That does make more sense, but I think something along the lines of "I'm loosing speed!" or "I'm hit! I can't keep up!" would have alleviated any doubt in Wedge's honor.
although you have to admit that Biggs had to have "jumped ship" pretty quickly to be there by the time Luke arrives
Yeah, considering that Luke shows up 5 days later since he last saw his best friend. I bet Biggs was thinking "Damn, that kid works fast. Wait, why are you here?... Oh, dude. I'm so sorry."
