This Clip From The Next Episode Of STAR WARS REBELS Introduces A Young Wedge Antilles
The third season of Star Wars Rebels continues this Saturday, and this clip features the debut of another character from the original trilogy. Discover the new origin of Wedge Antilles after the jump...
On the next episode of Disney XD's Star Wars Rebels, Sabine goes undercover to liberate a bunch of Imperial pilots who have begun to feel disillusioned with The Empire's tactics - and as it turns out, one of 'em is Wedge Antilles.
This character was one of the Rebel pilots who attacked the first Death Star in A New Hope, and although he only had a very small role in the original trilogy, he was given much more to do in the Expanded Universe. However, it appears he's going to be given a very different origin story for this new canon.
Check out the clip and some official images from "The Antilles Extraction" below.
Sabine goes undercover as a cadet in the Empire’s elite flight academy to help break out several young pilots wanting to defect to the rebellion.
