I forgot Thrawn had cloned storm troopers, even tho I did remember CBoath (sp?) and the cloning vats he found at Wayland.
God, that reference for a large portion of the sotrmtroopers being clones was from a Republic Commando...Lol? book from 2008...
I don't think there are many if any references to a majority being clones in any material prior to '95 or 2000.
Either way, I failed the nerd out.

I think you're sort of injecting EU books/games/technical manuals into those theories instead of remembering how the movies actually went.
I can think of exactly two situations where a rebel fighter survived a hit: Wedge getting grazed and R2 getting shot up. Both were there to move the plot forward and 'force' Luke to use the force. In every other scene and with any other character, every X/Y/A/B Wing just gets shot completely to pieces like a Tie fighter.

There's no 'sort of' about it, TBH. But the discussion wasn't about just the original 3 movies. Because as you pointed out, the x-wings were shown as being just as vulnerable as TIEs in them. Most of it probably came from the X-wing series of books. Some of it came from technical manuals, and some of it came from a book or 2 about the time period when the Empire was getting started. At the time, all of those things were blessed as canon by Lucas. So I feel it's not way out of line to draw on that now.

This thread is reminding me of just how damn good those X-wing and TIE fighter games were.
They were really good!!

Who puts a moisture farm in the middle of the desert??
I do figure that the idea behind it goes along the lines of pulling moisture out of the air, but desert air is very dry. I read somewhere about a technique used in dry parts of South America - coastal Chile or something, where they were able to harvest moisture from the air by setting up huge sails of some material. But that worked only because the air was coming in from the Pacific ocean.
But in the Star Wars universe where high speed travel ( surface based ) and space travel, hyperspace et al. Is a common, affordable tech, then places where water is scarce could tanker it in.

Because tatooine got glassed when it was the infinite empire and it's moisture burned away. It evaporates/ condenses really quickly due to those damn suns.
