Star Wars Vehicles in Character Profiles

I think about adding Vehicles to Optional Equipment of those Star Wars characters, which piloted, owned and/or commanded a "vehicle in question" at least once at some point of time, preferably multiple times. Should it be done?

Examples include:

  • Stormtroopers piloted various types of speeders and walkers. E.G. scout troopers piloted speeder bikes on Endor. If we assume that vehicle crews and starfighter pilots use same statblock/profile, various spaceships can be added.
  • B1 Battledroids did use STAP speederbikes. B1 Battledroids also had a vehicle operator model, which controlled most of CIS land vehicles.
  • Luke Skywalker piloted T-47 Airspeeder on Hoth and X-Wing on multiple occasions.
  • Darth Vader was skilled pilot, and piloted quite a lof of things. From Aethersprite and Eta-2 Actis Light Interpectors (pre-fall as Anakin), to customized TIE Advanced, to Lambda shuttle used for transportation. Vader even had his own flagships: Resolute the Venator Star Destroyer (pre-fall), and Executor the Executor-class Star Dreadnought; and that's before going on to numerous other ships he commanded and numerous screening ships Capital Ships have. It would, in fact, easier to list things Vader didn't pilot or command at least once.
 
I don't see why they couldn't be.
Well, good. Vehicles of which we have no Profiles yet can't be meaningfully used in VsBattles, but can be added to Optional Equipment in case profile is created.

Generally in Star Wars, there were more people who piloted something than those who didn't; even commoners often had some land car or "gadyushnik"/rustbucket type spaceship.

By the way, do TIE Fighter pilots count as variant of Stormtroopers for our purposes?
 
Stop adding that, the crt wasn't even accepted. I'll remove it.
EDIT: Regular users don't have voting power; you need at least 2 votes from staff (thread moderator or admin) for the CRT to be approved and the proposals implemented.

Ok; even the source links weren't enough. I'll wait then.
 
Other profiles do have vehicles listed as equipment, such as Lord Helmet from Spaceballs.
