Re-Introducing Captain Colton

Bounty hunter turned rebel scum, Jeremy Bul­loch is the pilot of Tan­tive IV in Revenge of the Sith, return­ing unmasked for his third care­fully por­trayed char­ac­ter, fol­low­ing “He’s no good to me dead” Boba Fett and “Luke, it’s a trap!” Lieu­tenant Sheckil.

Cap­tain Colton Antilles was the com­man­der of the Tan­tive IV when it was cap­tured by the Empire shortly after the Rebel Alliance inter­cepted plans for the orig­i­nal Death Star. He was also for­mer mas­ter of the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 before they became the prop­erty of Luke Sky­walker. Antilles died at the hands of Darth Vader after he failed to give infor­ma­tion on the loca­tion of the Death Star plans. Accord­ing to the X-Wing series of nov­els, he was not related to Wedge Antilles.

He appeared in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and its radio adap­ta­tion, though it was only in the radio ver­sion that he was men­tioned by name. His name in the nov­el­iza­tion of A New Hope was sim­ply Cap­tain Colton. He will appear in the upcom­ing Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
