A survivor if ever there was one, Wedge Antilles has lived through some of the
Rebellion's most important battles against
the Empire. The young Corellian served as Red Two during the Battle of
Yavin, and flew as
Luke Skywalker's wingman during the final approach on the
Death Star's thermal exhaust port. When Wedge sustained damage to his fighter, he had to pull out and leave the battle.
Three years later, Wedge flew as part of Rogue Group during the Battle of Hoth. He and his gunner Janson perfected a daring maneuver wherein a snowspeeder used its harpoon and tow-cable to trip up the legs of the attacking Imperial walker.
During the climactic Battle of Endor, Wedge, as Red Leader, spearheaded the Alliance starfighter attack into the heart of the uncompleted Death Star.
