There were female pilots in Return of the Jedi?

[cthulhu_waves]

Almost 30 years later, we find out that there were female Rebel pilots in the 1983 film Return of the Jedi. Two of them are finally seen in the Blu-ray version just released.

Though women fighter pilots were seen amongst the crowd within the Rebel Cruiser briefing room earlier in RETURN OF THE JEDI, it was believed that none were seen in the actual final battle above Endor...until now, with the Blu-ray revealing that one of the brave A-wing pilots was indeed female (as seen in the above image) but, for reasons unknown (probably an accident made during the Post Production dialogue re-dubbing phase in the US) replaced with a male actors voice instead (with one line: "Got it"). Her character was seemingly killed mere seconds later by a TIE fighter.

There were four female Rebel pilots in all, but two are still unseen. Which means, of course, that there is still a lot of unused Star Wars footage available for new edits of the existing films for future releases. See more pictures at Star Wars Aficionado Magazine.

Are you kidding me? Star Wars fans are fucking fanatic. The only ones worse are Star Trek fans (I met George Takei a few weeks ago!).

It makes perfect sense to me that women would serve as combat pilots in Star Wars, being as they are set far off in the future. Women are just moving into the field now, and someday it will be common place.

However Lucas fucked the Blu-Ray versions big time...

Actually Star Wars takes place in a distant past.

Yup, it's too bad.

I am happy when movie makers update the movie IMAGE and SOUND QUALITY for blue ray. It makes a huge, positive difference when they re mix and replace the old 2 track stereo sound into 5.1 or 7.1 surround, and clean up the noise and hiss of the sound track, clean up the image, etc. What they should never do is change the actual movies themselves. IE, Han Shooting First.
