- Star Wars, pg 213:
- With inhuman precision, Darth Vader depressed the fire control of his
- fighter again. A loud, desperate shout sounded over the speakers, blending
- into a final agonized scream of flesh and metal as Bigg's fighter burst into
- a billion glowing splinters that rained down on the bottom of the trench.
- Wedge heard the explosion over his speakers and hunted frantically
- behind him for the trailing enemy ships. "We lost Biggs," he yelled toward
- his own pickup.
- Luke didn't reply immnediately. His eyes were watering, and he angrily
- wiped them clear. They were blurring his view of the targeting readout.
- "We're a couple of shooting stars, Biggs," he wispered......
- (end of quote)

- Hope that answeres the question
