Description
A rather cheesy (okay, very) tribute to my favourite pilots from the Star Wars galaxy. You'll have to read the Wraith Squadron books to understand why Wes Janson is holding a stuffed Ewok, I'm afraid. (That's a tribute to Aaron Allston). I don't know exactly how Tycho's blaster transformed into a mug of caf, but it might have something to do with Alderaanian influence, LOL.Clothes based on threads the late Edvin Biukovic designed for the X-Wing Rogue Squadron comics, and pretty much remained consistent throughout the X-Wing series.
Star Wars property of George Lucas. X-Wing Rogue Squadron property of Michael Stackpole. Red Flight property of Aaron Allston.

I love how they interact with each other even though they're in their own boxes.

Including Kettch, that'd be your favourite 'five' pilots then, wouldn't it?
Great pic

Thank you very much!
And it's good to meet you too. I have met *very* few Wraith Squadron fans here at dA!

Hot chocolate! ROFL! Dang, I'd forgotten all about that scene until you reminded me. Ayuh, Tycho seems too cultured to indulge in caf.

This is my favorite of the Rogues. I think its because Wedge has his eyebrow up like 'what the heck is Wes doing now?', Hobbie looks like he's trying to get Wes to 'lay off' while at the same time begging Wedge for intervention. Wes, of course, looks like he's planning something evil. And Tycho looks like he's just going to put his foot up, sit back, drink some caf, and enjoy the show. It's just perfect!
I kinda have this as my desktop. I'm new to this whole thing so, if you don't want me to do that I'll remove it. I have no idea the legal issues. But if you make me remove it, then you have to give me something else.

Nah, I'm fine with people using my stuff for personal purposes (I've a couple of friends who've printed my art out to pin up or to show others), so long as said artwork doesn't get spam-circulated, or the people profit from it. (like, ha). So feel free to wallpaper my stuff.
(And be careful what you ask for. You might well get, like, a mating pair of zombie gizkas on your doorstep. They eat brains while you sleep, you know).
And thanks very much. What I like best about the Allston books is the comedic interaction between the characters. The best of which was that ghastly Kettch episode.

Wow. That's fantastic! (And something that's with Rouge Squadron/Red Flight characters! I you for that!)
And Wes with Kettch... gold. Just gold, that is.
Glad to see that someone appreciates the "minor characters" of Star Wars. And non-Jedi ones too!

DarthFar In reply to DaydreamQueenMisha [2006-12-14 13:27:20 +0000 UTC]
Thank you very much. I've always had a soft spot for the under-appreciated pilots in Star Wars (I've always rooted for Wedge more than Luke); it's great to meet someone who feels the same!

DaydreamQueenMisha In reply to DarthFar [2006-12-15 00:31:38 +0000 UTC]
I know what you mean (although, I still like Luke, I just like Wedge a whole lot more )
Pilots in general are teh coolness in SW, as far as I'm concerned at least.
I wish they'd do more of the X-Wing Series rather than bloody Legacy of the Force... *mutters unhappily*

DarthFar In reply to DaydreamQueenMisha [2006-12-15 11:09:51 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I've always preferred pilots over Jedi (not that there's anything wrong with the latter). I guess it has something to do with 'ordinary people who do less-ordinary stuff'. Meh, I wanted to be a space jockey back while I was growing up, haha.
More X-Wing books = Good. Which was why I went absolutely bonkers over the new Rogue Leader comics.

*grins* Imagine my delight when, on a search for Wes Janson, this wonderful piece of art pops up!!
All four of my all-time-fave pilots in one picture! I swear I've died and gone to heaven! *glomps Wes and Kettch*

Thanks very much! I'm in the middle of a new series of Red Flight portraits (the Tycho one's already up) that includes Janson, so you *might* see it the next time you do a search.

LOL You identified Kettch! I thought he (or at least, events involving him) was Absolutely The Funniest Thing in the entire X-Wing (book) series. Wedge's revenge upon Wes was absolutely priceless.

Lol, exactly. Wraiths and Strarfighters of Adumar are the best.

DarthFar In reply to vinree [2006-04-03 09:40:32 +0000 UTC]
Starfighters of Adumar . That has to be the funniest book in the series, with some of the funniest bits (although I still say the Nobrin brothers bit in Wraith Squadron is by far the most ridiculously hilarious... oyah, oyah).
"You know, whenever the name of Derek "Hobbie" Klivian comes up, the words 'It's worse than that' ring in my ears."
- Wes Janson.
"We have the right tools to subvert our Imperial admiral."
"What tools?"
"Oh, Wes's maturity, your optimism, and my diplomatic skills."
"We're doomed."
- Wedge & Hobbie

My fave is the scene from Adumar when Wegde and Wes leave Iella's quarters.
"Sithspit! What's that?"
"That's the sun, Wedge. It's after dawn."
"Well, it offends me. Turn it off."
"It's a hundred thirty, hunderd forty million klicks from here."
"Go up in your X-wing and shoot it down for me."
