10 Major Star Wars Characters Who Didn’t Really Do Anything

By Chris Peet /

5. Wedge Antilles

Amazingly, Wedge Antilles is one of the most highly regarded characters in the Star Wars galaxy having been voted 24th in a greatest of all time list by IGN. This is as baffling as it is idiotic. Let€™s sum him up in a few sentences: he shoots down a few TIE Fighters; survives two attack runs on the Death Star, and helps Luke out again by bringing down a couple of AT-AT walkers in the snow. Well, congratulations Wedge. Congratulations on doing your job. That€™s basically what you€™re getting paid for. If you didn€™t do that you€™d be sacked. Or killed. And don€™t expect people to roll out the red carpet because you€™re in all three films. What, you think because you€™re Obi Wan Kenobi€™s uncle in real life it affords you special treatment? Get back in your hole. By all means celebrate at the teddy bear€™s picnic at the end of Return of the Jedi but don€™t get above your station, sunshine.
