There were the braid-wearing Tonnika twin sisters (yes, they had a name) and their few seconds in the cantina the female rebel officer on Hoth with the immortal line “Stand by, Ion Control…fire,” and one Rebel fighter pilot on the second Death Star.
Sure, there were other women that could be spotted from time to time, but their onscreen presence was fleeting for all except the more devoted fanboy. The Tonnika sisters in the Star Wars cantina. Conceived by a man who thought there were no bras in space and decided duct tape would work best to keep the breasts under control, Star Wars still appealed to young girls for decades despite the absence of more strong female role models. The original trilogy had the tough, independent Princess Leia and the prequels had the soulless, vapid Padme. Not really, but it certainly felt that way.
