uh ohhhhh someones going for the chebacca defense Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider: this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. That does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee — an eight foot tall Wookiee — want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more importantly, you have to ask yourself: what does that have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me, I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense. And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense. If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests. I say we send it to the PIT!!! 2 lobsters enter 1 lobster leaves!! |

What about Biggs (Darklighter), Red 3? Or Jek (Porkins), Red 6? Not exactly confidence inspiring though, considering both bought it in A New Hope. |

"Who are the 2 slimy little c*#% suckers who just signed their own death warrant".....

Internet drama, the worst of all the different kinds of drama.

You'd think the Colt and Grendel guys would be all over this. To them, if you have an idea it is yours forever, even if you no legally enforceable claim.

A survivor if ever there was one, Wedge Antilles has lived through some of the Rebellion's most important battles against the Empire.
The young Corellian served as Red Two during the Battle of Yavin, and flew as Luke Skywalker's wingman during the final approach on the Death Star's thermal exhaust port. When Wedge sustained damage to his fighter, he had to pull out and leave the battle. Three years later, Wedge flew as part of Rogue Group during the Battle of Hoth. He and his gunner Janson perfected a daring maneuver wherein a snowspeeder used its harpoon and tow-cable to trip up the legs of the attacking Imperial walker. During the climactic Battle of Endor, Wedge, as Red Leader, spearheaded the Alliance starfighter attack into the heart of the uncompleted Death Star. |

Now, that's just plain funny! TRG |

Wedge, a Corellian, was born and raised in outer Gus Treta, a fueling depot and spaceport owned and operated by his parents, Jagged and Zena. His parents died in an accident that destroyed much of Gus Treta. A craft with suspected criminals attempted to flee authorities without detaching its mooring clamps. Although the resulting damage destroyed his home, Wedge inherited enough credits through insurance that he was able to purchase his first stock light freighter. He was not very successful as a smuggler or a gunrunner, so he instead joined the Rebellion.
After the Battle of Yavin, Wedge stayed with the core Alliance High Command group, taking on varying roles. When Commander Narra began forming Rogue Group -- which would later evolve into the modern Rogue Squadron -- Wedge was one of the original members. After Rogue Group's performance during the Battle of Hoth, Antilles reorganized the elite fighter pilot group and was promoted to Commander, or Rogue Leader. The squadron was assigned to the Headquarters Frigate, Home One. During the Battle of Endor, Rogue Squadron flew as Red Group, in homage to the original X-wing squadron that flew over the the first Death Star. Although Antilles was allowed the opportunity to equip his squadron with newer A-wings and B-wings, he stayed with the traditional X-wing starfighters. Following the Battles of Endor and Bakura, Wedge's missions became increasingly political. Rogue Squadron had become famous throughout the galaxy, and this elite starfighter group spearheaded missions into the heart of Imperial territory, liberating worlds and bringing more systems into the growing New Republic. After the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn at Bilbringi, Antilles accepted the rank of general under the provision that he could still lead the Rogues. Although a capable tactician, both he and General Lando Calrissian suffered heavy losses in the war against the reborn Emperor. The cloned Emperor's onslaught of new and advanced weaponry caused the New Republic military to reassess their fighting forces. Rogue Squadron was restructured around several different starfighter designs to allow for greater flexibility in combat. This was but one of many difficult bureaucratic decisions that Wedge had to face while in command. Following the resurrected Emperor's campaign of terror, Wedge was pressed into relief duties on Coruscant. He oversaw clean-up operations in the shattered metropolis, though he longed to get back behind the controls of a starship. To that end, he flew relief shuttles to suffering worlds, and acted as bodyguard to the former Imperial scientist Qui Xux. Although Wedge and Xux did share close moments together, his heart ultimately belonged to Iella Wessiri, former member of CorSec. During a diplomatic mission to Adumar, the two expressed their feelings for one another. They are now married with children. Wedge Antilles retired from Rogue Squadron when peace between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant was achieved. Now, as the galaxy faces the Yuuzhan Vong menace, Antilles serves as an advisor to the new Rogue Leader, Gavin Darklighter. |

Actor Denis Lawson -- who is Ewan McGregor's real-life uncle -- played Wedge Antilles in the classic trilogy.
Although the script identifies him as Wedge Antilles, and the voiceover is the same, that is not Lawson sitting beside Mark Hamill during the Yavin briefing. Lawson was unavailable that day for shooting and another actor filled in. This has led to fans identifying that particular Wedge as the "fake Wedge," although it is intended as the same character. Lawson's name is misspelled "Dennis" in the credits to A New Hope. http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/wedgeantilles/?id=bts |

Nerd Alert. TRG |

Wedge,
Add the "It's a trap!" caption to that pic and it will be 10x as funny. Don't forget to also do the "I have decided this thread is NOT a trap" pic. |

Now my life story is all over the internet. |

Based on this testimony..... I vote for Dog1. |
||
|
Holy CRAP! If that guy had his hand coated in KY Jelly instead of mustard, I would personally set a new land-speed record getting outta Dodge! |
|
|
I voted for Dog1 as well, I thought the other choice was a trap. TRG |
|||
|
I always preferred this one: And for those of you wondering where Ackbar is these days.... |
|
|
I am now representing DOG1 |

|
I say neither one of you have rights to it. I've found that "It's a trap" pic on several places throughout the net.
So nyeah. |
|
There is no trap. I don't know who told you that. The imperial storm troopers are NOT in bagdad. We are engaing the enemy outside the city walls and are slaughtering the infidels. Saddam is not lukes father. He is however his cousin twice removed on his mothers side. |

Geekiest ... Thread ... Ever ... and this comes from the guy with the anime avatar... |
|
wasn't Wedge Rogue Leader in ROTJ?
and I think that actor is the uncle of the actor playing obi wan in the prequels |
|
|
|
PFTT . I call . You know far to much about Star Wars to have girl friends , much less a Mrs. Wedge . |
||
|
You had "AGGGHHHHHH!!!!!" as you would get shot and fall. Plus you had "What was that?" when Obi distracted you with the force after he turned off the Death Star tractor beam. |
|

I have never let my love of Star Wars affect my social life. Not only is there a Mrs. Wedge, but there is a little Ms. Wedge as well. I am living proof that a man can have his Star Wars and eat it too. And if Dog1 does not relent, he could find himself staring into the eyes of cold steel that are posted here.www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=75&t=269407 |

I don't claim rights to be the only one to post Ackbar. As said before I enjoy seeing others trump me with Ackbar. I just think there is something different about taking him and using him as an avatar. It would be like if someone went and used Sarge's movies as their avatar and forum title somehow. Now this is not to say that Ackbar is comparable to the genius of Sarge's movies. Sarge is after all one of the great movie makers of our time. |

Maybe Chewbacca wanted to make his own race?"Eookies"or "Weboks", never can tell what those wookies are thinking. Well except for Han Solo. Take care. Coondog

"There's one! Set for stun!" "The Death Star plans are not in the main computer!" "What was that?" "It's nothing." "Do you know what is going on?" "It must be some kind of drill." "Stop that ship!" "Blast 'em!" "Which way did they go" "How long have you had these droids?" "These aren't the droids we're looking for." "You can go about your business." "Move along, move along." ("All this excitement has overrun the circuits in my counterpart here, I'd like to take him down to maintenance.") "All right" "We think they may be splitting up, they may be on both levels 5 and 6 now..." These are a few Stormtrooper lines right off the top of my head. |
