The wing-tip was a maneuver utilized by Rogue Squadron's Wedge Antilles during a dogfight over the planet Cilpar in 5 ABY.

Getting in close behind an Imperial TIE fighter, he used the starboard S-foils of his X-wing to shear off the port wing of the enemy fighter, sending it slamming into the ground.

Behind the ScenesEdit

• The "wing tip" tactic bears a remarkable simillarity to a tactic developed by World War II RAF pilots to down V1 "buzz bombs." Flying alongside the bomb, the pilots would slip the wing of their aircraft under the bomb's stub wing and bank sharply, pushing the bomb into an uncontrolled dive.
