They call me graland.

I dunno, but that title works for this story:The original Star Wars trilogy isn't really known for having a lot of roles for women - but it turns out that the third film, Return of the Jedi, featured some female pilots in the Battle of Endor. Two of these fighter pilots are featured among the deleted scenes and extras on the recent Blu-ray release, but not the two female X-Wing pilots.

And curiously, we still haven't seen the deleted scene featuring Vivienne Chandler as a X-Wing pilot, who had a full page and a half of dialogue in a cockpit set. Apparently, Chandler actually went to a screening of the film that included her scenes, and then when it was actually released, they were gone.

You can glimpse the female pilots in the briefing scene before the battle. One of them was actually included for a split second, but her one line of dialogue, "Got it," was replaced by a male voice in post-production.

Did George Lucas decide that showing female pilots getting blown up was too intense? Or was there some other reason why he wanted an all-male fighter squad? We'll probably never know - but it's weird that Chandler's footage has never turned up, in any form, after being in an early cut of the film.

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.

George Lucas is a myth, he doesn't really exist.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Sounds like stuff just cut in post-production. I'm sure plenty of stuff was. So no.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.
