Yep. So far, XII takes the cake in it's homages to Star Wars, going so far as to mirror many aspects of it. Evil empire? Yuppers. Bright-eyed youth with his head in the stars (or skies, in this case)? Uh huh. Deposed princess leading a revolution? Got it. Family member turned evil wearing a big scary suit who goes good in the end? Yup. As reddas mentioned, Balthier and Fran being the equivalent to Han and Chewy. And many many more.

To answer an earlier question somewhere the Wedge in Star Wars does live. In fact he is the one responsible for blowing up the second Death Star. Yea it is just funny to keep seeing Biggs and Wedge poping up in the final fantasies. Most funny was FF8 cause you just fought them so many times and thier dialouge was just so funny. Remember in the desert prision you could confuse the two into attacking eachother and they would cry when one would attack the other.

Yeah I'm a real big Star Wars nut so I've always loved the Biggs and Wedge characters. I ALWAYS look for them. As far as they go in the Star Wars universe, Biggs Darklighter dies during the first death star attack, and Wedge Antilles goes on to be in Rogue Squadron with Luke during the battle at Hoth in Empire Strikes Back, and he was in the space battle on the 2nd Death Star run in Return of the Jedi.

The books take him even further. Wedge leads Rogue Squadron after Luke goes off on his own to do all his Jedi crap. Eventually he even becomes some general.
