    And he died, having accomplished very little, because he believed that victory comes from purity of purpose, rather than from working together against the enemy of all.

      Pretty sure he was out pulling the empire away from yavin to buy them time while the rebel council was arguing and indecisive, only to end up complaining that he deployed without their prior approval.

      Umm… I think he accomplished a bit more than “very little”. Not looking it up, but the show clearly makes him out to be an important asset.

        The show clearly makes him out to be a loose cannon, dangerous even to his allies. He caused great factionalism in the rebellion.

          Even if that’s true (imho it’s not so clear-cut): he’s still considered to be an important asset and vital in the establishment of Yavin.

          Also, the show clearly shows the issues of the politics of the new rebellion council.
