Bah. Wedge Antilles is the true hero of the Rebellion anyways.

A New Hope: Luke is about to get blown out of the sky over the Death Star - Wedge swoops in and saves his bacon (instead of his wingman, Biggs). In the trench, Wedge takes the hit for Luke, buying him enough time to get the key shot off.

The Empire Strikes Back: The Alliance needs time to escape Hoth. Luke has the big idea to use the harpoons on the legs of the advancing AT-ATs. Does Luke ever pull off this feat? NO. Luke gets his gunner killed. Wedge Antilles harpoons the lead AT-AT thereby buying the Alliance enough time to escape Hoth.

The Return of the Jedi: Luke lies on the floor whimpering, “Faaaaaaaaaather... heeeeeeeeelp...” Luke has little to no affect on whether or not the second Death Star will be destroyed. Meanwhile, Wedge Antilles and Lando Calrissian make a daring run into the bowels of the Death Star where WEDGE bravely takes out the power regulator on the north tower, thus ensuring the destruction of the Death Star regardless of Luke’s whiney bullcrap.

Case closed. Wedge = awesome. Luke = pansy.
