Cinema has a unique ability to capture the intensity of mid-air dog fights, however very few films have come close to capturing the magic of George Lucas epic interstellar space battles.

Simon PeggÂ’s favourite moment from the franchise involves Wedge saving Luke SkywalkerÂ’s bacon by shooting down a TIE Fighter that Luke had been unable to shake.

Without Wedge there would be no Skywalker, therefore there would be no sequel, no prequel and no hope.
