X-Wing Rogue Squadron/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The "Lieutenant Kettch" prank in "Solo Command", where Wes ends up naked holding a stuffed Ewok in front of his jewels in front of the entire squadron, is a shining example, the culmination of an escalating prank war. The kicker? WEDGE PLANNED IT. As revenge. Wes has the talent and the will... Wedge has the resources.
    • The Lieutenant Kettch joke became a Brick Joke at the end of the seventh book, when Lara, or Gara depending on her mental state, FOUND an actual Ewok who had been genetically modified and trained to become a pilot.
      • Her first, stressed-out reaction is to shout that she's heard this one already. She then explains to the uncomprehending Ewok that "we're both lies that became the truth."
  • From "Starfighters of Adumar": Hobbie's reference to the "Refresher Course".
    • Another from "Starfighters". "Very well. I'm not going to put us in women's clothing."
  • Wedge and Han's "mutiny" on board the Mon Remonda.
  • Frankly, "Starfighters of Adumar," the whole damn book.
  • Wedge's quip at the beginning of Starfighters where he tells a general that "If you continue to map the Unknown Regions, you'll have to call them something else."
  • Whenever a new quirk of Ooryl's Bizarre Alien Biology pops up, such as the fact that he can store sleep for times when he has to stay awake, or the fact that he only has to breathe when he speaks.
  • The reaction when Ooryl announces that he finds Corran's snoring to be soothing.
