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.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To assault the total culture totally is to be free to use all the fruits of mankind’s wisdom and experience without the rotten structure in which these glories are encased and encrusted.”
—Judith Malina (b. 1926)
