Female pilots<\/a> edited out of the Star Wars movies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I saw the tweets about this today, and I was like oh yeah, I remember hearing about that.<\/p>\n

And then I saw the pictures and just\u2014 wow. What it would have meant to have these women in the movie, all this time. I can\u2019t properly articulate it but it\u2019s hitting me unexpectedly hard.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wow thats a shame, even a nice old lady too.\u00a0 These Space Valkyries\u00a0 should have been left in.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

They really should have.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

WHAT.<\/p>\n

THE.<\/p>\n

FUCK.<\/p>\n

I lived, ate, and breathed Star Wars from age 2 until 2005 when RotS finally beat\u00a0the enthusiasm out of me, and I have NEVER, EVER in all my reading on behind-the-scenes and makings-of heard of these shots. It\u2019s a shame there was no relaunched edit of the original trilogy they could have slipped these in OH FUCKING WAIT THERE\u2019S BEEN LIKE 3 OF THOSE NOW.<\/p>\n

Fuck. FUCK. Whoever decided to edit out and bury these needs to french kiss an angle grinder.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I want to see the old lady in the A-Wing. Seriously, it\u2019s like,\u00a0she\u2019s somebody\u2019s grandma<\/i>. Some kid in the Outer Rim Territories got greased by the Empire for seeing something she wasn\u2019t supposed to see, and her grandma, the bush pilot, decided \u201cFuck this, I\u2019m gonna strap on an fighter and make the Empire fucking PAY for the moment it decided to fuck with MY FAMILY.\u201d<\/p>\n

DON\u2019T. MESS. WITH. GRANDMA.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These are quickly being put into the \u201calways reblog\u201d category.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whenever there is a war, there are women who are warriors. Then they get erased from history. Happens in real wars and fictional ones alike.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Less than 5% of general aviation licenses go to women. \u00a0If these had been left in, you can bet that number would be higher.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

^^^That knocked the breath out of me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I just can\u2019t believe they not only took them out, but refused to put them back in during the seventeen times they updated the movies. And of course the only possible explanation for this is: you do not belong here.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Literally though. How many stupid remasters have they done but THIS gets left out? Ugh<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

for the record the names of these characters are Sila Kott played by<\/p>\n

Poppy Hands and Dorovio Bold played by\u00a0Vivienne Chandler. I couldn\u2019t find the name of the old woman though \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

http:\/\/starwars.wikia.com\/wiki\/Dorovio_Bold<\/a>\u00a0
\n\u201cAs well as her appearance in the briefing, footage of the character in a cockpit during the Battle of Endor was also filmed, but not used in the final cut of the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

http:\/\/starwars.wikia.com\/wiki\/Sila_Kott<\/a>\u00a0\u201cAlthough played by British actress Poppy Hands in Return of the Jedi<\/i>, Sila Kott was later dubbed over by an American man\u2019s voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
