Biggs Darklighter pilot of a starfighter.
His cousin, Smalls Lightdarker, preferred to support the Rebellion via vigorous activism and fundraising instead.

I read that in Freddie mercury's voice, like in Bohemian Rhapsody when he sings the line "I'm just a poor boy from a poor family". Thus, the only thing left to do is:
"I'm Biggs Darklighter pilot of a starfighter
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go, will you let me go?
Darth Vader
No, we will not let you go (let him go)
Darth Vader
We will not let you go (let him go)
Darth Vader
We will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (never, never, never, never let me go)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no..."
Alas, poor Darklighter.
Though with a name like that, he’d probably have turned evil if he had’t died in the first Star Wars movie.

"Mama, just shot a TIE
Put my lasers through its hull
While their charge was set to full
Mama, the fight had just begun
But now Darth Vader's blown my ship away..."
They need to make a new Biggs minifigure …. with a different helmet mold.
That's my best friend's favorite SW character. Not entirely sure what that says about my friend...
*shudder*
Those Rebel pilot helmets were so bad. Alas, the new stormtrooper ones aren’t much better. I wish we could go back to the old mold on those too.

I liked those Rebel helmets. Stormtroopers' too.
Time to Darklight it up!
(Yes that's an actual line he says in LSW The Skywalker Saga)
The last one of the original 1999 minifigs (at least concerning OT) to get an update and it took only 19 years :D
Yikes. That new helmet is really, really ugly.
Loved this set helmets idk I liked them alright
These helmets were actually useful for making anyone into a rebel pilot, not being dependent on a special head. Family guy Stormtroopers have no such silver lining.
LEGO Star Wars is always truly cursed to go down the worst timeline, isn't it?
If all the rebel pilots have individual helmet designs like that, does that mean at some point Biggs sat down at some point and painstakingly painted that checkerboard pattern on himself?

Well you've got to kill time somehow on those long hyperspace flights

It's just like shooting womp rats back home. (Darth Vader voice)

Back in 1999 we had classic smileys for Rebel Pilot heads :D

This is, I know, is a post about flipping all the words in Biggs's name to their opposites... but my mind went immediately to Biggs's actual [pre-Disney canon] cousin, Gavin Darklighter, who... er... preferred to support the Rebellion exactly the same way as Biggs.
