Title: Wedge's Hypothetical Death (Split from Revelation thread)

'Tis fun

What I really want them to do is kill off Wedge. I really like him, but I think it would be fitting if he died in a blaze of glory defending his home or family from Jacen.

As in, he pwns anyone he is fighting at unbelievable odds (for anyone else) and knocks out like 2 RSDs. That would be awesome.

or he takes out like a super weapon they introduce into the new book. maybe it could be a black hole generator that is based off of examining dovin basils.

I think Wedge would be killed. He has no purpose to be anymore. and it would be nice plot twister. but if they continue to kill major characters at this rate a book or two and none of them are alive anymore.

maybe wedge retires or something that is also a possibility.

Didnt he already retire? Twice?

Although, i would like to see a character live to die a natural death.

Meaningful deaths are more poetic, and Akbar also died of old age........

He's a fighter, I can't see him dieing any other way.

meh if i wrote the books i'd want to give a war ravaged person like wedge a peaceful ending.

I don't. He should die in the cockpit of an X-wing. Fighting a superior enemy and meeting a better pilot and killed. the end.

A better pilot that Wedge Antilles? The way the canon has evolved, there isnt a better pilot than Wedge.. Except perhaps for some Jedi, most of whom are on his side.

and Fels and Han. but they also are on his side. well maybe some new hotshot pilot.

I think the only character in a position to fight and kill Wedge in a suitable starfighter dogfight is Jacen.  But i cant think of any conceivable situation where Wedge would be face to face with Jacen like that - Since Jacen is unlikely to be bothered by anyone less than a Jedi Master, or his former family.

Jacen ain't that good pilot that he could kill Wedge even with the help of force.

what about over welming odds. he is pulled out of hyperspace by an interdictor to find a massive imperial fleet jump him and he takes out like 2 sd's and tons of ties with him

(this is annoying having to repost this 'cause of the split, but what ever)
And what "Imperial Fleet"? It's still the GA (for now *thinks of previous posts in revelations topic*)

The Imperial Remnant was one entity in the Galactic Alliance (it entered as a whole rather than as individual systems), wasnt it?  So the "Imperial Fleet" is the Imperial Remnant's defence force.  However, i doubt it would be "huge".

Ah, but the Empire was about to fight AGAINST Jacen. Why the hell would they attack Wedge?
Title: Re: Wedge's Hypothetical Death (Split from Revelation thread)
Post by: Slornie on February 27, 2008, 07:09:25 PM
Well, [spoiler]apparently the Moffs decide to turn and fight with Jacen, seeing him as a potential new Emperor[/spoiler].  Which would change things considerably.

EDIT:  Damn, didnt realise spoiler tags dont work here.

That would change things quite a bit. Wow, I had thought Wedge was safe from Imperial Ties, but it looks like that will change......

how big is the imperial remnant defense fleet?
Title: Re: Wedge's Hypothetical Death (Split from Revelation thread)
Post by: Meyer on February 28, 2008, 12:31:01 AM
big. but it has been split apart. to those who support moffs and to those who support Daala.

ah i see so if it were combined it would have a reasonable amount of firepower.

Wait, have you read the book?
