For some Star Wars fans, there are certain faces in particular who weren't that amazing about modern film. While I was more than touched under the movie I saw in the theater last night, there was also a bone that was just seconds away from making me smile.
And no, it wasn't Dominic Monaghan from Missing.
(Vol. Note: The following contains spoilers for Star Wars: The Awakening of Skywalker.)
Fans of the original trilogy will remember Luke Skywalker's left man, Biggs Darklight, who was brutally killed in the final attack on the original Dead Star A New Hope. Those romantic fans will also remember Luke Skywalker and others Right-hand man, Dik Ralter, also tragically killed in last Echo Base attack Empire Rebels Back.
None of them had checked in The rise of the Skywalker.
But Martha Antilles was there.
Those same fans will surely remember Willge as one of Luke Skywalker, and others a right-hand man, who somehow managed to survive all the great treaties with the State that were not barred. It may be the only surviving member of the pilot of the Rebellion starps that has worked in all three of the first two films.
How was it that Wedge got so lucky? No one really knows, but when you put together all of his medieval appearances, the guy actually had a little respect for the character. We first see him shoot the machine with Luke in the fitness room at Yavin 4 at A New Hope. In this scene he is like a Tatooine farm boy. However, at the end of the Return of the Jedi, Wedge is a spherical ace that looks lightweight with the idea of being displaced in the unique shape of the Second Star and a blast of some kind.

So imagine my excitement when I saw actor Denis Lawson don the classic orange flight suit in one battle. She appeared at the climax of The rise of the Skywalker, except for the helmet and control of an unknown ship in battle with the Final Order fleet over Exogol.
So, why did it take so long for a Duke champion like Widge to make his way back to the silver screen? It turns out he was met when Disney broke into the Expanded Universe. Most of his heroic antics take place in many days of literature and in comics aimed at a non-biblical setting. However, I do not mean that his repetition took place The rise of the Skywalker it was unexpected.
In the months leading up to the premiere of The rise of the Skywalker, Martge suddenly appeared in the canon. In the new myth, he is the father of Temmin “Snap” Wexley (Greg Grunberg), a member of the Black squadron and the right-hand man of Poe Dameron. Wedge featured prominently inside Star Wars: Reincarnation, a particularly good novel with deep hooks into Marvel & # 39; s Poe Dameron comics too Star Wars of War 2.
Finally, Wedge's fate is behind The rise of the Skywalker it is not clear. We saw Snap bite it in the last films, and a favorite Nigerian met with a fiery ending in the hands of the Emperor's troops. I hope Wedge has brought his family back to the farm, with his loving wife, Nora, to earth Akiva. He deserves a little peace and quiet after more than 40 years in the battle between the stars.
