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)
 * There are two Antilles families: One Corellian, the other Alderaanian. Admiral J. Nebulax 13:15, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Raymus Antilles is the Rebel Commander on Tantive IV whose uttered, "But this is a c-consular shiiipp... (gack)" as he dies at the hand of Lord Vader's Force choke... Commander Darc 03:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Excellent! I was very curious about his (non)relationship to "Captain Antilles" of Alderaan.Mikda Fopal

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- Leads: "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
 * That's nice. But this isn't Wikipedia. QuentinGeorge 21:45, 21 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Just so there's no confusion, this isn't an attack on your writing. In fact, I think it reads well. I'm just saying it should be consist with all the other character bios, where the first word is the character's name, bolded, and then the birth and death dates in parentheses. QuentinGeorge 21:48, 21 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Fixed it up a little. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 21:54, 21 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Rewrote lead to conform to QuentinGeorge's request, for the sake of style uniformity. DexonColm
 * I think that the lead which appears here could be combined with the standard "boring" lead. It can be done. --SparqMan 18:06, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. It would make it a lot better. Admiral J. Nebulax 18:11, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Done and done.TIEPilot051999 18:45, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks everyone. DexonColm 2:42 PM, 2 Dec 2005

Young Wedge Pic
There's a nice picture of young Wedge (asking Booster Terrik if he can take the Z-95 Headhunter) on this site. Could someone upload it here into Wookieepedia? I think it would make a nice adding to the article. --Tinwe 20:13, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not really a good picture, however. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:27, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * At least we know it exists. I'm sure a Wookieepedian has that comic available for scanning. --SparqMan 22:29, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, the image would have to be cropped, however. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:06, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * The whole comic is available here . That particular panel is on page 16, but there are a few other young Wedges to choose from. Just take your pick ;) --Tinwe 16:58, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * We would need a nice-sized one, nothing too large or long. Just right. Admiral J. Nebulax 19:43, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. --Master Starkeiller 14:29, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Nice job, Starkeiller. Admiral J. Nebulax 15:51, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I picked the most dramatic pic of the bunch. --Master Starkeiller 16:16, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, you made a good choice. Admiral J. Nebulax 17:19, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks Starkeiller, it's good to have an image of young "Veggies" here! (Should the nickname be included in the article, btw? After all, it was his parents who called him that... ;) --Tinwe 19:40, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * It could be, but that isn't neccisary. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:19, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Is it me, or does the older Wedge look an awful lot like Tim Matheson? Dexon Colm 2:51 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Who is that? Admiral J. Nebulax 20:55, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * He played Otter in "Animal House," was on The West Wing and played in about 16 million TV movies. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001513/ Dexon Colm
 * Figures he's in TV movies... No one knows any TV movie actors... Of course, he was in Animal House, so he's known. Admiral J. Nebulax 18:44, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Add More Biography?
Should something be added about Wedge crashing on Geonosis, fighting off some Trade Federation battle droids, and escaping in an old, abandoned Jedi Fighter?
 * Definitely. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:16, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Whoa, where's that from?--SparqMan 20:27, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike. TIEPilot051999 20:28, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * You didn't know that, SparqMan? Anyways, back to the point&mdash;someone with the game with have to add that in. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:32, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I've never played the game, so, no, I was unaware. --SparqMan 21:17, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean it that way, it's just that it has been stated other places throughout this Wikicity. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:22, 27 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Also the info from the Tales story Lucky could be added. I don't own it myself though. Eyrezer 22:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * His mission to Kril'dor from Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy too should be in. -00:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * How about Wedge's mission to Krant with Leia? ala Galactic Battlegrounds I did not want to add anything to the page without first posting the idea for discussion.

Atarumaster88 17:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, I don't have the game out right in front of me, but I seem to recall that Wedge narrates the Rebel campaign and alludes to flying over the campaign. Does that mean he was involved? I'm not sure how speculative that is.

Improvement on Personality
I started a personality section on wedge. most other main characters have one, but he doesn't, so i decided to start this one up. either it will be deleted (which is okay, i didn't spend that long on it, lol) or expanded, which would be better. Thanks. GrandAdmiralParck 23:08, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That's good. Something to build on for sure. -Finlayson 03:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Wedge-type character
How is this meant as a character that survives peril but has no backstory? The only times I saw characters named Wedge and Biggs, it's in FF6 and FF7 and in both cases they get killed of during the prologue. If the phrase refers to other Wedge's could you point me to them? (I don't know if the Wedge-type character link is supposed to work, as it gives a strange message when I tried it.)
 * Can't explain it any better that the BTS does. I will say characters that get killed that early are more like redshirt characters.  -Finlayson 19:09, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
