'''Wedge:''' -who has a certain perspective on the matter the rest of us don't. He thinks it all has to do with corruption, with the seduction of the not-too-unwilling. [...] Put a man or woman in a situation where the actions he's obliged to take, such as serving [[BigBad Emperor Palpatine]], are a certain path to personal corruption.
