He also acted in Raiders of the Lost Ark, in the early part of the movie and at the end where he looks at Indiana Jones and says "Top people," when Jones asked him who had the Ark.
I wanted Biggs to survive the first Dearth Star battle. He was Luke's best friend. But George Luras didn't make them survive the first Death Star battle. I don't know how Wedge survived. He X-wing was hit, but it didn't blow up. I wonder why or how. If they did who would be the red leader in Star Wars Xi Return Of The Jedi?
It was grazed. Also, supposedly X-Wings had shields, but like ships in DS9, they didn't seem to be turned on most of the time. Luke's X-Wing also took a hit.
William Hootkins, what a great actor. He was also in Flash Gordon as Munson. He got killed in that movie too hahaha. He was also in Superman IV as one of the Nuclear Arms dealers. I think his character actually lived in that movie, lol.
yes william hootkins played both Lt. Echart and Jek Porkins. Two of his more famous roles. He was also in a cool low budget horror movie called Hardware
a legend died that day

Jack Nicholson was eating in a London restaurant when he was asked about the death of Porkins.
"That's too bad," said the actor, "I warned him."
The actor then resumed eating his dinner.

Biggs and Porkins should have survived. Wedge should have gotten blown up (wimp).
