However (this critisism is not aimed at you or the edit) the more I watch the ‘Wedge’ shot, the more it annoys me!
On first viewing it was nice to see a familiar face…but as time has gone on his line ‘nice flying Lando’ really starts to irritate…
What is ‘nice flying’ exactly? A few rolls of the Falcon on it’s horizontal axis…in wide open space?
C’mon…we’ve seen that ship impressively navigate through some seriously tight spaces in it’s time, so I’m not sure a basic roll is anything worth gushing over (especially from someone like Wedge who just so happens to be a seasoned fighter pilot?)
That line is a callback to Lando’s first scene, where Rey tells him Leia needs pilots but he refuses saying “My flying days are long gone”.
It’s not hard to assume Wedge also knew Lando had “retired” from piloting a long while ago, so him saying “Nice flying Lando” is more of a “You still got it”. It’s a reminder that Lando hadn’t taken the pilot seat in a long time, and an acknowledgement that he has accepted the call that he refused back on Passana.
