Tribute to Nien Nunb and other Star Wars Bit Parts

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-laugh-at dept.

Nien Nunb writes "This Star Wars feature tries to give the little guys a leg up, like the aforementioned Nien Nunb, who only shows up for one action sequence, but he was copilot of the ship that destroyed the second Death Star. Star Wars is full of forgotten faces like his and you can see all their wretchedness here."

    In the novelization of "Star Wars", this character is actually written as "THX-1138", a tip of the hat to Lucas' prior film. Instead the number "1138" shows up as "prisoner transfer from cell block 1138", a few minutes later.

    Wedge is my favorite character. In all three movies he saves everyone else's bacon just by being the best damn pilot the Alliance has. For example, in Ep4-ANH Luke has a tie fighter on his tail in the final attack and Wedge comes at them head-on gets off an amazing shot at the last second and flies through the TIE fighter debris cloud- all without any "yee-haw" or "hoo-WEE" noises. Just a quiet, confident dude in glasses who could fly like nobody's business.
