I see that this card has been reprinted:

 

 

I was under the impression that all the previous pilot cards had been errata'd to have the pilot(x) keyword. So seeing as how this guy has not been modified does that mean that the others don't as well?

 

Here are my main questions:

 

Can you actually bring in the old pilots via Stay on Target?

Do the old pilots actually have a pilot cost then?

If the old pilots don't have the keyword, would you no longer be able to do the move where you bounce the Falcon to put a pilot unit as an enhancement on a different vehicle?

Secondary question: these old pilots could attach to very specific units. The new pilots can attach to anything, but sometimes only have abilities if attached on certain types of units. I was under the impression that you could toss Hoth Luke on the Falcon in order to play him for free when the Falcon bounces. Have I been misreading how that card interaction works?

They were never errata'd to have the Pilot (x) keyword (see the FAQ for official errata, though the image posted does have the correct text).  However, their post-errata text allows them to function very similar to units with the Pilot (x) keyword.

 

For your specific questions:

 

-Stay on Target can bring them in because they are Pilots (which is a Trait and not a Keyword).

-They do not have a pilot cost.

-Their text allows them to enter play as an enhancement, which allows them to become an enhancement when the Falcon puts them into play (pre-errata you could not do this).

 

Edit:

-Luke and Wedge may only enter play as Enhancements if on a Speeder of Fighter.  Luke cannot (and never could) be attached to the Falcon and then become a unit from bouncing the Falcon.

 

Corner case: Stay on Target can attach Luke, Wedge, or ever Rookie Pilot as an enhancement to any vehicle.  However, Rookie Pilot (or Luke/Wedge if not on a Speeder or Fighter) will be immediately discarded in that case because Enhancements need continuous legal permission to be attached to other cards and their text does not allow them to be attached in that case (this is the same reason that Tarkin causes enhancements to be discarded when blanked).

Yeah you can't do that. They can only enhance specific targets. They aren't legal on anything else.
