History
"It'll be like old times, Luke. They'll never stop us."

- Biggs Darklighter to Luke Skywalker, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, where he met his death.

The most known Darklighter was Biggs Darklighter, befriender of Luke Skywalker, member of the Rebel Alliance, and pilot of an X-wing during the Battle of Yavin. His Wingmen included his old friend Luke, and Wedge Antilles. Unfortunately, Biggs met his death when Darth Vader opened fire on him while he was flanking down Luke in the Death Star trench.

Behind the scenes
The first mention of anyone named Darklighter is in the person of Seig Darklighter, commonly believed to be the leader of the Jedi Rebellion, in the rough draft. The name Darklighter again appears in the second draft. This draft tells the story of a Padawan who abandons his Master after coming under the influence of the dark side (referred to as the Bogan).
