Gemmer Sojan was a dark-haired pilot seen during the briefing. He’s one of the late arrivals alongside Tarrin Datch, and appears to have a generic red helmet. Though he’s a largely unremarkable extra in the film (the actor returned to play a technician in ROTJ), the character actually did some stuff in the old EU- dating back to the original Marvel comics. One of the story-lines involved a paperweight. Riveting stuff. The ret-con to the ESB appearance came much later, but it seems infinitely more likely that Hasbro would make this version than any comics-based version. Though, admittedly, the chances of either happening is zero.
