Author	Topic: Why hasn't there been a PREQUEL Wedge?
The Gatherer Title: Manager Emeritus/TF.N Books Staff Registered: Aug '99	Date Posted: 2/13/04 8:39am Subject: Why hasn't there been a PREQUEL Wedge?
	Wedge Antilles, a very, very minor character in the actual original trilogy of Star Wars films, developed into a rich and well developed character, embraced by millions of Star Wars fans worldwide. My question to all Star Wars literature fans: "Why hasn't there been a PREQUEL Wedge?". Many pilots from the Battle of Naboo could have been developed into legendary characters... but they have not. WHY???!!! -----signature----- Co-Author - Timetales http://www.theforce.net/timetales ----------------------------------------------- TFN Books Contributor http://www.theforce.net/books

	Ric Olie is the prequel Wedge. But not many people like Ric Olie. That means that Ric Olie hasn't appeared as often as Wedge. So no one knows that he's supposed to be the prequel Wedge. But he's a pilot too. And a good guy. -----signature----- The Manliest Manly Man on the JC, bar none.

	Maybe because the OT characters are much more interesting?... -----signature----- Ever wonder what happened during the clone wars? Visit: http://www.theclonewarz.net My Blogs: http://www.jeditrilobite.com , http://tk3220.wordpress.com TK-3220, NEG VT Rep

	There are other pilots that are worthy for great tales apart from Ric Olie. In the Battle for Naboo, the interesting pilots were the "White Male", "White Female" and "Black Male"... all to my knowledge, are unnamed. -----signature----- Co-Author - Timetales http://www.theforce.net/timetales ----------------------------------------------- TFN Books Contributor http://www.theforce.net/books

	Quinlan Vos. Had an even smaller part in the film than Wedge, and is just as cool. They tried to do the whole expand-a-cameo thing with Aurra Sing, too, but I don't think she ever really caught on. But they were stuck with her, anyway. -----signature----- "This will be our reply to violence: To make music more intensely, More beautifully, More devotedly than ever before." - Leonard Bernstein

	Bravo Five (Celia Imrie) got herself a short story on sw.com - she's supposed to be the Prequel Wedge, IMHO... but the Prequels are a far more cynical look at the GFFA, so obviously, things are muddier and more muddled... - The Imperial Ewok -----signature----- A/T = OTP :===8[#]8===: Kyp/Jaina fans: stand up and be counted!

	Well, why not have a prequel era wedge story, starring wedge antilles himself? Or would the fact that he's younger than Luke put a damper on that?

	i think most of the Naboo pilots have been named, eventually... Bravo Leader - Ric Olie. Bravo 2 - "white male" = Officer Porro Dolphe Bravo 3 - "Black male" = Lt Arven Wendik Bravo 4 - "White guy with goatee" = Lt Rya Kirsch Bravo 5 - "white female" =Officer Ellberger Bravo fighter, unknown designation - "likes to spin a lot" = ??? There's also this guy in pilot garb, who might not have actually flown... Bravo Pilot -----signature----- Prophet of the Church of Waru. "Jawajames, can I have your girlfriend?

	We've had "Prequel Wedges" in the form of Aalya Secura and Quilan Vos actually. Alpha and the Clone Troopers (well you've seen one Jango you've seen them all) too. Let alone of course Jango himself and his adventures But for Pilots, mostly its because the Jedi are pilots

	Bravo fighter, unknown designation - "likes to spin a lot" = ??? Just for the record: ??? is Anakin Skywalker, or is there another pilot during the battle of Naboo with these attributes? -dm -----signature----- To be a Traitor is not the first step towards Betrayal.

	the Wedge Antilles of the prequels is in fact no one other then .... Sio Bibble , he had a minor role in ep1 and ep2, and survived it, and will return in ep3, and very likely survive it

	If you ask me Wedge is over-rated. I liked him in the films. And he is good in EU. But I don't think we need a Wedge like character in the prequels. -----signature----- Isaac Asimov was an innovative genius All posters are equal but some posters are more equal than others. JOE BIDEN 2012
