** The name itself is also one last spiteful "fuck you" to the empire; because once the rebels capitalize on the sabotage he did, all that will remain of this project is "stardust".

** Also, in every cannon Rogue Squadron shows up in, There is no "Rogue One/first Wingman" it's Rogue Leader-Luke Skywalker Rogue Two/Rogue Leader Wedge Antilles then so on to either Rogue 4 or 5. Rogue Squadron has a Missing man formation.

* There's a good out-of-universe reason why it's a ''Hammerhead'' to take out the Star Destroyers and the shield gate and allowing the plans for the Death Star to be broadcast: hammerhead-style warships have all but been the symbol of the Republic Navy since they appeared in ''ComicBook/TalesOfTheJedi'' in 1994 while the Star Destroyer has been the same for the Empire, [[CoolVersusAwesome it was a battle that was long in the making]] and poetic justice that a hammerhead paved the way for the end of the Empire.

** That's just Rebel Alliance radio protocol. Red Leader isn't Red One, Gold Leader isn't Gold One. The missing callsigns are usually because the Alliance doesn't have enough ships and/or pilots to fill out all their squadrons completely. Still, the impact of the Rebellion's top fighter squadron being named after these heroes is significant.
