Wedge

Who was Wedge? I know his last name was Antillies. And in ANH, C3PO said to Luke that their last master was Captain Antillies. Was this someone related to Wedge?

Wedge has always been one of my favorite characters.

I believe Wedge is the son of Captian Antilles.

Maybe, but you'd think the son of a captain wouldn't be an expendable pilot on the attack of the first death star 😕

No, the Antilles on that ship at the start has nothing to do with Wedge at all; Wedge was just a talented Rebel Pilot with a full EU bio.

Ush- Wedge is cool.

It's said by GL himself that the name Wedge and certainly Antilles are popular in the SW-universe.

To- yeah, I'll agree with that! I was SO happy when he was finally alowed out of his cockpit for the end of ROTJ...

He was out of his cockpit in ANH. Don't you remember his line?

"That's impossible, even for a computer!"

That's not Denis Lawson.

well sh*t. 🙁

You did see him running on Hoth in ESB I think. He shouted something to Luke after the battle.

Bit of a curious anomaly, that.

Yeah, I suspect that was just a Denis Lawson voice-over in ESB, though.

He didn;t get a PROPER bit out of his cockpit until ROTJ. And even then he just hugged a few people. Harsh.

Yeah but he got to be on screen with Han, Leia , Lando and Luke. I'd settle for that. 😄

Wedge would have made a good jedi

Why?

I don't know. Because he's a good pilot?

in Anakins voice:

What does that got to do with anything?

I was kidding, anway. But I bet you that Wedge was a pothead! 😮‍💨

No, he wasn't boring enough to be a pothead. 😛
