I hate to bring up the expanded universe, but for me personally I only think Wedge is so cool in the movies because of how cool he is in the "X-Wing" and "Thrawn" novels...

He doesN'T want to be in Episode VII? Son-of-a... why must these actors hurt with their words?! Can no one appreciate the gravity of having been put in a situation whereby they are considered icons because of this great, epic franchise? Rhetorical question. Thank goodness for Mark, Carrie, Peter, Anthony and Kenny for there unwavering support of and appreciation for being a part of something special. <br /><br />As for Wedge Antilles - through the fault of Denis Lawson - you are now dead to me.

For Lawson, it was a good trio of little jobs for a young actor. Since then, he's had a successful career in the theatre and as a TV actor, and I can see him not being particularly interested in going back to a couple of days basically sitting in a chair and reading lines. <br /><br />It's too bad that he's not interested enough to do a cameo, and that the production apparently isn't interested enough to give him a meatier part this time around. <br /><br />(This is getting me thinking about popping in my DVD of Local Hero, though.) ;^)DEKKA129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-34732691969978813822014-05-12T23:21:08.468+01:002014-05-12T23:21:08.468+01:00How many fan service cameo's do we need.How many fan service cameo's do we need.
