Nitpick #1: The 181st was a fighter _group,_ not a wing, as it comprised three squadrons instead of six Nitpick #2: The 181st was the Imperial equivalent of Rogue Squadron, so _of course_ they're going to be much better than the average TIE pilot 6:44 What, no mention of the fact that the first time the 181st faced someone their equal in skill at Brentaal IV, it didn't go well for them, which is how Fel ended up captured in the first place?

Soontier Fel married Wedge´s sister, and they were essentialy a decorated family... but when Lowbacca and her band blew up chiss supply depot, the family becaume liable for all the damage because Jagged guaranteed Lowbaccas parole... So Jagged was exiled and had to hunt down Aleema Rhar for his family to have option to start again from nothing... but he could never return into the Ascendancy... technically, he was no longer part of any family and well as he said... technically he was no longer even Jagged Fel... And he was Twin Suns three as much as anything else. but he dropped at Jedi temple one day, asked for help (as ackwardly as a lifetime military person could... and Luke essentialy employed him, made him boss of Jaina and Zak... then Luke made him an Head of State, and when Jagged weaseled out of that (I really suggest reading Fate of the Jedi, its so much fun series) he became sniper rifle instructor in Jedi academy at Ossus. but... this actually may not be fully accurate since Empire of the Hand was somewhat independent entity and Voss Park may have been bit more lenient then Chiss and let Soontiers family in so the fall wasnt at all terrible...
