I'd say by this time, Wedge would be a high commander in whatever they have going on (wouldn't still be the rebellion, would it?), and they could probably give him a pretty significant role.


IIRC in the EU he became an admiral and commanded one of the new republic fleets. So yeah, he moved on from Rogue Squadron. I believe RS was still attached the the fleet he commanded.

I could be way off with all this, it's been like 15+ years since I read those books.

You aren't.

Zahn featured Wedge alot in the Thrawn trilogy, and the fans really responded. Wedge became a pretty major character in the EU.

I mean, for a guy that survived Death Star I, Hoth, Death Star II, plus all the other engagements in between, he's gotta be a hell of a pilot.

I know, I'm a nerd.
