Question for Star Wars geeks!?

In Episode IV: A New Hope, when R2-D2 insists he belongs to Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO says to Luke's uncle, 'Our last owner was Captain Antilles.' (meaning, presumably, the captain of Princess Leia's ship). Later on, just before the attack on the Death Star, Luke meets his former friend, Wedge Antilles. What is the relationship between these two characters with the same surname?

    First Luke did not meet Wedge before the Death Star attack in ANH. He met his friend Biggs. Wedge is the pilot that gets hit later during Lukes run and has to pull out.

    Antilles is a common name. Wedge Antilles is from Corllia. The Captain C3PO is reffering to is Captain Raymus Antilles commanded the Tantive IV, the ship captured by Vader at the beginning of ANH. He is from Alderaan and is of no relation to Wedge.

    I'm not completely sure about the relation between the two, but I don't believe they even mention it in any of the movies. I checked out a wiki page on Wedge to make sure and it said that he was the son of Jagged Antilles and Zena, and he was orphaned at age 17. So that rules out Captain Antilles to be his father. Heck, they might not even be related in any way. But nonetheless, I don't really think it was meant to be anything too important in the movies.

    movie= Return of the Jedi game= The old arcade Star Wars game planet= Naboo character= Luke all the way lightsaber battle= probably between Luke and Vadar, both in Empire and Jedi,because of the emotions surrounding the battle (yes, I get into the story line of the originals!) species= ewoks or wookies, it's a tie moon= endor, I could live there! ship= of course, the Millenium Falcon battle= my all-time favorite is the battle to blow up the death star in episode 4 never got into the shows, if you mean serious, but I liked the tv movie about the ewoks, can't remember the name now. The one with the little girl in it.
