I'd like to see Denis Lawson return as Wedge, as an elder Jedi along with Luke. He didn't get enough credit in SW and ESB.

How the hell is Wedge a Jedi?

He isn't one during the OT, but given his valiant and effective piloting, could he not become one?

I don't think of the Jedi as they are portrayed in the PT. I think of them as the Jedi Knights as they are described by Obiwan in Star Wars - great fighters in tune with the good side of the force. Knights in the classic sense. And by that description, Wedge strikes me as someone ideally suited to becoming one.

Unfortunately, since the PT pooped all over how I envisioned the Jedi (based on the OT), I suppose Wedge couldn't ever be a Jedi. He didn't get picked as a Youngling based on his midichlorians, and end up in a monastery with wierd rules and Yoda hovering a ball over his head when he was 3 years old.
