Star Wars/Wedge Antilles

The character Wedge Antilles was a starfighter pilot who fought for the [Rebel Alliance]? and who later served the [New Republic]?.

Wedge was a smuggler who joined the Rebellion at age 17. He flew against the [Death Star]? at the [Battle of Yavin]?, where he uttered the immortal words, "Look at the size of that thing!" Afterwards he founded Rogue Squadron along with [Luke Skywalker]?, which he soon commanded. He led an assault group in the [Battle of Endor]? against the second Death Star. Six years later, at age 27, he accepted promotion to the rank of general.

Wedge Antilles appears in the films [Star Wars]?, [The Empire Strikes Back]?, and [Return of the Jedi]?, as well as in most of the books set after these events.

Wedge took part in founding Rogue Squadron anew after the battle of Endor as commander. A major accomplishment of him, Corran Horn, and other of the newer Rogues was the capture of Coruscant.

[Denis Lawson]? played Wedge in all three films. Coincidentally, he is the uncle of [Ewan McGregor]?, the actor who played the young [Obi-Wan Kenobi]? in the film [The Phantom Menace]?.
