The return of the... Wedge

By Grand Admiral Buford, in X-Wing

Like seriously... at this point the 9th movie could just be the Falcon taking off from the planet of salt and tears, the First Order in pursuit, and then Wedge, Lando and a bunch of B-Wings warp in and blow them all up, and I will walk out of the theater saying “that was the best 5 minutes of my life!”

Anyone remember what he was flying in the Aftermath series?

Had some crummy freighter he was using to scout out Imperial forces in the first, and was broken in the second. Haven’t quite worked up the will power to face that writing again for the third.

Don’t get your hopes up. It’s not their story. We'll be lucky to see them survive the movie...

And I'm worried that Nostalgia - > Novelty - > Nostalgia is going to make for a dorky trilogy. Which seems like what is going to happen.

Seriously, I don't see how they can resolve all the threads of the first two movies satisfactorily, plus everything they're adding into the last one, even if they bump the time for the movie past standard. Hopefully they'll just focus on doing the best they can with a few of them and leave the others, rather than trying to touch on everything and doing a poor job.

Odds the corvette with fighters is a Antilles led resistance group?

Would you like Wedges story spoiled?

“Crummy” overstates how terrible his bucket was. A single probe droid would destroy it.

Oh, my hopes are sky-*******-high! So far the only returners from the OT who’ve bit it, were Han, Luke, and Akbar. And we already know Luke’s going to pull an Obi-Wan and hang around in his translucency. Really considering the fact that R2, C3-P0, Leia, and Chewie all lived through the 7 and 8, I think the odds are pretty good for Wedge and Lando. If not both, at least one of them.

Ah fair, I just thought it was only promotionals.

I think the orange is a Poe thing, but if we get Wedge he might come in a new T-85 or who knows, maybe even a classic T-65. It would seem like a special Wedge paint scheme would also be good for merchandising, but not sure they want to highlight anyone else like Poe.

I'm hoping Wedge is one of the commanders uniting the remnant of the New Republic (I mean, they couldn't all have been on those few worlds).

Yay!

It's about time we got a character back whose superpower is actual competence.

Our current heroes are powered by arrogance, fear, and magic.

Yes.

'Cause it means Wes Janson is back too!

Wait, what IP have you been watching??

Cuz my Star Wars features warrior teddy bears, whiny Farmboys, "I Got A Bad Feeling About This," a malfunctioning jetpack killing the best BH in the galaxy, and Superweapons that pop easier than a ripe zit.

Don’t forget about WW2 dogfighting physics in space!

Yeah, I've been trying that New Star Wars.

Guess I'd better stick to Star Wars Classic.

Hmmm I wonder if the orange T-70 with R2-D2 in it is actually Wedge??

THEY GOT LAWSON!?!?!? Holy ******* **** balls on thirty ******ed camels!

I know they offered him a bit part cameo for the 7th film, but he turned it down because he wanted something more than that. Wedge and B-Wings, This 9th movie is going to be AWESOME!

What if Wedge pilots a B-wing!? 😱


More likely though, he’d be piloting this. Although theres also a chance that the green one is piloted by Temmin Waxley, his protage.

...Oh frak, he COULD be in a B-Wing..! They ARE holding stuff back about that fighter...

Just watch the B-Wing be a frakkin' superfighter.

And then they introduce the T-85 in XWMG after the B-Wing, ayy lmao HYPERFIGHTERS

With as old as he is I'm thinking a CR-90 or a frigate. Might even be Admiral Antilles in charge of a rebuilt Tantive IV.

Naaaaah. That's Leia's ship, c'mon. You KNOW it to be true..!

"But she wasn't in resistance epic"

WELL IMAGINE THE SPOILER IF SHE WAS BRUH

Not a guarantee, and only marginally likely, but there is a chance they will try to pay homage to the family that captained it through parts of 3 separate episodes. And yes, I know that wasn't the same part of the Antilles family. Do the writers and producers know that though?

I’m not opposed. Clearly he lives.
