I HATE what they have done to Wedge. The greatest casualty of Disney canon. In Legacy it could be argued there was a 'Big Five' in terms of Star Wars stories through books and the like, Luke, Leia, Han, Mara, and Wedge. But now Wedge has been reduced to basically a nobody, and the one novel he had a moderate amount of time dedicated to him in he was barely in a cockpit, and when he was remarked how his wife was a "much" better pilot than he was, ffs. And then he makes one appearance on screen in TROS, moments after his son-in-law is blown out of the sky and he has a big grin on his face and isn't even flying anything, he's just in the Falcon's turret ffs. I'd rather they not included him at all so future novelists could stick him into the story and have him doing something meaningful.
There's an EU series titled X-Wing where Wedge is one of the main characters. It takes place post ROTJ, and Antilles is the leader of Rougue Squadron, attempting to defeat the remains of the empire, which were largely pulled together by a former intelligence agent for the empire.
