The pilots' helmets originally had oxygen masks and longer visors that sealed to them. That was changed so we could see the actors' faces better. The closed-face version still shows up in the EU, and can be presumed to be a function of those helmets that we just never see onscreen. The rest of the outfit is presumed to be a nice, ultra-futuristic spacesuit. And some versions have a clamshell closing around the pilot seat and that's what gets ejected. Either way, just presume there's a vacuum-rated ejection system that won't kill the pilot, and we just never see it used. Otherwise, the line would have been likely cut in one of George's many revisions.

i can answer 3 easily , the jawa's removed them and hocked them to bounty hunters :lol(1) How do you set up a blockade around a planet in space... in a single circle... and why do ships flying off the planet fly directly into it instead of just going over it?
(2) ATATs only seem to have guns on the "head"... Why do the rebel pilots keep flying straight
(3) Why did R2 not use his rocket legs in the 3 original movies?
(4) How can Luke use the force to flip switches and move stuff around, but has to throw a rock at a button to drop the door on the Rancor?
The interesting thing about this is that Droids are such an intelligent form of life in the galaxy.When c3po and r2 eject in the escape pod in ANH and the imperial officer says "hold your fire there is no life forms "
this always drove me crazy ? WHY HOLD YOUR FIRE!
Energy conservation ? I don't think an imperial star destroyer needs to worry about that ?
Imagine the gunners internal conversation ! I could have upped my weekly accuracy score so much for winning the slab of tatooine tubes
is it control, a sign of control to not have to fire unless required ......see answer 1.
or did George. Gsump it ........errrrgh well we cannot do effect yet
Why the force was not used to disassemble opponent's lightsaber or hold the switch off. It would make for a non interesting lightsaber stand off though.
or force offensive is no option if having to use the force for force defense to prevent opponent from breaking body, Pulling arms out of sockets like a wookie for example.I would assume that a) lightsabers are constructed in such a way that they're not affected by the Force other than their own wielder, and/or b) they're connected to the wielder's flow of the Force, and therefore protected while they're still in the wielder's hands.
