I believe 8 out of the 33 basic damage cards are Pilot trait? Draw any of those and you can simply discard the damage card AND you don't need to discard the Determination card either. That means you've got about a 1/4 chance to negate the damage of a critial hit completely without rolling. Not incredible odds, but if you need to protect a key Pilot ability like Vader it may be worth it for a measely 1 point, and even moreso on a some of the more hull-heavy ships (like TIE Bombers, Y-Wings, the Falcon and the new Devastator with it's 12(!) hull).

Also note that while Chewbacca on the Falcon is a great critical-hit immune tank for the Rebels (and his Crew card has a similar effect but with discard), I don't think any equivalent Pilot exists for the Imperials: they have some Crew cards that allows you to discard them to negate a Critical, but that's about it. Could be wrong, though.
