alright back atcha buddy >:^))) in your idea what would hermann be doing if he were in the star wars universe

WELL IF YOU INSIST 

ok I’m gonna go with roughly TFA-era like you did. Hermann’s from a small, relatively remote planet that managed not to become a target during any of the major conflicts between the Imperial forces and the rebels because it was selling ships and arms to both sides on the sly. It’s really not a big or important planet anyway, they just happen to make some nice ships. Hermann’s dad was mainly in charge of that deal during the original trilogy era, overseeing operations and making sure the ship designs going to the rebel alliance were different enough from the ones going to the imperials that nobody would suspect a common manufacturer (there are middle men and middler men) 

Hermann grew up in a pretty peaceful, relatively well-off place then, and he wanted to fly so bad. He saw ships being tested all while he was growing up and was just, yeah, all about that life!! He didn’t have any particular feelings towards either side because he was so far removed from it, he didn’t have to. He didn’t know much about what the empire was doing on other planets. 

He wanted to fly, but of course Lars pushed him towards engineering, and he loved that too so he went along, thinking eventually he’d find a way to bridge the gap and do both. But the empire fell and with it the economy of his planet tanked, and the pressure was on to make sure he was doing something USEFUL. So he delved into ship design fully and while he was doing so he began to study old products they’d made there, noticed the weapons the empire ships used were at times unnecessarily violent. He read more, he looked for accounts of the Empire’s actions, he learned what they had done.

So when they began getting money from a source they eventually identified as the beginnings of the First Order, he noticed old Empire designs being revamped for them. And he tried to get Lars to stop, to refuse to build ships for them, but that didn’t go down too good. He left his home planet for the first time after that, finding his way to the Rebellion after bouncing around ship ports as a mechanic or navigator for a while. He found he loved space travel. 

He wasn’t sure what he was doing at the Rebellion at first - he didn’t have family members lost to the First Order like many of the others, didn’t have the personal stake that they did. But he heard their stories and he cared, and there was a lingering guilt knowing Lars was building ships that were killing people his new friends loved, and so he worked hard helping upgrade X-wings and nav systems and hyperdrives - the Rebellion didn’t have the resources to build entirely new fleets. 

One of the pilots let him fly at last and he found he got super motion sickness in the zippy x-wings and the bigger ships are barely like piloting at all so, really, he’s fine staying on the engineering side.
