My latest article lands over at the official Star Wars site, a look at the life and times of Wedge Antilles, a Rebel hero who’s contributions to the cause of peace were every bit as vital as that of more publicly decorated heroes.
If a hall of fame of galactic heroes were ever built, a slew of familiar names would be found. Luke Skywalker and his sister, Leia Organa; their father, the legendary Anakin Skywalker, and his master, Obi-Wan Kenobi; Jedi Knights from ages past including Avar Kriss, Stellan Gios, and Elzar Mann; and numerous others, whose heroic adventures would be told to children across the galaxy as the insidious scourge of the dark side reigned over the stars.
Despite the contributions to freedom these (often flawed) heroes made, there were many who silently fought the good fight without the spotlight of fame or infamy. Uppermost among these unsung heroes was a young Corellian who dreamed of sailing the stars and becoming a pilot. His name was Wedge Antilles.
