Wexley's X-wing during the Battle of Exegol

During the Battle of Exegol, Resistance pilot Temmin Wexley flew an X-wing fighter with the R6 astromech, R6-D8 as his astromech droid along with the rest of the Resistance's air team. Arriving at the planet, they were put under heavy fire by the Sith Eternal's fleet of Xyston-class Star Destroyers, the Final Order, with Wexley almost running into Seftin Vanik's RZ-2 A-wing interceptor. Although Wexley put up a fight, he was eventually shot down by TIE/dg starfighters, crashing on the side of a Star Destroyer.[2]
