Wedge Antilles, the Ace X-wing pilot of the Rebel Alliance, heads up the legendary Rogue Squadron, the most feared unit in the Rebel fleet. But the Empire boasts its own elite force—the ruthless Imperial 181st Fighter Division, commanded by Baron Fel, the mentor to many of Rogue Squadron’s finest pilots. Now, Wedge and his Rogues will face the ultimate challenge as the 181st is deployed to settle the score with Rogue Squadron, once and for all!
And what secrets could this new commander have on Wedge? And what implications will it all hold for the fledgling New Republic? Stay tuned as your hosts cover all this, and more, on the next Star Wars Beyond the Films. YOUR “Star Wars” discussion podcast! YOUR Podcast of Legends! …aswell as Canon!

X-Wing: Rogue Squadron: In the Empire's Service
On the world of Brentaal, Imperial General Isoto prepares for a Rebel assault. His goal: not to save the planet, or even the Imperial base, but to save himself. Isoto has the best shield there is, the Empire's greatest fighter ace, Baron Fel. But having the Baron and having him take orders are two totally different things!
On this episode:
- Who is Baron Fel?
- What is the connection between Antilles and Fel?
- How many Rogues make up their current Roster?
- How is the Story Pacing?
- What is "Project Ambition", and why have we forgotten it?
- Who is the real villain of the story?
- How many times do the Rogues, or more importantly Wes, get shot down?
- How was the Art, and Cover Art?
- All this, and more!
Once more your hosts cover entirely too much "Starfighter" action this episode. But don't worry, give it a go; you'll laugh, you'll cry, you might even get a little education on Star Wars while you're at it. But no matter how you slice it and dice it, you'll be having another adventure Beyond the Films. So sitback, hang on, enjoy the show, and may the Force be with you!
