did the original Biggs and Wedge Die?

there in every FF from VI onward (except IX) and their also in KH2 as storekeeprs in armour shops, and their in chocobos dungeon 2 as black mages. Thier also in chrono trigger as Vicks and Wedge again..
They never died in FFVIII. You see them on the Lunatic Pandora just after Fujin & Rajin fight in which they both quit the Galbadian army.

Biggs (Darklighter, Luke's friend from Tattooine), died at the end of A New Hope in the trench sequence. Wedge Antilles is a little fuzzier, though. If I remember correctly, he was the one who wouldn't tell Vader what happened to the plans and was in turn strangled (off the floor) aboard the blockade runner. However, I seem to remember his name popping up again later (but I think it was in the Radio Drama, which although approved by Lucas I doubt is actual canon).

Could be coincidence. A biggs and wedge in both Star Wars and FF.

It's not a coincidence. The Biggs & Wedge in Final Fantasy are a homage to the Biggs & Wedge in Star Wars.

Yep. It's been confirmed by Square in the past.

I remember fighting them in FFVIII near the start(before that annoying robot spider that you don't get any experience or AP for)
I also remember them in AVALANCHE in FFVII and I think it's Biggs that falls out of the tower and lands right by you and you find Wedge more near the top.
I don't remember them in any other FF(never played VI)

Square boys are big Star Wars-fans so that is solid proof that that Biggs&Wedge names were taken from SW. And FFXII world had lot similarities with SW-movies.
