The brief comic "A Day in the Life" appeared in Star Wars Tales 12 and was later compiled in both Star Wars Tales Volume 3 and Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The New Republic Vol. 2. Brett Matthews penned the narrative, Guy Major handled the coloring, and Steve Dutro was responsible for the lettering. Its setting is established as three days following the Battle of Endor.
Wedge Antilles, leading a small Rogue Squadron patrol of T-65 X-wing starfighters, stumbles upon the still-dangerous wreckage of the downed flagship Executor. Following the loss of one of their pilots, the two remaining pilots grapple with their grief, and Antilles composes a letter to the deceased pilot's family.
The inclusion of entries for the characters Kirst and Wister within The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia implies an endorsement of the canonicity of this particular Tales narrative.
However, the story's placement three days after the Battle of Endor presents a conflict. During this time, Wedge Antilles, leading Rogue Squadron, and Luke Skywalker are depicted as still being with the Alliance Fleet orbiting Endor. This timeline directly contradicts events in The Truce at Bakura novel, where Skywalker, Antilles, and Rogue Squadron leave Endor two days post-battle to aid Imperial forces on Bakura. The novel makes it clear that the journey from Endor to Bakura would span "days," suggesting that three days after Endor, Skywalker, Antilles, and Rogue Squadron would already be in hyperspace.
