    This article is about the callsign. You may be looking for the X-wing starfighter.

    "Red Five standing by."
    ―Luke Skywalker — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[1]

    Red Five was the callsign for the fifth member of Red Squadron.

    History

    LukeSkywalker-SWLP03
    Red Five became a famous callsign under its usage by Luke Skywalker (pictured).
    "Stay close, Red Five! Where are you going?"
    "This is Red Five! I need help!"
    ―Red Leader Garven Dreis to Red Five Pedrin Gaul during the Battle of Scarif[2]

    The callsign was used by Pedrin Gaul of the Massassi Group during the battle over Scarif; however, Gaul was killed in the battle, leaving the position vacant.[3] It was later taken up by Luke Skywalker when he joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic shortly before the Battle of Yavin,[1] and he would use this callsign in that battle as well as in several subsequent missions.[4]

    After Skywalker destroyed the first Death Star, the callsign became synonymous with the actual X-wing fighter he flew.[5] Red Five remained famous as Skywalker's call sign[6] but would see use by other pilots, such as Grizz Frix, who used the callsign during the Battle of Endor.[7] Rey utilized the old Red Five callsign by taking control of Skywalker's old X-wing ahead of the Battle of Exegol.[6]
