The X-Wing series is a sizable part of the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]. This page covers the comic book series and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130421040127/http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:X-wing_novels novel series], which were produced more or less in that order, although several of the books came out after the main comics series ended and the most recent comic book was in 2005. As the page image says, the character Wedge Antilles and the X-Wing starfighter are the absolute constants. The games, being only vaguely connected, each have [[Rogue Squadron|their]] own [[Star Wars: X-Wing|pages]].
Line 370 ⟶ 372:
* [[Shoot Your Mate]]: In ''Iron Fist''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: There are quite a few to other ''Star Wars'' works and authors. Besides the Zahn references, there is also the ''Requiem'' scenario, which is based off an actual level in the ''[[Star Wars: X-Wing]]'' game.
** Elassar Targon's name references two ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' characters... Elessar is, of course, Aragorn's other name (Elessar being the Wraiths' new medic, Aragorn being a ranger and king with healing skills and powers), and Targon is the [[Genius Bonus|blink-and-you'll-miss-him armorer]] in ''The Return of the King''.
** Possible in Iron Fist. A stormtrooper begins to ask Castin "What's your-- (operating number, presumably)" but Castin just starts blasting his way out straight away.
** The name ''Lusankya'' is inspired by Lubyanka, the infamous KGB prison in which similar activities went on.
