The Battle of Scarif helps to explain why the Rebel Alliance was only able to muster about thirty starfighters to attack the Death Star, and why they would let Luke, a pilot with no experience in X-Wings, join the attack. The battle severely depletes the Rebel starfighter corps and its leader, General Merrick, is killed in action. Luke is recruited to replace Red 5, who was also killed at Scarif. The battle also adds weight to Luke's admonition to Han that the Rebels "...could use a good pilot like you, you're turning your back on them."
