Wedge: "Sithspit! What's that?"
Janson: "That's the sun, Wedge. It's after dawn."
Wedge: "Well, it offends me. Turn it off."
―Wedge Antilles and Wes Janson[src]
Wedge: "Never mind what I just said. Let's just shoot Wes."
Tycho: "What's our strategy?"
Hobbie: "I thought we'd just all draw and fire. But I could count down to zero and then we could draw and fire."
―Wedge Antilles, Derek "Hobbie" Klivian and Tycho Celchu, about Wes Janson[src]
Face: "I'm putting in a commendation for Lieutenant Janson for bravery."
Wedge: "Like he needs another one."
Face: "Maybe he can build a little fort out of them."
―Wedge Antilles and Garik "Face" Loran[src]
Wedge: "Good screaming, Hobbie."
Hobbie: "I practice a lot. Anytime Wes makes plans for the squadron, for example. Anytime a Corellian cooks for us."
―Wedge Antilles and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian[src]
"Tomer, I direct your attention to the word 'let'. You've misused it. You don't 'let' me, or 'not let' me, anything. Understand?"
―Wedge Antilles, speaking to a bossy Tomer Darpen[src]
Wedge: "We have the right tools to subvert our Imperial admiral."
Hobbie: "What tools?"
Wedge: "Oh, Wes's maturity, your optimism, and my diplomatic skills."
Hobbie: "We're doomed."
―Wedge Antilles and Derek Klivian[src]
Isard: "I expected you to be taller."
Wedge: "I expected you to be dead."
―Ysanne Isard and Wedge Antilles[src]
Janson: "His name is Kettch, and he's an Ewok."
Wedge: "No."
Janson: "Oh, yes. Determined to fight. You should hear him say, 'Yub, yub.' He makes it a battle cry."
―Wes Janson, to Wedge Antilles concerning entrants into Wraith Squadron[src]
Janson: "Leader, this is Three. Are you crazy? Acknowledge."
Wedge: "Three, Leader. That's affirmative."
―Wes Janson and Wedge Antilles[src]
Janson: "I'm coming back to Rogue Squadron. That was the deal."
Wedge: "Wes, the Wraiths don't want you anyway."
Elassar: "That's right. You're unlucky."
Dia: "I hate how serious he is all the time."
Runt: "We don't like the way he chews his food."
Shalla: "But we'll miss his rear end."
―Wraiths, upon Wes Janson's departure from the squadron[src]
Wedge: "I thought maybe you'd be able to do what I never could. Get Wes up to an emotional age of fourteen, maybe fifteen."
Tycho: "No power in the universe could do that. Not Darth Vader and the dark side of the Force, not the nuclear devastation of an exploding sun."
―Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu[src]
Wedge: "Leia's two doors down, with two strange men."
Mirax: "How do you know they're strange men? It might be Han and Luke."
Wedge: "Han and Luke are two strange men."
―Wedge Antilles and Mirax Terrik Horn[src]
"Don't make me go Vader on you."
―Wedge Antilles, to Sate Pestage[src]
Luke: "But it's not impossible. I used to bull's-eye womp rats in my T-16 back home, and they're not much bigger than two meters!"
Wedge: "Yeah, and were the womp rats shooting at you with turbolaser cannon?"
―Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles, shortly before the Battle of Yavin[src]
Cowall: "Am I speaking to the Ewok pilot?"
Wedge: "Yub, yub. Kettch here. Who talk?"
Cowall: "My name Fel. Fel want to fly with Kettch."
―Tetran Cowall (impersonating Soontir Fel) and Wedge Antilles (impersonating an Ewok)[src]
"Sometimes I miss my sanity."
―Wedge Antilles[src]
Cracken: "You're coming dangerously close to insubordination, General."
Wedge: "No, General. I'm not your subordinate. And what I'm coming dangerously close to is violence."
―Airen Cracken and Wedge Antilles[src]
Wedge: "Unseating Isard may, in fact, turn out to be impossible."
Corran: "Gavin, this is where you're supposed to tell us that unseating her isn't tough and relate the whole thing to varminting on Tatooine."
Gavin: "I didn't hear anyone mention a trench or canyon or womp rats. Taking a planet is beyond me."
―Wedge Antilles, Corran Horn and Gavin Darklighter, during the Bacta War[src]
Wedge: "There are only six beautiful women on all Agamar. And they're all married."
Face: "There are only five."
Wedge: "Six."
Face: "Five. Ettal Howrider got shot."
―Garik "Face" Loran and Wedge Antilles pose as Agamarians[src]
Wedge: "If this culture is as pilot-happy as we were told, taking the most sensible course out of here might cost me credibility I need. This could just be a test of nerve."
Hobbie: "Leader, Four. My nerves are already tested. Can I go home?"
―Wedge Antilles and Hobbie, prior to engaging Adumari pilots[src]
Tycho: "I don't remember. I get shot down in so many engagements, Hobbie."
Janson: "At least you weren't killed in action. Remember what Wedge used to tell people about me and the Battle of Hoth?"
Wedge: "Even Luke fell for that."
―A conversation about Wes Janson's supposed death[src]
Wedge: "It's been eight or nine years now that I've been fighting against the Empire. There were times I didn't think I was going to live another moment. I don't think I ever let myself dream I might survive this long, to see this sort of victory. This was always a goal, but now that it's here…I never really dared let myself look beyond the next battle, and now, it seems, there might truly be an end to the warfare. I don't know what I'll do with myself."
Ackbar: "Said like a man contemplating retirement."
Wedge: "Retirement? I'm not even thirty."
Ackbar: "Warfare is an occupation from which one can never retire too young, Commander."
―Wedge Antilles and Gial Ackbar[src]
Han: "Ride's too smooth."
Wedge: "Are you out of your mind? The ride's too smooth?"
Han: "Right. There should be some vibration, some dangerous-looking heat warnings to indicate that you're punching through the atmosphere. These Shrieks, they don't offer the atmosphere any respect."
Wedge: "What you're saying is, unless a transport is leaving a thin stream of pieces behind, like a trail of bread crumbs, during atmospheric entry, it doesn't match up to the Millennium Falcon standard."
Han: "Well... right."
―Han Solo and Wedge Antilles[src]
Thrackan: "All right. General Antilles, acting as Chief of State and Minister of War for Corellia, I hereby order you to communicate with your daughter Syal and do your genuine best to persuade her to follow whatever course of action I recommend to her. Is that clear enough?"
Wedge: "Absolutely."
Thrackan: "And?"
Wedge: "Go to hell."
―Thrackan Sal-Solo and Wedge Antilles[src]
Wedge: "We're going to face them with an enemy they've never had the displeasure of fighting. We're going to hit them with the Empire."
Tycho: "They're not going to like the Empire."
―Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu, to Iella Wessiri Antilles, on the Yuuzhan Vong[src]
"The fate of galactic civilization might someday hang on an intelligence network consisting of this guy I know."
―Wedge Antilles[src]
Wedge: "The Alliance will just have to make do with guys like Darklighter, Page, and Cracken."
Tycho: "Pity the Alliance."
―Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu, on their retirement[src]
Tycho: "Normally, we just shoot things."
Wedge: "We keep trying to retire. Give up this life of shooting things."
Tycho: "We're really men of peace at heart."
―Tycho Celchu and Wedge Antilles, to Zekk[src]
Hobbie: "You lied to me."
Wedge: "I did. With my brilliant achievements in the diplomatic profession has come the realization that lies can be powerful motivators."
Hobbie: "My faith is shattered."
Wedge: "You knew, when I said we needed four sets of women's clothing, that we were going to end up in them. You knew. So any hopes you had to the contrary were just self-delusion."
Hobbie: "I understand that. But I'd rather blame you than me."
―Wedge Antilles and Derek Klivian[src]
Han Solo: "Welcome aboard Mon Remonda. Let's get the rest of your pilots in... so I can get out of this torture suit."
Wedge: "But, sir, I was just going to say how smart you looked in your uniform. I think we ought to stay here, in uniform, a couple of hours so the holographers can capture the image. You know, for the historians."
Han Solo: "Wedge, I think I'm going to have you killed."
Wedge: "Yes, sir. I trust you'll wear your dress uniform for an event like that."
―Han Solo and Wedge Antilles[src]
Corran: "Rogue Squadron doesn't run, unless we really, really have to."
Wedge: "No, this will be Wraith Squadron's mission."
Face: "We don't mind running, even when we don't have to."
―Corran Horn, Wedge Antilles and Garik "Face" Loran[src]
"Lieutenant, you're out of uniform. And you know, wearing an Ewok as a swimsuit is a felony on some worlds."
―Wedge Antilles, to Wes Janson, who has just walked in stark naked, covered in Ewok food and holding a stuffed Ewok between his legs[src]
Thrackan: "General Antilles, acting as Chief of State and Minister of War for Corellia, I hereby order you to communicate with your daughter Syal and do your genuine best to persuade her to follow whatever course of action I recommend to her. Is that clear enough?"
Wedge: "Absolutely."
Thrackan: "And?"
Wedge: "Go to hell."
Thrackan: "Antilles, you've refused a direct order given during a military crisis, and I have it on record. Should I choose to, I can have security agents haul you away right now. I can conduct your trial within the hour and have you executed by morning."
Wedge: "Of course you can. You could also have me assassinated in a time of peace for having nicer hair than you. If I worried about that sort of thing, I'd never get any sleep."
―Thrackan Sal-Solo and Wedge Antilles[src]
"There are two types of male pilots. Good men, such as the ones I never tried to break or run out of my squadrons, whom I would shoot before I ever trusted them with my daughter. And worse men, whom I would shoot if I caught them looking at my daughter."
―Wedge Antilles[src]
Janson: "Tell me about a female pilot, Twin Suns Leader. She has a nice voice. Does she have looks to match?"
Wedge: "Well, yes. She's nice looking."
Janson: "Married? Attached?"
Wedge: "Attached, I think. Recently attached."
Janson: "So, who is she?"
Wedge: "Jay something." [to Tycho Celchu] "Isn't that right? Jay, Jay... That's it. Jaina Solo."
―Wes Janson and Wedge Antilles[src]
Wedge: "And may the Force be with you. You need it."
Face: "I have some Force here in my pocket. Kell, Cubber, you can have it if you need it. Oops, no, it's gone. Maybe it's in my cargo."
Wedge: "Eight?"
Face: "Yes, Leader?"
Wedge: "Be quiet."
―Wedge Antilles and Garik Loran[src]
Wedge: "Tycho, we're about to achieve a tremendous victory we don't want."
Tycho: "We'll put that in your biography. General Antilles was so good he couldn't fail when he tried to."
―Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu dicussing an unexpected turn of events at the Second Battle of Borleias during the Yuuzhan Vong War[src]
Han: "I could arrange for you to receive orders to conquer Coruscant, but your only resources would be twelve drunken Ewoks, four malfunctioning speeders, and forty kilos of beach sand."
Wedge: "That'll take at least two weeks, sir."
―Han Solo and Wedge Antilles[src]
Wedge: "Colonel Fel."
Jag: "Yes, Uncle?"
Wedge: "You should return to the dais and greet those people you bypassed. They're fairly important."
Jag: "They're politicians."
Wedge: "The impression is that you skipped them because they are not human."
Jag: "If they believe I did not greet them because they are not human, they are stupid. I did not greet them because they are politicians."
―Wedge Antilles and Jagged Fel[src]
Wedge: "I don't like this notion of dovin basal mines that pursue you."
Han: "Me, either. I'm going to draft a strongly worded letter to the Yuuzhan Vong high commander and insist he stop using them."
―Wedge Antilles and Han Solo[src]
Wedge: "You know something? In spite of the way you seem to hate it, you're pretty good at this management stuff."
Han Solo: "Don't ever, ever say that. Someone important might hear you. And then I'd be stuck with it."
―Wedge Antilles and Han Solo[src]
Janson: "So my question is, why me? Why didn't you bring Tycho up with you? He's your wingman. And he's better with records."
Wedge: "I need someone to be in charge on the ground when I'm up here. For example, if there's a diplomatic emergency."
Janson: "I can be in charge on the ground."
Wedge: "Oh, that'd be good. You and Hobbie running through the streets of Cartann, leaving destruction in your wake, taking charge when a delicate political disaster strikes. Here's an example. A noble of Cartann comes to you and says, 'I know we have no diplomatic relations yet, but I'm here to request asylum in the New Republic.' What do you say?"
Janson: "Is she good-looking?"
Wedge: "Thanks for making my point."
―Wes Janson and Wedge Antilles[src]
"Well, you know the Rogues. All we need is a ship and a rock to land it on."
―Wedge Antilles[src]
Janson: "They're calling me 'the darling one.' "
Wedge: "Who is?"
Janson: "The court, the crowds. They have tags for us all now, and I'm the darling one. Tycho is 'the doleful one.'"
Tycho: "I'm not sad."
Janson: "No, but you look sad. Makes the ladies of Cartann's court want to comfort you. They're so sad about wanting to comfort you that you could comfort them."
Hobbie: "And Tycho the only one of us with a successful relationship with a woman. Missed opportunities, Tycho."
Janson: "Hobbie is 'the dour one.' Not too much romance in that, Hobbie. And Wedge is 'the diligent one.' That may not sound too romantic, Wedge, but 'diligent' has a couple of colloquial meanings here that add to your luster—"
Wedge: "I don't want to know."
—Wes Janson, Wedge Antilles, Tycho Celchu, and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian discuss their nicknames on Adumar[src]
Nawara: "Run up this rift valley and hit something the third of the size of an X-wing, without the benefit of a targeting computer? That's impossible."
Gavin: "That's nothing. Back home in Beggar's Canyon…"
Wedge: "I don't think any pilot from Tatooine ever found a mission tough, especially when it involves racing through a canyon."
―Nawara Ven, Gavin Darklighter, and Wedge Antilles, discussing a plan to attack Borleias[src]
Wedge: "Face is one of our insertion experts, proficient in makeup, speaks several languages other than Basic—"
Face: "Don't forget, master actor."
Wedge: "And sometime cook. You're peeling tubers on kitchen duty tonight. Do you have anything else to add?"
Face: "Uhhh… No, sir."
―Wedge Antilles introduces Garik "Face" Loran at the commissioning of Wraith Squadron[src]
"I don't plan to die here, Luke. And while I don't think I can hold Borleias, I might be able to make it a name that causes little Vong children to whimper."
―Wedge Antilles, to Luke Skywalker[src]
Cel: "What do you suppose Thrawn would make of the Yuuzhan Vong, sir?"
Wedge: "Ground Vong, probably—if he had a few examples of their art."
―Lieutenant Cel and General Wedge Antilles[src]
Wedge: "Whatever they expect us to do, we don't do. Four, what do they expect us to do?"
Hobbie: "Run out toward the gate and get shot."
Wedge: "Correct. So we don't."
―Wedge Antilles and Derek "Hobbie" Klivian, running the gauntlet on Adumar[src]
"All I can see is my life flashing before my eyes. But that's okay: I always skip the boring bits."
―Wedge Antilles, while carrying Starkiller during the Assault on Kamino[src]
Luke: "Wedge, it's good to have you here."
Wedge: "Speaking of which…"
Luke: "No, you're not being paid."
―Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles[src]
Janson: "His name is Kettch, and he's an Ewok."
Wedge: "No."
Janson: "Oh, yes. Determined to fight. You should hear him say, 'Yub, yub.' He makes it a battle cry."
Wedge: "Wes, assuming he could be educated up to Alliance fighter-pilot standards, an Ewok couldn't even reach an X-wing's controls."
Janson: "He wears arm and leg extensions, prosthetics built for him by a sympathetic medical droid. And he's anxious to go, Commander."
Wedge: "Please tell me you're kidding."
―Wedge Antilles and Wes Janson[src]
Wedge: "You need to consider working as a team player."
Han Solo: "I'm a team player. As long as the rest of the team stays behind me."
―Wedge Antilles and Han Solo[src]
Wedge: "Just feeling my years. Speaking of which, I think I'll get in some simulator practice and beat up on the youngsters."
Janson: "That'll make you feel better. It always does me."
―Wedge Antilles and Wes Janson[src]
Wedge: "Han Solo, you have to love him..."
Leia: "...or freeze him in carbonite, I know."
―Wedge Antilles and Leia Organa on Han Solo[src]
Wedge: "So, what does my name mean, the way you pronounce it?"
Cazne'olan: "There is no good, direct translation of foreign names, but Wedgean'tilles comes close to 'slayer of stars.'"
Wedge: "I like it."
Cazne'olan: "It is much to be preferred to the alternative suggested by the Basic pronunciation."
Wedge: "Which is?"
Cazne'olan: "Difficult to translate."
Wedge: "Give me a rough go at it."
Cazne'olan: "Being generous, it is 'One so foul he could induce vomiting in a rancor.'"
―Wedge Antilles and Cazne'olan discuss Twi'leki naming conventions[src]
"I would ask all of you to lift your glasses and join me in a toast. To Rogue Squadron—past, present, and future. Those who oppose freedom and liberty oppose us. Let that fact give them pause to think and encouragement to travel the path of peace."
―Wedge Antilles toasts Rogue Squadron[src]
"I say let the Imperials keep coming, because every time a new admiral crawls out of the Outer Rim or some Imperial goon finds a lost superweapon, Rogue Squadron gets a new starfighter. Seems like a good deal to me."
―General Wedge Antilles[src]
"As I entered hyperspace I thought I heard a familiar voice say, 'Good shooting, Wedge,' but it didn't sound like Hobbie. In fact, it didn't seem to come from over the comlink at all. As I think about it now, it sort of sounded like… Luke."
―Wedge Antilles, recalling his final moments in the Battle of Hoth[src]
Wedge: "He deliberately countermanded one of my orders."
Tycho: "He was furtive."
Wedge: "Sneaky, even."
Tycho: "We'll make a Rebellion-style pilot out of him yet."
―Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu, on Jagged Fel[src]
"If you continue to map the Unknown Regions, you'll have to call them something else."
―Wedge Antilles[src]
Wedge: "I hope you'll still consider me a friend. Always. Meaning you can still call on me. Send me messages. Send me lifeday presents."
Qwi Xux: "Greedy."
―Wedge Antilles and Qwi Xux, mutually breaking up[src]
Wedge: "Tuck that away. Take it out when we have our answer and it will make my reputation as a military wizard."
Wes: "You already have that reputation."
Wedge: "Well, then, I'll have two."
―Wedge Antilles and Wes Janson, as the former hands the latter a flimsi with his correct prediction of Zsinj's plan[src]
Cracken: "The people of Adumar have no respect for career politicians. A very sensible attitude, in my opinion – though if you tell anyone I said that, I'll merely have to deny it. Do you know what sort of individual they hold in highest regard?"
Wedge: "No."
Cracken: "Fighter pilots. The Old Republic had its Jedi; Adumar has its fighter pilots. They love them, a case of hero worship that spans their whole culture. Their entertainments revolve around them. Social promotion, properties, titles, all accompany military promotion in their pilot corps."
Wedge: "That sounds like a reasonable arrangement. Let's implement it in the New Republic."
―Airen Cracken and Wedge Antilles, discussing Adumar[src]
Wedge: "So we send out one squadron an hour or two ahead of each major formation. Pilots skilled at terrain-following flying. They fly beneath the altitude at which lightbounce sensors start to be active and set up in deep cover beneath the projected engagement zone. Because, until they break up to pursue enemies, Cartann squadrons tend to fly in pretty close formations—"
Janson: "So our advance units can fire their missiles up at their squadrons passing overhead. Perhaps taking out multiple fighters per missile in those first few seconds."
Hobbie: "Ooh. I volunteer. I want that. Let me do that. Please."
Wedge: "Have you ever seen behavior like this?"
Tycho: "Only when he really, really needs to run to the refresher. Hobbie, why?"
Hobbie: "Because I am sick of it. I'm sick to death of 'Hello, I'm so-and-so and I've killed this many enemies, and I challenge you, and we bow and go by the rules and say cute things to one another, and isn't it nice that we're all dead now?' Tycho, I want to shoot something. I want to blow something up. No apologies. No advance warning. Just lethal efficiency. Before frustration kills me."
Tycho: "More words than he's strung together at once since I've known him. All right, Hobbie. You'll be in charge of the advance squadron for lead group."
Janson: "I don't think he's entirely sane right now. I'd better stay with him."
―Wedge Antilles, Wes Janson, Derek Klivian, and Tycho Celchu discuss tactics on Adumar[src]
"The lush forests of Krant are beautiful from the cockpit of an X-wing. They stretch on for miles. But it's quite a different thing to be tramping through them on foot. That's why I'm a pilot, lads."
―Wedge Antilles, speaking of the planet Krant[src]
Wedge: "Look at the size of that thing."
Garven: "Cut the chatter, Red Two."
―Wedge Antilles and Garven Dreis, approaching the Death Star in the Battle of Yavin[src]
Hobbie: "Okay, ejection failure. And astromech damage. Crippled here, awaiting manual pickup."
Wedge: "Little busy right now, Hobbie. We'll get to you after we dust these TIEs."
Hobbie: "Take your time. I'm not going anywhere. Except, y'know, thataway. Slowly. Real slowly."
―Derek "Hobbie" Klivian and Wedge Antilles[src]
Lando: "No casualties?"
Wedge: "Nothing serious, General. Hobbie—Lieutenant Klivian—needs another left hand…"
Lando: "How many does that make, all told?"
Wedge: "I've lost count."
―Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles[src]
Tycho: "C'mon, Wedge, this war has helped us develop the skills we'd need to lead a nation."
Wedge: "Tycho, the skills we have developed run strongly toward breaking things."
Tycho: "You have a point there... But, you know, I kinda like breaking things."
―Tycho Celchu and Wedge Antilles[src]
Wedge: "By the way, what do you like to be called? Voort?"
Piggy: "I am content with Voort. But many others call me Piggy. I am content with it, too, for I can ignore the definite derogatory component that goes with it."
Wedge: "The lieutenant and I once knew a very fine human pilot who went by Piggy. There's no 'derogatory component' to it in this squadron. Rather, it's a badge of honor I hope you can live up to."
―Wedge Antilles, comparing Voort "Piggy" saBinring with Jek Porkins[src]
"So you're all now part of Rogue Squadron. What you can expect of the future is this: endless amounts of boredom and routine punctuated by moments of sheer terror. As good as you are, statistical studies of fighter pilots indicate most of you will die in your first five missions. While survivability goes up after that, the odds are still not good that you will live to see the complete destruction of the Empire."
―Wedge Antilles[src]
"The New Republic might promote me and this squadron as immortal and immune to danger, but I know better than that. Two of us, just two, survived Yavin. A half dozen survived Hoth and just four of us lived through Endor. As far as I'm concerned the Death Stars lived up to their names."
―Wedge Antilles keeps the egos of Rogue Squadron in check[src]
Janson: "So, when you joined Starfighter Command, did you have any presentiment that someday you'd be impersonating an Ewok?"
Wedge: "Now the waist."
Janson: "Sure. You know, pretending to be an Ewok is a felony on some worlds."
Wedge: "Wes."
Janson: "And I think it's probably against regulations to fly starfighters while performing a puppet show."
Wedge: "Wes."
Janson: [salutes] "Yub, yub, Commander."
―Wes Janson helps Wedge Antilles into an Ewok disguise[src]
Wedge: "Surplussed out? Our stuff was sold as surplus?"
Tycho: "Broken surplus. It was missing parts."
Wedge: "Such as?"
Tycho: "PL-1s."
Wedge: "PL-1s? I've never heard of them."
Tycho: "That's the designation for pilot."
―Tycho Celchu explains to Wedge Antilles the covert assistance they're receiving from the New Republic in their private campaign against Ysanne Isard[src]
Kell: "Commander, this is Five. Shouldn't we be up there, engaging them, slowing them down so the transports can launch?"
Wedge: "That's a negative, Five."
Kell: "But they're going to arrive and pound their target flat!"
Wedge: "That could well be, Five."
Kell: "Sir, I don't understand."
Wedge: "That's affirmative, Five."
―Kell Tainer tries to discern Wedge Antilles' plan[src]
"I am Wedge Antilles. I survived the Battle of Yavin. I survived the Battle of Hoth. Hell... just a couple of weeks ago I blew up the Death Star during the Battle of Endor. The reason I'm still breathing when a lot of other good rebel pilots aren't? Maybe it's because I'm better. Or maybe I'm just lucky."
―Wedge Antilles, contemplating on his continued survival[src]
Wedge: "Mara, I know this is a lot to ask of a woman with a small baby—"
Mara: "Trust me, my capacity for mayhem is undiminished."
―Wedge Antilles and Mara Jade Skywalker, with a newborn Ben Skywalker[src]
Hobbie: "How come we never have these superweapons that could eliminate a problem like that?"
Wedge: "Because, Hobbie, we rely on pluck, courage, and skill instead of capital expenditure."
Hobbie: "I guess, then, that the rumors of a raise are not true?"
―Derek "Hobbie" Klivian and Wedge Antilles[src]
Wedge: "Here's the truth: I kill the enemy so someone, somewhere—probably someone I've never met and never will meet—will be happy."
Cheriss: "That doesn't make sense."
Wedge: "Yes, it does. I told you how I lost my parents. Nothing I ever do can make up for that loss. But if I put myself in the way of people just as bad as the ones who killed my family, if I burn them down, then someone else they would have hurt gets to stay happy. That's the only honorable thing about my profession. It's not the killing. It's making the galaxy a little better."
―Wedge Antilles and Cheriss ke Hanadi[src]
