	Commander - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		Commander is a military rank or title, and was used in several different ways during the era of the Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War and Yuuzhan Vong invasion, as well as other wars.
		The usage of "Commander" in Star Wars is complicated by the fact that authentic military usage treats "Commander" as a rank, a position, and a title.
		The analogous air force rank of "Wing Commander" (borrowed into the Royal Air Force from the Royal Navy) is also a source of some confusion, as the Alliance has been seen to use wing commander alongside "flight commander," which may be a rank, position, or title.

		Considering that the rank of Commander in naval rank systems, and the RAF rank of Wing Commander, are equivalent to the army rank of Lieutenant Colonel...
		As for why the rank "commander" is used as it is in the books, my interpretation is based in _Solo Command_, in which Wedge commands an entire flight group, and _I, Jedi_, because in it Tycho is already a Colonel.
		Likewise, as of the HOT Corran is promoted to "Commander" because he can't be promoted any higher as long as Wedge commands at General and Tycho is XO at Colonel; however, due to his service record, it wouldn't be right for him to stay at Major.
