Wedge Antilles in the movies always bothered me as a kid when I first saw the movies, because it always seemed like I was missing something about him. I mean, he's portrayed as kind of a big deal and keeps coming up, IIRC, but he has almost no character development.

He always seemed like someone who was supposed to be a major character, had all his important scenes removed, but was left in as a bizarre floating reference with no backstory and no real conclusion in the movie.
