"Red Leader standing by." - Wedge Antilles

Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Prequel Trilogy, is the nephew of Denis Lawson, who played Rebel pilot Wedge Antilles in the Original Trilogy. In Episode III at the Battle of Coruscant, clone trooper pilot "Odd Ball" refers to General Kenobi as Red Leader. Red Leader also happens to be the call-sign of Wedge in Return of the Jedi.
