->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/PaulSunHyungLee
->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheMandalorian'' | ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'' | ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}''

A New Republic X-Wing pilot running patrol in the Outer Rim.

* BigDamnHeroes: He and Trapper Wolf show up in time to save Mando, the Child and Frog Lady from being swarmed by knobby white ice spiders.
* BreakoutCharacter: Slowly but surely gets more appearances as time goes on, and even becomes part of the supporting cast of ''Ahsoka''.
* CassandraTruth: He's one of the few people in the New Republic who still sees the Imperial Remnant as a threat. As we all know, they eventually grow into the First Order.
* FriendOnTheForce:
** Slowly becoming one to Din Djarin as of Season 3 of ''The Mandalorian''. After failing to convince his superiors to help Navarro, Captain Teva immediately seeks out the Mandalorians instead.
** Din Djarin then approaches Carson with an offer to help hunt down Imperial remnant. Carson claims that it would be against regulations, but Din knows that he thinks it a good idea.
* {{Leitmotif}}: In many of his appearances, [[{{Foreshadowing}} possibly as a hint of what awaits him in the future]], he is accompanied not by music associated with the Rebellion or the New Republic, but by a slow rendition of [[Film/TheForceAwakens the March of the Resistance]].
* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Shows up any time the New Republic needs a face in ''The Mandalorian''. Whether it's following up on a prison escape, performing traffic stops, responding to pirate activity, recruiting Cara Dune, he and his X-Wing will be there.
* MauveShirt: He's a recurring New Republic pilot with a more significant role than the rest of his squadron. He's one of the only Republic soldiers to appear in both ''The Mandalorian'' and ''The Book of Boba Fett''.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He's likely the one who recruited Cara Dune to leave Nevarro. While it was with good intentions, it leaves Nevarro without a marshal making them easier prey for Gorian Shard's gang.
* NoSympathy: At least around Elias Kane, whose backstory he doesn't buy and points out that she didn't defect, she became a convert after being captured.
* OldSoldier: He has been with the Rebellion since before Alderaan and is now one of a handful of patrol officers in the Rim around Nevarro.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
** On running the ''Razor Crest'''s tags he discovers that there's an arrest warrant for the Mando. After reviewing details about the incident, and learning that Mando tried to save a New Republic Lieutenant, he decides to be lenient and lets Mando go on the condition that he fixes the inoperative tracking beacon on the ''Razor Crest''.
--->'''Mando:''' Am I under arrest?\\
'''Carson:''' Technically, you should be. But these are trying times.
** In "The Siege" he offers Cara Dune a position as official marshal of Nevarro, rather than turn her in for deserting the New Republic, as he believes the only way to deal with the Imperial Remnants in the Outer Rim is with the support of the local communities.
** When he runs into Din during ''The Book of Boba Fett'' he once again decides not to press charges against him for flying his new ship too close to a commercial starliner.
** When Greef Karga petitions him for aid against some pirates that invade Nevarro in ''The Mandalorian'''s third season, he shoots his shot with the New Republic as thoroughly as possible before deciding to seek out the Children of the Watch instead.
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: When Mando tries to tactfully bribe him with the bounties of the three convicts he imprisoned in episode 6, he flatly turns him down.
* SpottingTheThread: He catches onto Elias Kane's passive-aggressive prodding of his superior to not send aid to Nevarro, accurately calling her out for still thinking like an Imperial. He doesn't outright say as much, but it's obvious he strongly suspects where her loyalties still actually lie.
* TokenGoodCop: He seems to be the only senior New Republic law enforcement officer actually interested in investigating recent happenings in the Outer Rim, and he gets stonewalled at every turn by his superiors on Coruscant despite mounting evidence of [[TheRemnant Imperial Remnant]] activity. This leads to him going to the Mandalorians for help when SpacePirates lay siege to Nevarro.

* MilitaryMoonshiner: It is mentioned in "[[Literature/StarWarsFromACertainPointOfViewReturnOfTheJedi The Buy-In]]" that Hobbie was brewing a rather tuber liquor in a hollowed-out astromech unit. Wedge and Wes kept his operation going after his death and named the drink the Klivian in his honor.

A New Republic X-Wing pilot running patrol around Tatooine alongside Trapper Wolf.

* ShipTease: With Norra Wexley. The two begin a brief relationship in ''Life Debt'', but when Norra returns from Kashyyyk with her husband Bentin, who had been imprisoned there, the relationship ends. [[spoiler:Bentin's subsequent brainwashing and death allow Wedge and Norra to resume their relationship. This might double as a MythologyGag, as Wedge faced similar circumstances with his ''[[StarWarsLegends Legends]]'' LoveInterest.]]

* CassandraTruth: He's the only person in the New Republic who still sees the Imperial Remnant as a threat. As we all know, they eventually grow into the First Order.

* AscendedExtra: He is a minor character in the film, but is developed a lot more throughly in other media.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He is constantly irreverent and seemingly takes nothing seriously, but is one of the deadliest pilots in the Rebellion.
