    • He repeats the Wedge haiku from a previous appearance.
    • Ring Theory: having different actors do the body and voice of Wedge.
  • The versions of the screenplay where Lando and the Falcon don't escape the Death Star explosion. In the version that made it to film, the victory is too easy and nothing is really sacrificed. It's exciting but there's no danger.
    • This could have been the opportunity for Lando's atonement.
    • Mentioned: the trope of the black dude being the one to die first.
  • Han and Lando's friendship and the damage that was done when Lando betrayed him.

  • Sorry, Tim, a young Wedge is featured in the Star Wars Rebels cartoon.
  • Vader's volcano fortress will appear in Rogue One.
