An anxious Wedge hears a familiar voice....
 
258 INT. WEDGE’S X-WING FIGHTER – COCKPIT.

GREEN TWO: (over headset) I’m almost... (sound of static) Wait! I’m hit! Arggh!
A muffled explosion erupts over WEDGE’S headset. He grinds his jaw and watches helplessly as the TIE chasing GREEN FOUR fires again. The B-WING’S engine nacelle erupts brightly and the ship explodes, spewing debris. The PILOT spins off into space. WEDGE brings his ship around behind the fleeing TIE, lining it up in his sights. He pulls his trigger, obliterating the enemy ship. WEDGE breaks into a nervous sweat as the laserfire is returned from an unseen source, nicking one of his wings close to the engine. For the first time, he feels the helplessness of his situation.
WEDGE: Home One, do you copy? There are too many of them! We’re getting pulverized out here!
LEIA: (over headset) You boys need some help?
WEDGE smiles and looks around for the source of the familiar voice.
