Much as Robot Head is often a disagreeable kneejerk character his vicious breakdowns helped me through my trauma after being exposed to Book Of Boba Fett and Kenobi...I never thought I'd turn to his dark embrace so soon for Mando

The point of saying Fett never took his helmet off in the OT is that fans still loved his character despite not seeing his face. It doesn't mean he never took it off we just didn't see it onscreen in the OT. The same with Vader until the end of ROTJ. Both well loved characters before their faces were shown. It can be done.
Also 3 minutes is more than enough to make fans hate a character. It took 10 seconds for me to hate Binks.

The Boba Fett not taking off his helmet thing partially comes from the old EU. He considered it his face, no one knew for sure what he looked like or who he really was, blah blah blah.
Beyond that though, even in the OT, he still had plenty of times to remove his helmet but did not, compared to TBOBF and The Mandalorian, where the helmet seems to primarily stay off. If RoTJ were made today, Fett probably would be strutting around with his helmet tucked under his arm in Jabba's palace and it would only be worn once Luke causes his ruckus at the sarlacc.
That's what I said the other day. I'm guessing that they might have been alert pilots who have to be ready to go jump in their fighters. They're just hanging out waiting. OTOH, I could also see Disney going "This is what X-Wing pilots look like so put all the gear on".
I have to admit, I'm not a pilot, but from what I've gleaned in my years, real world fighter pilots can't just park their planes, hop out, hop back in, then just take off in a matter of a couple minutes. I look at it from the point of view that since they're not waiting around for their fighters to get ready, they just keep their gear on for the duration of their 'shift'.
I've read as well that this scene in the bar also goes to show even more if how inept the New Republic is by not having pilots stationed on ships in order to actually be a rapid response force. They're so afraid of looking like the Empire, they refuse to show ANYTHING that could be considered 'aggression'.

Aircraft need thorough pre-flight inspections (walk arounds you see pilots doing, poking around,) and to follow cockpit checklists or you can die. It's regulations. It's boring. So you don't see it most of the time in movies. Kick the tire light the fire.
Of course ground crews could do much of that for the pilots (now your are trusting others) but at some point you need to make sure your aircraft is airworthy. Military is going to want an interceptor up as fast as possible in a serious situation. I'm sure they have as much done for the pilot's as possible.
I was thrilled with Dunkirk because he was calculating his fuel burn.
I don't even know what fuels Star Wars ships. LOL Liquid Schwartz I guess.

I think your right which just adds to the Fu%& Disney and I hope they die feeling.
Major unpleasant rant warning.
Hey, we just bought Star Wars. Lets piss on it every chance we get. Luke is a coward who tries too murder his nephew. Is a disaster as a new leader of the Jedi, and his and Anakin's sacrifice was for nothing because Papa Palpetine is back. He waited over five years to start the New Jedi and his first student wanted to bail. Hey, there Ahsoka. Where you been girl???? Coulda used you during that whole Empire ruling the galaxy thing.
What, my son turned to the dark side. Well this is a good time to bail and leave my wife, said Han.
The New republic sucks, does everything wrong and is wiped out in a matter of minutes by a big SUN SUCKING STUPID ASS PLANET that anyone who was blind would have seen being built. Sun Sucking. Seriously.
Boba Fett is an incompetent's punk who everyone ignores and disses.
Hey remember that yawn from Rogue One. Lets tell his backstory in detail. He likes to leave places.
Obi Wan. He may have a brother. Apparently the Republic kidnapped children and they never knew who their family members were. I have lost my powers, am sad. How am I going to protect and train Luke? Look, me sa powers back for some reason. Sure, Vader you are at my mercy. I can end you as I know you will just go on murdering people. I am out. See ya. Kill away Darth. Now that I have let my psycho padawan live to go on killing I feel better and am in a much better mood. Hey Qui Gon. Thanks for showing up after it's all over you ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I think we have destroyed both current and passed Star Wars. Less make a real crappy hotel and charge 6k for a couple nights.
What to do, what to do. I know, another Indiana Jones with Time Travel and a snarky women to degrade Indy. That will go over well. Sallah. He is in it, talking about missing adventure but he stays home. Yahoo. You know this will be an awesome movie.
And just to put the topper on the cake lets call all our fans, ya know the ones who give us their money, toxic and racist. We will make billions.
I am more sure than ever none of you exist and I am in a Matrix. Someone pushing the buttons who just wants to see how much I can take before my brain melts.
Okay, I'm out of breath.
Sorry, but I needed to get that out.

I choose my own canon now, and do homework before I put something in my head that can't be removed. Yes
that might mean I need to learn some spoilers.
Used to rush in with the nerd herd before. Thanks Crystal Skull! You taught me a huge lesson! LOL
It really takes the pain away, I've never seen many of the train wrecks. Flying through space middle aged Leia?
I've only heard vaguely of such nonsense, some expensive bad fan film I guess.

I was 8 years old when I saw (what will always be to me, just) Star Wars at the drive in theatre.
From a child’s eyes, I was hit with awe and wonder. We went to the theatre again a few weeks later to see another move, but I was turned around staring out of the rear window watching it again, while my family watched whatever it was that were there to see.
Every time I watch them again, I get hit with nostalgia and love seeing them each time.
So I wonder, is Nu-Wars really a lot different, or is it that I’m just watching new stuff, as an adult, with no nostalgic attachment?

I think you hit this spot on.
The things that mean so much to us come into our lives during our formative years. The nostalgia that hits me during viewings of the OT has as much to do with the memories AROUND the films, at it does with the films themselves. My life was so much in front of me, I could imagine almost anything, so I looked to these characters as templates for the person I could become.
As I've gotten older, fewer NEW possibilities seem to be ahead, so fewer things become imaginatively possible. Things become more simply entertaining.
I've become so, so satisfied with watching my son & grandson experience the things I did with the OT, but with the PT for my son, & with Mando for my grandson. During KENOBI, the scene came up with Anakin & Obi Wan in a flashback to the Ep II time, & my son actually teared up a bit. He started laughing & said, "Dang, that shouldn't hit me that hard.". I couldn't do anything but smile, cause although THAT didn't hit me that way, Chewie & Han getting the Falcon back in TFA DID.

Well said. Thank you.
Yes, so they'd know they'd have plenty of time to slip a chest box over their heads while that is occurring.
Also, as a chubby man I can tell you we don't make great fighter pilots. Cockpits a very small and flight suits do not favor the more round among us.
I got into the cockpit of a Blackhawk at 20, just out of the army. Awesome. Flash forward 10 years and 30 pounds and trying to get in and out of a Blackhawk helicopter cockpit, I looked and felt like a beached whale or a turtle flipped over on it's back. I rarely get embarrassed, but I was so embarrassed I just wanted to curl up and die right there.
Also that leather flight jacket looked beyond stupid on an X wing pilot.
