Along with Lando Calrissian, who pilots the Millennium Falcon with Nien Nunb, he leads the fighter attack on the second Death Star. Wedge appears towards the end of Return of the Jedi as the leader of Red Squadron in the Battle of Endor. After the battle, Wedge is seen and heard wishing Luke a safe trip. Their snowspeeder inflicts the first casualty against the AT-AT attack group by firing a harpoon trailing a tow cable into one of the walker's legs and circling the walker several times, causing it to trip and fall and allowing Rebel forces to destroy the walker. He flies a snowspeeder under the callsign "Rogue Three" against the Empire's AT-AT ground assault with Wes Janson as his harpoon gunner.
Wedge appears in The Empire Strikes Back as a member of the newly formed Rogue Squadron. He and Luke are the only two X-Wing pilots to survive the battle, along with a Y-wing and the Millennium Falcon. However, his X-wing is damaged, and he is forced to disengage before the Death Star is destroyed. Along with Luke and Biggs Darklighter, he is one of only three X-wing pilots to survive until the final attack runs along the Death Star's trench.
His considerable dogfighting prowess is shown in the Battle of Yavin when he saves Luke Skywalker by shooting down a TIE fighter that Luke had been unable to shake off with a head-on, high deflection angle shot. Wedge appears towards the end of Star Wars as "Red Two", an X-wing pilot and a member of Red Squadron. Coincidentally, Denis Lawson is the maternal uncle of Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel trilogy. Ankrum reprised his role as the voice of Wedge in Rogue One. Lawson used his own voice in these films, masking his natural Scottish accent with an imitation of an American accent. Lawson also portrays Antilles in The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. Denis Lawson plays the character for the remaining scenes filmed in the X-wing cockpit. In this scene Wedge is portrayed by Colin Higgins and voiced by David Ankrum, who dubs the character throughout the film. Wedge first appears in Star Wars during the Rebels' Death Star attack briefing. Wedge is notable for having participated in more starfighter battles ending with decisive victories than any other character: he led the allied assault during the Battle of Exegol he piloted a snowspeeder in the defense of Echo Base on Hoth and is the only Rebel starfighter pilot to have survived both attack runs on the Death Stars at the battles of Yavin and Endor. His superior piloting skills, in-depth knowledge of Imperial military doctrine, and tactical leadership quickly propelled him though the ranks to become Marshal of the Alliance Starfighter Corps. Antilles founded Rogue Squadron with his friend Luke Skywalker. Before defecting to the Rebel Alliance, Antilles was an Imperial cadet (callsign: TIE SS25 ) of the Skystrike Academy.
