It's now the month of November which some people refer to as Movember.
They memorialize the month by growing mustaches, and I would join them if I could but since my facial hair is against me
I thought I would do something special for Movember instead and talk about all the members of Mustache Squadron.
I've mentioned Mustache Squadron before as a joke but today I will give you my official list.
There are a couple prerequisites to joining. First and most obviously, you've got to have a sick mustache. Second,
and this isn't a prerequisite so much as it just seems to happen to every mustached pilot,
but you've got to go out in a blaze of glory fighting for a worthy cause.
You all know I wouldn't start this list any other way than with Biggs Darklighter.
He is Mustache Leader, being the founding member after all. He was the childhood friend of Luke Skywalker on Tatooine.
He joined the Empire until he mutineed on the Rand Ecliptic and defected to the Rebel Alliance.
He died protecting Luke from enemy fire during the Battle of Yavin and without his sacrifice the Rebellion would have been destroyed.
General Antoc Merrick is Mustache Number Two because I've referred to him as the blond Biggs of Rogue One.
He served as the flight leader of the planetary defense force on his homeworld of Virujansi.
When the Empire took over, he rejected an offer to join their Navy and sided with the rebels who he believed had greater
piloting ability. He died during the Battle of Scarif protecting ground forces while they stole the plans to the first Death Star.
Keir Santage is Mustache Three. In Star Wars Legends, he was rescued from an imperial detention center and joined Rogue Squadron
He flew as Red Seven in the Battle of Endor.
He was shot down inside the second Death Star as he protected the other pilots that were attempting to destroy the reactor core.
Grizz Frix is Mustache Four. In Legends he was from Devaron and wanted to join Rogue Squadron, but was considered
psychologically scarred and unfit for active service.
But the Battle of Endor acquired as many pilots as the Rebellion could provide so he flew as Red Five.
He was killed as he attacked a Star Destroyer.
Harb Binli is Mustache Five. He was from Eriadu, the homeworld of Grand Moff Tarkin.
He flew as Red Seven in the Battle of Scarif, which he survived.
He also flew at the Battle of Yavin, which is where he was shot down.
Ralo Surrel is Mustache Six, and he has a similar story.
He was originally a stunt pilot before joining the Rebellion to fly as Red Eleven.
He also survived the Battle of Scarif, only to perish in the Battle of Yavin.
Green Leader of the Star Wars Rebels Episode Zero Hour is Mustache Seven.
We don't know much about him except that he was shot down in his A-wing during the Battle of Atollon. He also
happened to be voiced by Dave Filoni.
And finally, as of today, Mustache Eight is Ello Asty. Now, I know what you're thinking. He has no mustache.
Well, I beg to differ. His inclusion is somewhat of an honorary position because he sports the yellow and black
checkerboard used by Biggs and so many other Mustache Squadron members,
and he died protecting Poe Dameron much the same way Biggs died to save Luke As of right now,
those are my official picks for Mustache Squadron. Who's your favorite?
Who do you think deserves a spot? Let me know in the comments. Also as we near the release of Battlefront 2,
I wanted to talk about how you can join Mustache Squadron.
I've opened up YouTube sponsorships because I plan to make a very strong
effort to livestream Battlefront 2 weekly at the very least. If that's something you'd like to see and you want to support the channel,
please consider joining our group of sponsors,
which I will be calling Mustache Squadron. Joining the Squadron means you'll get extra chat features like custom emoticons and more.
But that's it for today. Ff you haven't already please like this video, subscribe to the channel, follow me on Twitter, Instagram
and Facebook and consider checking out my Patreon page. As always, thanks for watching and may the Force be with you.
