mwu didnt have his helmet he couldnt have survived drifting in space. kira escaped before, BEFORE the self destruction thing blew. it was explained fairly well. Mwu got hit by a lohrengreen and took the hit without moving doing the hero thing, if he survived it would ruin his character a hell of alot. oh and the dude in the flashback of 25 with rey is clearly not rau check the hair color dumbass, rau and rey got the same color and neo and mwu. the color in the flashback is the same as neo and mwu so its neo and not mwu since at that time mwu was an ace pilot of the EA if you dont suggest that he were at to places at the same time with diffrent hair styles. other than that i guess its possible for mwu to hold his breath swim down to earth and fall right down on a pile of sand or something and survive just to be picked up by the EA and then brainwashed.
