Multiple pilots in star Wars have had specific adaptations for them, another good choice. Thrawn is a tactician; Thrawn is not an imperial trooper nor is he a combattant.
But no, let's make him a combattant who can't operate long arms, heavy weapons, most non modified vehicles, can't efficiently reload weapons, has a deficiency at hand to hand combat, and can't carry you to safety if you go down... you know, all of the things you do in a combat job.
This wouldn't even be a discussion if there was lore that went with him, but there isn't. Calling him a fan fiction character was pretty spot on.
I was in the military and never got any training with light sabers, laser pistols, or Jedi powers. Oh, right, because it's all made up stuff. Why do peoples suspension of disbelief stop with disabled soldiers? Space wizardry is fine but we draw the line here?
