X-Wing Fighter Pilot
by James Cole
The two sketches here are of a Rebel X-Wing Fighter Pilot and his helmet, as seen in the 1987 comic Star Wars Droids, issue 8. Like the TIE Fighter Pilot from the same issue, this pilot has a vastly different appearance from the pilots in A New Hope, the movie on which the story in this comic was based. A few slight modifications are made in the sketches, but for the most part, I tried to stick to what I saw.

Above is the original art from the comic by Ernie Colon. Notice that there was a female pilot at the battle of Yavin according to this story!
