Wedge’s Gamble


"You think I'm egotistical?"
"Wedge, I love you like a brother, so it hurts me to say this, but you're so egotistical you think you can keep your ego under control. Most of the time you do, which is your only saving grace. And the times you don't, well, I've not been on the receiving end of a display, but I imagine there are some Imps who would regret that experience, if they were alive to think about it."
Wedge & Mirax (WG)


"Mirax has threatened to give you speeder bike lessons. First rule, she says, is stay away from buildings."
Iella Wesseri to Corran (WG)


"Gavin, are you trying to tell me you don't know how to kiss a girl?"
"Ancorhead may have been small but not that small."
"Kin don't count."
Corran & Gavin (WG)


"I have all the children I need in my squadron."
Wedge (WG)


"Should it concern me, sir, that the head of Alliance Intelligence has just told me that his son will find his time in my unit challenging?"
"Oh, I should think so, Commander Antilles. Very much so, indeed."
Wedge & Cracken (WG)


"Your kind makes me sick."
"As does your kind, which it why I’m with him [Nawara]."
Stormtrooper & Rysathi (WG)


"For some people discipline is a lesson. For others, it is a lifetime."
Flirry Vorru (WG)


"Do you hear that, son? Even stormtroopers are becoming so undisciplined that you could join them."
"Son? Is he your boy?"
"Takes after his mother."
Wedge & Tech (about Gavin) (WG)


"My father was smarter than you were. He still is."
"He’s dead."
"My point stands."
Corran & Thyne (WG)


"To your battle stations, men! The enemy is upon us!"
"Begging your pardon, sir, but a mirror doesn’t have battle stations."
Lt. Needa & Pedetsen (WG)


"He’s a Rogue and we take care of our own. No matter the circumstances, no matter the situation, we take care of our own."
Wedge (WG)


"The pity is, even in victory, justice still eludes those who deserve it most."
Wedge (WG)
