I’ve always enjoyed Mara’s introduction to Wedge Antilles in Timothy Zahn’s “Dark Force Rising.”
“Mara ran a quick eye over him. From his build and general manner…"B-wing pilot?" she hazarded.
"X-wing," he corrected her. "I've got to get back before my convoy finishes loading. Want me to give you an escort out of here?"
"Thanks, but no," she said, resisting the urge to say something sarcastic.”
