[Anarchemitis]

As a former Imperial TIE Interceptor pilot I remember the first time I went up against Wedge Antilles. Of course I didn't know it was the legendary Wedge Antilles until after the fact. I was pulling escort duty for a secret ship carrying component parts to the Empire's secret Tarkin superweapon. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a squadron of X-Wings appeared. Now I'm no sarlaac when it comes to maneuvering but this guy was all over me, matching my movements perfectly. Suddenly half of my left wing panel was missing and I started to spin. Ironically, the crippling of my ship saved me because my maneuvers became too unpredictable and, as they had already seized the transport ship by the time he landed the hit, my pursuer broke off. I barely made planetfall on the nearest world with a breathable atmosphere. Once I learned who nearly killed me, well, I freely admit the next opportunity I had to face a rebel flight group commanded by Wedge Antilles...I didn't take it.

Most badass Star Wars character out there, glad to see other people share my love for the character.

 

[Dwarfman]

If I had a top ten favourite characters for star wars he'd be there.

Survives two Death Star runs, The battle at Hoth and more.

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.

You do realize that Wedge Antilles ran guns for the rebellion, AND those Wedges in FF were PROBABLY, in all actuality, a reference to Star Wars.

Wow, just epic...

Okay, now that I am caught up with this thread, I can admit, if I could be anybody from Star Wars, Lando Calrissian is the most bad-ass mother fucker to ever own the Falcon, and that means he is the most bad ass of all bad asses ever.

Kinda pissed family guy didn't include Wedge in the parodies, I liked Wedge.

 

[Neverhoodian]

Wedge Antilles is one of my favorite Star Wars characters. I think what makes him so likable for me is that he's more of an "everyman's hero" than Luke. I find it easier to relate to heroes with no special superhuman powers who instead rely on their training and experience to get them through trouble.

If you'll forgive the incredibly nerdy analogy, Wedge is like Batman to Luke's Superman, but with far less "MY PARENTS ARE DEEEEEEEAD" angst.

Also, I've always wanted to be an X-Wing pilot more than a Jedi.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Hell yeah, that guy survived anything the Empire could throw at him. That and he contributed to the destruction of the Second Death Star.

 

[Del-Toro]

you have to be a baddass ************ to lead rogue squadron for any length of time.

Final fantasy's Wedge and Biggs are named as a hommage to their star wars counterpart (biggs is also an xwing pilot, but he dies)

Will have to think whether Wedge is my fav star wars character, but I like the guy, all the books relating to rogue squadron in the EU are good reads.

 

[The Madman]

Wedge was Stars Wars 'everyday' hero!

He only shows up occasionally, doesn't really do anything special, he doesn't have the force of any magical powers... Just a solid pilot who's always there when shit gets rough and the main protagonist needs a wingman to take down the Empire. Or so that's how I always saw him anyway.

And for that I salute him!
