Red Squadron, the forerunner of Rogue Squadron, is first featured as a Rebel Alliance division in "A New Hope" (1977) during the attack on the first Death Star. This appearance features many notable pilots, including Biggs Darklighter ("Red Three"), Jek Porkins ("Red Six"), Wedge Antilles ("Red Two"), and Luke Skywalker ("Red Five"). The squadron went on to appear in "The Empire Strikes Back" at the Battle of Hoth and in "Return of the Jedi" during the attack on the second Death Star. The squadron was never a prominent feature of these films, and was rarely referred to as "Rogue Squadron" (rather, the "Red Squadron" designation is used).
