Talk:Wedge Antilles/Legends

silly question
Did Wedge ever hold the rank of Captain? If so, should we add him to the Captain Antilles disambiguation page? Silly Dan 01:05, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't recall a source where he is refered to as a captain. He seems to either be a commander (Hoth+), wing commander (Endor), or general (after Bilbringi, but remained Rogue Squadron's CO) for his appearances. Tycho was a captain, so I think it's fair to assume that Wedge may have avoided the rank to continue leading Rogue Squadron until it was absolutely necessary for him to take over larger responsibilities. I'd say without a source that names him as such, he should be left off the disambig page. --SparqMan 19:54, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
 * In the X-wing comics (for example, Battleground: Tatooine), Wedge is identified as a Captain. Looks like from The Rebel Opposition through Mandatory Retirement he was Captain Antilles, but starting with the X-wing book series (Rogue Squadron he was Commander Antilles. So let's add him to the disambig page.

appearance in episode III?
near the end of the movie, on Tantive IV, or whatever the blockade runner that Yoda, Obi-wan and Organa were on, there is a scene where Organa leads the R2-D2 and C-3PO to a person, who i seem to remember wearing a suit similiar to that of a rebellion pilot, and then telling him to wipe C-3PO's memory, at the time i was quite sure that he called this person 'Antilles', however looking back over it, i cannot be sure, can anybody confirm this?
 * This would be Raymus Antilles, captain of the Tantive IV, and not at all related to Wedge.--Eion 18:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Leading Sentence
I really think the Leading Sentence needs to be consistent with other character entries. ie Wedge Antilles (21 BBY - ) was a...blah, blah QuentinGeorge 08:20, 21 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I based the soft lead of this entry on many of the character bios in the New Essential Guide To Characters. Under Associated Press guidelines, a longer piece can have a soft, "global" lead, since the amount of information is so abundant a summary first sentence would become unwieldly. It's not a stub, where a short, hard lead would be appropriate.

Why not wait a while and see what others think? DexonColm12:00 EDT, 21 OCT 2005

From Wikipedia guide to writing better articles: "The lead section is the section before the first headline... It should establish significances, large implications and why we should care. If the subject is amenable to definition, the first sentence should give a concise, conceptually sound definition that puts the article in context." DexonColm
