GOODBYE, LYNNE HAZELDEN...

The very sad news has come in that RETURN OF THE JEDI background artist Lynne Hazelden has sadly passed away, after being such a trooper battling cancer. Lynne was one of the few onscreen and visible female X-wing pilots of the film, later given the Expanded Universe character name of Karie Neth. She can be viewed in the important Rebel Briefing Room scene.

I had the opportunity of meeting Miss Hazelden a few years back- an attractive and charming lady who had lots to remember about her time making JEDI, as well as other films in her varied career.

Our deepest sympathies go out to her family and friends at this sad time. RIP.
