** When Skerris and his wingmen trounce the A-wing escorts, the crippled transport begs for its life by saying they are unarmed and that the Empire has no right to fire on them, with the TIE Interceptors' refusal to spare them to show how ruthless they are. But since the transport was already willingly escorted by declared enemies of the Empire in open war with them, that made it a perfectly valid military just like merchant ships in convoys from all sides were routinely sunk by their opponents in UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo.
*** However, it's worth noting that the Imperials, upon arriving, moved straight to "attack" without issuing a demand for surrender, which somewhat counters their point.

** Earlier, when Skerris and his wingmen trounce the A-wing escorts, the crippled transport begs for its life by saying they are unarmed and that the Empire has no right to fire on them, with the TIEs' TIE Interceptors' refusal to spare them to show how ruthless they are. But since the transport was already willingly escorted by declared enemies of the Empire in open war with them, that made it a perfectly valid military target even to most real life rules of enagagement.

* VillainHasAPoint: The simulated ''Ghost'' "killing" pilots who hesitate in the training run is actually a very valid lesson that especially in counter-insurgency and counter-terror warfare "unarmed civilians" often aren't (or are being used by actual armed insurgents) and in the real world, hanging around and hesitating ''would'' have resulted in the real ''Ghost'' killing them. Not to mention that low-level pilots not in a position to know the entire situation can't make calls like that without putting themselves at risk.

** Sabine decides using a TIE Bomber for her escape with Wedge and Hobbie. While it sacrifices speed, it will hold up much longer than an ordinary TIE against a ZergRush and the TIE Interceptors. She asks Wedge if he can pilot, to which he replies, 'I can fly anything.', much like what [[Film/TheForceAwakens Poe Dameron would say to Finn in their escape from the First Order.]]
