I thought you'd been captured by the Imps or vaped, Luke. Everything was a farkled mess after Hoth. [The dark-haired pilot said with a deadly serious look on his face. Wedge had always taken the deaths of their squad-mates hard.
Pilots, especially Red Squadron pilots didn't have a very long life expectancy and Wedge had lost more than his fair share of friends throughout the course of the war. It went without saying that survivor's guilt was a heavy weight that rested on the Corellian's shoulders.]
I’d prefer there wasn’t a ‘next time’, boss. [Wedge was hardly the most physically intimidating person but he’d perfected the sort of penetrating look that could freeze a man’s blood and currently, Luke found himself on the receiving end of that look.] Still, I get it, it's can't be easy being a Jedi and I figure by now I outta trust your instincts. But a little heads up next time would be nice.
[He smiled wryly and tried to convey without words that he accepted the apology all the same. Wedge could hold a grudge with the best of them but he'd also learned a long time ago that wasting time being angry with those you cared about was pointless and could just end up biting you in the ass in the end. Especially in places like the Rebellion where any man, woman or alien might not live to see the next day. Just hearing Vader's name coming from Luke's mouth had the older man going still and all traces of humor left his face.]
Rumor mill said Leia and Solo ran afoul of Vader but no one's saying what really went down. But I don't think Chewie has left the Falcon since she docked with Home One and no one has seen hide nor hair of Solo.
