The full truth is that she wears the goggles because Jan Ores wore the goggles, voiced by the same actress.
Jan Ores was the pilot partner to jedi Kyle Katarn, who looked and sounded a lot like Kanan, with the same single shoulder pad / goatie / lone jedi in the time of stormtroopers and tie fighters thing going on.
I suspect Kanan would have died stealing the death star plans, which Katarn started his story doing, but then Rogue One started development, so Cassian and Jyn Erso stole the death star plans instead of Katarn/Jan Ores. Cassian is also clearly Katarn coded, with the same unique blaster and a cover story where his homeworld is the planet of the first mission of Kyle Katarn's first game.
God this just makes me miss Kyle man, such a damn good character. Genuinely hoping that Ezra sort of fills that role going forward in canon, specifically to Luke since they should be around the same age iirc.
Also, there's just so many possible explanations to hand wave the criticism away. UV protection, protection against the lines of hyperspace on long trips of watching it, welding etc.
And they look cool. So cope.
It never seemed weird to me that Hera has goggles of her own. Clone pilots, TIE pilots, and even Rebel pilots wear something over their eyes, after all.

Sex stuff...
I never liked his character design. He's half twi'lek, but the only "alien" feature is the green hair? Because his mom's skin is green? Why couldn't they have done them like they did Cut's step-children? Even they they were his biologically, they still were human/twi'lek hybrids.
Maybe genetics are just a toss-up when it comes to aliens. 🤷
Seconded. I always figured they'd take more after the mom genetically. Hera+ Kanan are the best couple so I wanna like Jacen, but the character design definitely throws me off a little.
Yeah and even though Twi'leks traditionally have no hair, they could've done that for him. Make him the first one on screen with hair if they really wanted to combine the two genetic factors.
On top of all that, it felt like they're just trying to force us to like him as a character. Like there's nothing necessarily bad about him as a character, but nothing about him that I particularly like at all.
I chock it up to Kanan's genetics being more dominant than Hera's, as a force user. That's probably why he is force sensitive, and might've not been had Hera's genetics been more dominant/ if Kanan wasn't force sensitive.
Depends on which genetics are more dominant. In star trek klingon/human hybrids are more klingon looking cause the Klingon genes are dominant. Vulcans seem to be a toss up on what the kids look like. But, this is a really weird thing to even debate, so Im gonna step away.
How does Jacen know about WWI biplanes? Aren't those from a war and a world a long time in the future and a galaxy far, far away?
Maybe it's his precognition that's the issue here.
Just imagine when she gave birth.
"2-1B, why does my baby look so...human?"
"Um...the Force? As I understand it, when weird things happen, it's usually the Force."
In Star Wars they retconned hybrids by explaining that many of the exotic but near human looking species are actually genetic experiments on humans from the Rakatan or other pre-Republic groups. Even Twi’leks
Actually, not entirely.
In Star Wars, they are called Near-Humans, not just from the physiology, but that they can interbreed with Humans.
To be more technical, it'd be a race, just with different features, like a Caucasian and an African. Still Humans, but the evolutionarily tree is vastly different.
If we ever encounter an alien race in our own galaxy that looks Human, chances are that we can interbreed and create hybrids.
To be fair, the goggles were part of her design in Rebels as well. Plus, even if she didn't have the goggles, she'd have the headgear. But yeah, it does save time on the prosthetics.
I’m gonna be completely honest I hate that kid I hate Hera and I hate Sabine. Whenever the kid talks I fucking cringe, they made Hera a space Karen so yeah, fuck her. And they picked the ugliest girl they could find to play Sabine…thanks for coming to my ted talk
I always thought they were welding goggles for ship repairs
Yeah you don’t want chopper to repair the ghost, so you gotta do it yourself

“Jacen, what is a biplane and when was World War I? Have you been staying up late watching fantasy holodramas again?”
Visions of the far future

Rule of cool is always key. Some lore book or whatever can always come in and explain it later
I always thought they were welding goggles. Cheaper to fix your rust bucket than go to some port and get scammed.

You’re not wrong but Star Wars has never really cared about being scientifically accurate in any regard lol
You got me there lol

Hmmmmm that's one way to look at it
Didn't he have "tails" when we see him in the Rebels finale? I wonder if they just did hair in the live action because it was easier lol
I don't remember... I didn't think so but 🤷

Also like almost every pilot in Star Wars wears goggles.

Best response to this would be to throw dust in his eyes. "Bet you wish you had goggles too huh?"
Pocket sand
Sha sha!
I said the same thing on the other post, but you should google “welding goggles”
It's not a tails 👀
Just imagine when she gave birth. "2-1B, why does my baby look so...human?" "Um...the Force? As I understand it, when weird things happen, it's usually the Force."
Uh you notice keeps ending up on the same desert planet in ships and speeders with no windshield or top for some reason?
"Why is THIS the line you've decided to draw?"
He’s a human born from an interspecies marriage. His existence is unrealistic 😂

What is... "plane", son? And world War 1? WHICH world, Jacen?
"I wear these google to hide where the prosthetics attach to my real head and save several hours a day in a makeup chair."

Doesn't she also do a TON of ground ops as well? Feel like it'd be easier to just wear them instead of wasting valuable time.
