One of my gripes with star wars is a pilot can fly any ship from any faction without prior flight experience on that ship. They just go in flip some switches, push some buttons then jumps into the pilot seat and off they go.
That's one of the many things Andor gets right, at least with that shuttle they steal near the start of the series. Cassian basically chews his crew out for planning to just jump into an unfamiliar ship and wing it.
I fucking love Andor
That's why it really bugged me that the resistance just gave Luke an X-Wing.
My headcannon for this is that spaceships in that universe are to those people what cars are to us. If you know the basics of driving a car, you can drive most cars, though the bigger ships might get more complicated (I've never seen one of our heroes try to back up a star destroyer into a starbase to help with their buddy's move.)
Yeah but that’s no problem. We used to fly all sorts of ships with xbox controllers back in the day.
