I guess you never played Starlancer!
I see the Wing Commander Movie as an apocryphal story in the WC Universe.

It is clear that the Pilgrims are a rip off of the Newtypes from the Gundam Universe. Here is a list of other complaints.
The Cats look like mice.
The Rapier looks like a dildo with wings
The fact that Pilots are doing the job of Marines (boarding an Enemy Cap Ship)
Freddy and Shaggy as Maverick and Maniac? Whisky Tango Foxtrot?
To combat the venomous list of things I hated, here are some things I liked.
The Pilgrim Cross Pendant (I want one )
The Theme (An Excellent SF Fanfare)
Maniac got some (sure it's an apocryphal story, but I'm sure Maniac would be bragging about it in the official story line ).

I always viewed the Pilgrims as a ripoff of the Jedi...

Nemesis said:Apocryphal? You mean unauthentic? A false or fictitious fiction?
Well now there’s an (ahem!) argument I don’t think anyone’s tried before.
