	Patrick A. Fargo:
	     Has anyone an idea as to the identity of "BIGS" in the SW saga?
	In the first SW film, Luke says, "BIGS was right, I'll never get out
	of here". This was in response to his Uncle Owen asking him to stay on
	one more year. I noticed in ROTJ that one or two references were also
	made about BIGS. I can not recall the context but has anyone else
	heard these?

In my first viewing of the original Star Wars movie, Biggs appeared in an
early scene.  He was a friend of Luke's, and was trying to convince Luke
to go with him and join the rebellion.  This scene has been omitted in
subsequent releases which I have seen.  But Biggs still shows up as one of
the fighter pilots who go out to tackle the Death Star, while Luke shows
particular concern for him.

I have a SW4 story book which has a picture of Biggs talking to Luke
on Tatooine.
