Character Information From:
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jek_Tono_Porkins
Jek Tono Porkins was a male human trader and pilot from Bestine. He decided to abandon his homeworld after the Galactic Empire moved in and developed a new military base there, and he ended up joining the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
During the Battle of Yavin (in Star Wars: Episode IV: "A New Hope"), The burly rebel pilot flew a T-65B X-wing starfighter as part of Red Squadron, where his callsign was "Red Six." When Garven Dreis ordered the destruction of one of the deflection towers on the surface of the space station, Biggs Darklighter and Porkins both destroyed it with their starfighter's laser cannons.
Biggs Darklighter: "Cover me, Porkins!"
Porkins' craft struck debris from the tower and began to malfunction, causing him to drift over the Imperial turbolaser batteries mounted on the surface. Ignoring Biggs' warning to eject from the craft, Porkins was killed almost instantly by ground fire.
Jek Porkins: "I've got a problem here."
Biggs Darklighter: "Eject!"
Jek Porkins: "I can hold it."
Biggs Darklighter: "Pull up!"
Jek Porkins: "No, I'm all—Aargh!"
Over three decades later, Porkins was remembered through the "Porkins Belly Run", a Resistance flight maneuver named in his honor.
