X-Wing Rogue Squadron

Go To

  • Complete Monster: X-Wing: Rogue Leader: General Weir is a particularly fanatical Imperial officer who organizes his own "counter-rebellion" mere weeks following the destruction of the second Death Star. Described as a sadist, and refusing to accept the Empire's defeat, Weir lives up to his reputation by leading a cowardly terrorist attack against the civilian population of Coronet City, massacring countless innocents to send a message to the entire metropolis: they still live under Imperial rule. Behind the brutal torture and murder of Rebel pilot Ten Numb, Weir aims to ignite a bloody uprising to secure the Empire's place in the galaxy and ensure peace is never achieved.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Go here.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Go here.
  • Narm: A panel from Warrior Princess shows a boy sitting on Darth Vader's lap as Vader makes toys fly around them. Shown without context it's profoundly goofy, though with context it's...
  • Nightmare Fuel: The full story of the colossally screwed up Prince Harrandatha Estillo, a Creepy Child described as "a thing from the deepest pit of the Sith". There was something wrong with him from the start, but then Vader came for a visit and "played in Harran's room for hours" with the door closed. Harran loved Vader and changed from torturing animals to seeming calmer and colder. When the Priamsata deposed the royal family and decided to execute them, he was with them, watching eagerly, and noticed that their parents had managed to boost his older sister Plourr out of a window to escape - so he grabbed her and screamed for the nobles to get her and slit her throat so he could watch. They didn't hear over the screams of the rest of the family, and Plourr bludgeoned him to death with a rock and escaped.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Kasan Moor from the Rogue Squadron game never comes up in either the comics or the books. An Alderaanian Imperial pilot, like Tycho, who was part of a renowned squadron and defected to join the Rogues, like Fel? There's a lot that could have been done with her - in fact when he first appears Fel seems to be her Spear Counterpart, though he's subsequently given a much expanded role.
