    Remember the one that was screaming before he crashed into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer? What was he screaming for? Migraine headache? Not enough fiber in his diet?

    Whatever his reason, he will always be remembered for taking down the entire Super Star Destroyer and giving the Rebels an upper hand. Even Admiral Ackbar was proud of him.

    He was screaming because his ship was damaged and he was out of control.

    I laugh everytime I read mention of "the A-wing pilot who sacrificed himself by flying his fighter into the Executor." haha!! He didn't deliberately fly into it. He crashed into it because he was spinning out of control.

    But still, yes, he was screaming because he was out of control and most-likely knew the end was seconds away.

    I think careening to the bridge of a SuperStardestroyer while your flaming ship spins out of control at thousands of miles per hour would be enough to make any scream for his life!

    *nods in agreement* Makes sense. I would also wlecome any goofy answers as well. I have a theory the pilot just remembered he left the stove on at home, thus jacking his gas bill through the roof.

    On a serious note, the pilot always looked like he was in a great deal of physical pain. Since we only see his face and not his body, I always imagined he might've been hit by laser crossfire or there was a small fire in his cockpit.

    If you have a pic of this guy, please post it, thanks.

    Perhaps he really is in pain. Maybe his feet are on fire? [face_devil]

    He knew he was gonna die, so he figured that he might as well take the super star destroyer with him.

    I remember I initially didn't catch on initially that the shot of the X-Wing exploding immediately prior to that also shows the A-Wing being damaged, which is what sent it on the out of control spin to begin with.

    The pilot's name is Arvel Crynyd, FYI.

    If I were the pilot I would be doing a heck of all more than screaming if y'all know what I mean.

    He was screaming because he knew he'd never get to see the last episode of M.A.S.H.

    If that's the scream I'm thinking of, the imperial guy mentioned above, then I've heard that scream in about 50 movies

    I think FOX has that scream on record and use it a lot, it's a great scream but it's kinda annoying hearing it in movie after movie

    Is that the infamous Wilhelm?

    I think Mr. Crynyd was screaming because he ran out of Malt Liquor.

    Red Leader had some style, too.

    YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

    At least he gets points for the longest scream (unless you count the Emperor)

    The Imperial who gets knocked over into the bunker generator by Han does not give of a wilhelm.

    Nope, it's not the Wilhelm. It (as well as Boba Fett's) is just yet another girly death scream.
