Wedge Antilles is my faverite star wars character and I was wondering if any others join me and if so why?

He's hardly in the movies from what I remember, but the X-Wing series is (in my opinion) the best thing the EU ever gave us due to their Top Gun esque sense of fun and excitement and admirable restraint in not using Superweapons as plot points again and again (mostly).

Nope, Thrawn, HK-47 and Revan are my favorite characters from the Star Wars universe.

wow remember reading the books ages ago when I was still growing up, yeah guess I'm a fan. But must put out a notable mention to Admiral Thrawn as well.

I'm more a fan of Final Fantasy's Wedge. Not that I dislike Star Wars' Wedge but I love a good running joke. Like Cid and Biggs, a character has been named Wedge in almost every Final Fantasy game.

Back when I was a little kid and played Rogue Squadron, before I even had any idea there was anything else in the Star Wars universe, Wedge was my favorite character. He's stayed at that lofty post to this day.

I always loved Wedge Antilles. Dude is badass. Survived both Death Star battles. And the X-Wing series of books in the EU is amazing, too.

Except Final Fantasy IX, where due to illness the roles of Biggs and Wedge were played by Zorn and Thorn.

Wedge is pretty cool, but I'm a serious Corran Horn fan. A Jedi, a detective, and a pilot?
All in one? That's really cool.

Psh, you can keep your Jedi-sue.

Hobbie and Jansen were more entertaining than Wedge or Corran. Although Myn Donos was my personal favourite.

Wedge is cool, but even so Chewbacca gets the nod. I mean, I won't be alone in that so this isn't rare. But in the EU

it takes a moon to finally kill Chewbacca. A creature so bad ass no man, monster, lightsaber, gun or robot could kill him. It took a moon.

But, I have to admit, Wedge was really friggin' awesome. I'm sure most of the Rebels on the Death Star 2's run had to be new, rare to find veterans of the first run, and for Wedge to survive two? Damn right he needs props.

I'm not a massive fan, but he was pretty cool. I read a few of the Rogue Squadron books, which weren't bad.

Not my favorite, but the man who helped blow up 2 death stars deserves some recognition.

While I love Wedge I do have to say my favorite is Corran Horn. *minor spoilers alert* He's so badass he turned down getting trained in the force by Luke Skywalker in order to focus on rescuing prisoners from the belly of a Super Star Destroyer. Then he does get the training to get back his wife, but he can't manipulate objects but can manipulate minds! Dude knows how to fight, love, and admit when he makes a mess of things and owns up. Favorite female character is his wife BTW.
