I would have said 'A New Hope' recently (though it'll always just be Star Wars to me), but the battle in Rogue One is amazing. However, it's all CGI, with which you can do anything - knowing that Star Wars is all models is part of the charm. In terms of content, though, it's Rogue One.

The space battles have always been the highlight of any Star Wars movie for me. Return of the Jedi is still my favorite, with the original Death Star battle a close second. Also, it's not really a battle per se, but I love the cat-and-mouse chase between the Falcon and the Imperial Fleet in Empire.

Just now notice this when Biggs tells Porkins to eject how is that going to help him If he did not eject he would die for sure. If he did eject there was still a very high chance he dies (I'd say 50% odds of dying of exposure, 20% chance of dying of injury, and 29% chance of being captured and executed by the Empire). Still, that 1% chance was better than dying for sure. |

He couldn't eject. He was stuck in the cockpit.

They shouldn't have called him Porkins.
That's just taking the piss.
It'd be like a fat guy in Poe Dameron's squadron being called Lardsmith or something.

In Legends the fact that he was overweight was attributed to being part of the reason he died. Wedge believed that because Piggy (yes, his nickname was Piggy) was overweight he turned the motion compensator in his fighter all the way up (so that he was completely immune to inertia in his cockpit, something someone overweight would suffer more from), which in turn meant that he did not have as good a feel for the movement of his fighter. Had he had the compensator set at something a little lower (like everyone else, including Biggs who was flying alongside him), he might have felt that he was taking too sharp and fast a dive to pull out of and reacted accordingly.
So yes, they did claim he died because he was fat.

I think he smacked into one of the outcroppings he was trying to blow up. At least he probably destroyed it. |
