The new Star Wars movies won't have Wedge in them
Actor Denis Lawson has said he will not be appearing in any of the new Star Wars sequels, possibly confirming those rumors that the subtitle of Star Wars: Episode VII will be The Ancient Fear—as in, the ancient fear that the new Star Wars movies won’t have Wedge in them. Lawson made his comments at a screening for his new movie, The Machine, where everyone sat politely through a Q&A until they felt a respectful enough length of time had passed that they could finally ask him about Star Wars. And it was there that the erstwhile Wedge Antilles—who’d previously suggested he would only return to the role if it were “fully rounded and expanded”—said he’d been approached but had turned it down.
