The Facts

Ric Olie

The official Star Wars site (www.starwars.com) recently (as of May, 1998) confirmed the name Ric Olie, which we have been reporting for some time, and also that he is indeed a fighter pilot. His description almost sounds like a "pilot/mentor" character. He teaches Anakin some important flying skills as seen in the storyboards below.

The following is his description from the toy:

"Ric Oli? is the pilot of the ill-fated Naboo spacecraft carrying Queen Amidala to Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic. Their quest is to recruit help for the besieged planet of Naboo."

Ric Olie DOES NOT DIE at the hands of the Nimoudians in Episode I, as previously reported. In fact, he survives the film and is present at the closing celebration.
