The original Star Wars trilogy is n’t really known for have a plenty of roles for women — but it turns out that the third moving-picture show , Return of the Jedi , featured some female pilot in the Battle of Endor . Two of these fighter pilots are feature among the deleted scenes and extras on the recent Blu - ray press release , but not the two distaff X - Wing pilots .
And peculiarly , we still have n’t date the deleted scene featuring Vivienne Chandler ( left ) as a X - Wing pilot program , who had a full pageboy and a half of dialogue in a cockpit set . Apparently , Chandler really went to a viewing of the film that include her scenes , and then when it was actually released , they were gone .
you could glimpse the distaff pilots in the briefing scene before the battle . One of them was in reality admit for a rent second , but her one line of dialogue , “ Got it , ” was replace by a virile voice in post - production .
Did George Lucas decide that show female pilots getting blown up was too intense ? Or was there some other reason why he want an all - male person fighter police squad ? We ’ll probably never have a go at it — but it ’s weird that Chandler ’s footage has never turn up , in any form , after being in an early cut of the cinema . More details at the link .
