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

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.
