May favourite bit is 5:36, where Ackbar thinks "Ding! Why don't we just use suicide bombers?" before his neck falls over like the Elephant Man.

But everything is better with Akbar.

Need I bring up the best line from the only other Black guy in the whole trilogy?


SHE"S GONNA BLOW!!!!!!!11!!

Pretty much. Wedge Antilles also gave us Rogue Squadron, and was the first one to pull off that harpoon/cable AT-AT tripping stunt.

He's the most badass sub-character to survive the whole trilogy.

Wedge is really the ONLY sub-character to survive the whole trilogy.

-1 because the destruction of the Executor is hands down the WORST fucking special effect in the entire damn franchise. sweet fucking jesus, could the flame jets on the set surface be any more obvious? And when did they get that close to the Death Star?

Considering the three movies since this have had the worst child actor, the worst adult actor and the worst dialog, I can forgive one dodgy special effect.

Watching this again made me pay attention to Wedge, and yeah - that motherfucker is a cool headed OPERATOR.

Seriously. Wedge is a fucking pimp.

Seriously, even BOBA MOTHERFUCKING FETT didn't (well, canon) kind of last as long as Wedge.

I wonder what ever happened to IG-88, the robo-bountyhunter.

I popped a cap in that motherfucker on my N64.

I don't know. I thought the opening battle from Episode III was the most impressive of the entire series. The buzz droids had to come and ruin everything though.

I still get a little sad for Arvyl Crynyl, the A-Wing pilot who kamikaze'd the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer. Then I clap when the sacrifice leads to that huge fucker plummeting like an arrowhead into the D-Star 2.

I feel bad that Admiral Piett died, I don't know why but I always got the feeling that he actually wanted to be a good guy and hoped would defect like Crix Madine.

Holy fucking beard

You wanna talk Beard? Star Wars Space-Fighter Handbook or whatever says this is the first time the TIE Interceptor was deployed in a massive Dog-Fight Furball. You can see the TIE Interceptor because of the Darth Vader-style Semi-Octogon wing shape from the front, and the slitted double-edged upper and lower segments.

Twin Ion Engine for the ... oh... lose.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Hey!

Fuck you!

(I'm helping!!)

Yeah, that was the biggest disappointment about this whole thing for me. I wanted to find out what the B-Wing fighter *did* other than look goofy. IIRC, they don't even call it a B-Wing in the movie. You had to wait for Kenner to break the news between commercials on a Saturday morning.

Who doesn't, seriously?

Seriously. Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, fuck those four; one's got daddy issues and a sister who kisses him just to make a point, one's a mercenary getting his mack on with a princess who has fucking Paul Maud'dib for a brother, one was tortured for information by a tag-team of her biological father and a truth-serum-equipped interrogation droid-ball, AND had her adoptive planet blown the fuck up, and that other guy is a wookie.

Meanwhile, fucking WEDGE is off taking care of the business Diplomat Akbar wouldn't dirty his flippers with and those Main Stars Of The Show cocksuckers couldn't be bothered with, putting the stomp down on Grand Admiral Thrawn and generally jetting around fighting legit threats, all quitting the New Republic and straight earning the name Rogue Squadron.

He'll always be Red Leader to me though. <3
