Antilles Four-Step Instant Speech
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
- "People of Adumar, I am Wedge Antilles and it is my pleasure to meet you at last. And as a representative of the New Republic, I'm pleased to be present at this historic meeting of our great peoples. I must admit, I find this display very heartwarming. It's possibly the best greeting I've ever received. I'll have to find out if I can replicate it on the walls of my quarters back home. I expect to have more to say when I'm settled in, but for now, thank you for the warm welcome."
- ―Wedge Antilles[src]
The Antilles Four-Step Instant Speech was devised by Wedge Antilles after his promotion to the rank of general. He made use of it many times, including his arrival on Adumar.
[edit] Description
Part One was to remind the audience who the speaker is in case they had forgotten. Part Two was to remind them why the speaker was talking to them. Part Three was to say something personal, to affirm that the speaker had been paying attention. Part Four was to finish the speech before the speaker made a fool of himself.
