X-Wing Rogue Squadron: Difference between revisions

Line 161:

* [[Fake Static]]: A variant. When Wedge attempts to recall members of Wraith Squadron during a major battle, they claim his signal's breaking up as static comes through on the radio. Wedge recognizes the old trick of rubbing one's gloves over the microphone, since he's done it himself a few times.

* [[Faking the Dead]]

* [[Fan Service]]: Two kinds in {{media|wedge_for_prez.jpg| this}} from the comics: [[Shirtless Scene|half-naked attractive pilots]], and referencing a large usenet group's "Vote Wedge/Tycho For President" meme. Otherwise, the comics tended to avert the large breasts and the skintight clothing and ridiculous poses which generally come with it.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Imperials don't tend to regard nonhumans highly. This becomes a major plot point in the first four, where an alien resistance cell on Coruscant decides it hates the human members of the Rogues, and in the three after, where one of Zsinj's plans involves using [[Manchurian Agent|Manchurian Agents]] to encourage mistrust between the human and nonhuman members of the New Republic.

** One of the members of the resistance was [[Interspecies Romance|Asyr Sei'lar]], and she decides to kill her future boyfriend as a speciesist because he won't stop plotting in order to dance with her. Misjudged a little there, Asyr.
