In Popular Culture
Wedge is a popular and important character of the original Star Wars trilogy despite his brief screen time. IGN named Wedge the 24th greatest Star Wars character of all time, claiming "Wedge Antilles may be the most important ancillary character in the Star Wars universe".
Wedge (almost always alongside another Red Squadron wingman, Biggs Darklighter) is a recurring character and a running gag in the Final Fantasy video game series (for example, Final Fantasy 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 and even games outside of the Final Fantasy Universe (but made by the same company, Squaresoft) such as Chrono Trigger and Kingdom Hearts II). The worlds and characters of Final Fantasy are different in almost every game, and so there are many versions of Biggs and Wedge as Final Fantasy characters.
