The tale of "Lucky" is featured in Star Wars Tales 23 (and subsequently compiled within Star Wars Tales Volume 6 as well as Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The New Republic Vol. 2), offering further insights into the backstory of Wedge Antilles. The story's primary action unfolds in 2 BBY, while the introductory and concluding scenes are set a few weeks following the Battle of Endor.
This narrative revolves around Wedge, highlighting his perceived "luck," even as he consistently misses out on his true desires. The majority of the story is presented as a retrospective, illustrating Wedge's initial decision to join the Rebellion.
Wedge, located on Gus Talon, finds himself in love with a woman named Mala. However, Mala's father, Rallo, is involved with the Rebellion, and while Antilles is away, the Imperials decimate Gus Talon.
In the present timeline, Wedge voices his disagreement with the notion of his own luck, using the events on Gus Talon and his failure to prevent them as a prime example.
Wedge Antilles himself alluded to it within the tenth issue of the 2013 Star Wars comic book series (Star Wars Volume 2: From the Ruins of Alderaan).
According to the title page of Star Wars Tales 23, the events of "Lucky" transpire "approximately seven years prior to Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope," placing them around 7 BBY. This conflicts with the story's own internal timeline, which indicates that the Gus Talon flashback occurs six years before the Battle of Endor, corresponding to 2 BBY. Furthermore, considering that the Rebel Alliance is active during the "Lucky" flashback, the 7 BBY date would also contradict the established timeline for the Rebel Alliance's formation in 2 BBY.
