    I think it's more "Joins, realises "This fucking sucks" and then defects/deserts.

    In the old EU Han Solo, Wedge Antilles, and Kyle Katarn all went through this.

      Wedge is only a defector in the new canon. I wont do my presentation on why his original backstory is better though

      nah, EU Wedge worked at a space gas station before his parents got killed, then got revenge and joined the rebellion

        Phantom Affair is so fucking good. Much better than the suggested origin in the short comic "lucky". Phantom Affair says everything you need to know about Wedge, and why he is so ready to do the right thing no matter what

      They join because propaganda and immediately go “I think we are the baddies” and peace out and manage to find the rebels fast.
