Recently, in the comic Star Wars #15 by Charles Soule, we have seen Wedge and Luke aid some rebels by blasting a mountain, causing a volcano to erupt and destroy a Star Destroyer in the process. Even though the battle, in the end, is a major loss for the Rebel Alliance, Wedge is still able to bide time for some to succeed and escape by taking down some of the enemies they face. During the Battle of Hoth, Wedge is the first one to take down an AT-AT.
They even create Rogue Squadron, named in honor of the heroes of Rogue One. Over the next few years, he continues to help Luke on missions. The entire Rebel Base on Yavin IV would have been destroyed, our familiar heroes included. Without this heroic action, Luke might have been killed and been unable to destroy the Death Star. Some might think it rather lackluster seeing Wedge have to leave the battle saying "Sorry" when his ship is too damaged, but people should remember that, earlier, he helps Luke by taking out a TIE Fighter on his tail. In fact, apart from Luke Skywalker, he is the only member of Red Squadron to make it out alive. Though he is not present at the Battle of Scarif, he is part of Red Squadron during the Battle of Yavin. However, he grows to become a very prominent figure within the Rebel Alliance.

Within canon, Wedge Antilles becomes involved with the Rebellion when he is among other cadets trying to escape an Imperial flight academy in the Star Wars Rebels episode "The Antilles Extraction." While he helps the Ghost crew every now and then, he might be perceived a bit more as a comic relief character in this show. Despite being a side character, he is a familiar face who essentially becomes an underdog to root for. He may not be Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, Chewie, Artoo, or Threepio, but he is present in all three films of the original trilogy, during which is is instrumental in the major battles. It might be a headscratcher to casual viewers of the Star Wars films if one were to acknowledge Wedge Antilles as a hero of the Rebellion.
