To be honest, I'd be glad if Wedge was not a Jedi. I'm tired of lightsabers, robes and the Force (yes, I know I'm a minority), and of the things the PT desperately lacked was central (or even good supporting) characters who were not Jedi or Sith.
We do not need another such trilogy...
Also, pilots are way cooler than Jedi. Proof?
Han Solo and Wedge Antilles.
