And Blake's seven is less sexist than eg Star Wars - Princess Leia would not last a minute in the B7 universe - are there any 'active' women in SW?

BTW, Deliverance has both stock footage and a model rocket (and they don't match). However Children of Auron also has a rocket brood unit (albeit offscreen), which is under the sponsorship of Cally, Zelda, and Franton--is that matriarchal or phallic?
