Star Wars - Force Pilot?

Qualidar

First Post
My girlfriend and I are making some Star Wars New Jedi Order era characters for an upcoming game. It's my first character in SAGA (a conversion of my previous SWd20 char), and her first SW character in general, so I'm not to savvy with the ruleset yet.

She's looking to build someone who has dropped out of Jedi Academy to become a bit of a drifter. Specifically, she's looking to be an awesome pilot, sort of a Han Solo type with force powers.

We're level 8. Originally she was thinking of taking Jedi 2 / Scoundrel ? / Ace Pilot ?, but she might just end up going Jedi all the way to Ace Pilot (Jedi as in force-user, not as in actual member of the organization). I seem to remember there were force powers that you could use to aid with piloting. It's probable I'm thinking of the older editions, and I've leant out my Starships of the Galaxy to our GM, so I can't double check that, but am I crazy? Are there applicable force talents to use as a pilot or in space combat?

In the corebook there's the Force Pilot talent, which lets you use your Use the Force check when making Pilot checks and (per the devs) allows you to qualify for anything that requires you to be trained in the Pilot skill, such as feats or the Ace Pilot PrC.

Starships of the Galaxy has another talent that ties into the starship manuevers system, as well as a starship manuever that lets them substitute their Charisma bonus for the ship's Intelligence modifier on attack rolls.

There may be more stuff as time goes on, especially if WotC does a NJO/LotF era sourcebook, which is when Jedi pilots were all the rage, although some stuff may be found in the upcoming Clone Wars Campaign Guide (Jan 2009 according to Amazon).
