Talk:Battle of Yavin/Legends

Should the long-term siege of Yavin be written about as a separate battle? VT-16 20:44, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea, "Siege of Yavin" even sounds like a good title for it. jSarek 10:29, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * How about if we rename this page First Battle of Yavin (Galactic Civil War). Then, we'll rename the First Battle of Yavin Base: Second Battle of Yavin (Galactic Civil War). Many battles took place on Yavin including during the Great Sith War: Battle of Yavin (Great Sith War, We already have the Battle of the Jedi Praxeum as well. MyNz 17:57, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Well technically all of those you just mentioned take place on Yavin 4, the more-prominent fourth moon of Yavin. So, since this battle takes place above the uninhabitable gas planet of Yavin, and all of those take place on Yavin 4, there's really no need for all of that; and if we're going to be more specific for First Battle of Yavin Base, then it should be First Battle of Yavin 4 or something along those lines.

"It's Impossible, even for a computer"
Before the battle, one of the pilots didn't believe they can't win, until Luke told him otherwise. Who was that pilot, was he Wedge Antilles? "Okay, seated next to Luke Skywalker is Wedge Antilles, according to the script. However, that isn't actor Dennis Lawson, who would play Wedge in the cockpit scenes later on the film. It appears to be Jack Klaff, who is listed in the credits as John D. All published reports state that it is Wedge who utters the line in this scene, so it is generally accepted that the character seated next to Luke is Wedge, even though the actor is the guy who's supposed to play John D. Confounding matters even more is that Klaff's on-set dialogue is dubbed over by the actor who regularly supplies Wedge's lines."
 * Definitely not Wedge, had to be some other pilot with an anonymous name, unless we already have that name down. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 20:02, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * It was scripted as Wedge, but the actor was not Denis Lawson - that's why the character is often referred to by fans as Fake Wedge. QuentinGeorge 11:49, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * According to a webpage Pablo Hidalgo wrote back when he was a West End Games freelancer rather than a Lucasfilm employee:

Let me get this straight, so Jack Klaff plays Wadge when he's in the briefing room, but then he plays John D, and Wedge is played by Dennis Lawson.

Or was Jack always John D, and Wedge was always Dennis. Double D 14:12, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * The official word is, that's Wedge there; they even used Klaff's image for the first Wedge Antilles card in the Star Wars Customizable Card Game. jSarek 07:32, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Blues
How do we know the exact name of the Blue pilots (other than those mentioned in Rebel Assault and that Rookie One piloted a Spearhead? In the game he pilots an X-Wing. MoffRebus 01:15, 27 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, Rookie One does in fact pilot a R-22 Spearhead. Not everything in the games are the way they are in-universe. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 19:43, 27 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * My question was HOW do we know that he DOES pilot a spearhead?? MoffRebus 21:38, 27 Oct 2005 (UTC)
