Biggs has a larger role in the "Legends" non-canonical storyline. In the radio version, Kale Browne provided the voice of Biggs. According to a Dark Horse four-issue comic series in "" spotlighting Biggs entitled "Darklighter", Biggs was a longtime friend of Luke's on Tatooine. Biggs left Tatooine to be trained as an Imperial pilot, and during this training, he heard rumors of the Death Star from fellow trainees. After several months training, he was assigned as first mate on the Imperial starship "Rand Ecliptic", with an old enemy named Derek Klivian (nicknamed "Hobbie") as second mate. He came back to visit Tatooine to tell his friends and family of his new assignment but only tells Luke and his family of his hope to join the Rebel Alliance. During the events of "A New Hope", Biggs is planning a mutiny of the "Rand Ecliptic", not realizing that several mutinies are being planned by several different groups. He joins forces with Hobbie, one of the leaders, and the two go AWOL to Yavin 4. Biggs becomes a part of the Alliance's missions to steal their first R2 units and X-wings, which they receive just days before the Battle of Yavin. Before going to battle, Biggs saves Hobbie's life by finding medicine for a strange disease Hobbie caught on Yavin 4, which the Rebellion did not have a cure for. The New Republic later named a military base on Coruscant in Biggs's honor.
