Titan, largest moon of Saturn, and the only moon in the Solar system with an atmosphere worth discussing (although it does consist primarily of hydrogen and methane). Certain chemical activities detected on the surface point to either cryovulcanism (which seems odd, as Titan shouldn't be quite cold enough for that) or some sort of primitive life form, a simple variety of bacteria or something, that is absorbing methane and excreting ammonia. If the latter, it would be the first extraterrestrial form of life known, which would be quite exciting.

Well, actually, the Incom T-65 "X-wing" variable-foil starfighter, while popular with the forces in rebellion against the Galactic Empire, was not exclusive to their use - its popularity resulted from its relatively low cost, and the modularity of the widely-popular Incom control panel design (meaning that anyone trained on, say, an Incom T-16 skyhopper could be taught to fly an X-wing pretty quickly). The primary reason T-65s weren't flown by Imperial forces had to do with standardization, and the Emperor's rather cozy relationship with Sienar Flight Systems, makers of the TIE line of fighters and fighter-bombers.

:)

And back on topic: Yellow dwarf stars like our Sun, one of the most common spectral types in the galaxy.
