Rogue Leader

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

This article is about the squadron callsign. You may be looking for the video game or comic book series.

Luke: "Just lend a hand on that gun and we'll be all right."
Dak: "What about you, Luke? You're the one who just got out of the medi-center."
Luke: "Part of the job. Rogue Flight, take up positions. Wing leaders, form up on me."

Rogue Leader, or Rogue One, was a title and callsign given to the commander of the elite Rebel Alliance/New Republic/Galactic Alliance starfighter group, Rogue Squadron. Because of Rogue Squadron's fame, the person holding the title of Rogue Leader was often considered the best active pilot in the Defense Force. Since only one Rogue Leader was ever killed in action, and was shot down by a previous Rogue Leader, this is understandable. Various pilots have taken that position over the years.

During the Battle of Gall in 3 ABY, Rogue Leader Wedge Antilles used the callsign Rogue One. Although he had been serving as Rogue Leader, that callsign was given temporarily to Luke Skywalker during the battle.
