was Solo's luck (and Kenobi's distraction) that allowed the Falcon, and those on it to escape the Death Star, thus setting up the Alliance victory at Yavin and ESB. Also if luck isn't a part of SW, then Wedge under Vader's guns in the Death Star trench, then who commands the Rogues after Luke leaves for Dagobah? Wes? Hobbie? You NEED Wedge. No one else would have been able to turn Rogue Squadron into what it became. So angelus, the answer to your second point is luck. Plain and simple. And Tofu, as long as I get my point across, I don't much care what my typing looks like. When you spend as much time chatting as I have, you start to intentionally drop letters off of words.
