A little background on Sila Kott from Wookieepedia:
"Sila Kott was female Human starfighter pilot who fought and died at the Battle of Endor. Kott's A-wing was part of the Rebel Alliance's Red Squadron, in which she served as Red Three. She was shot down by two TIE Interceptors in the attempt to lead them away
- "Anyway, that A-wing pilot is a British woman who was voiced over by an American guy." – Pablo Hidalgo (post on Theforce.net forums Feburary 28, 2008.)
Although played by a woman in Return of the Jedi, Sila Kott was later dubbed by a male actor. She should not be confused with Green Leader Arvel Crynyd, a similar-looking A-wing pilot who was played by a man, Hilton McRae. Nevertheless, Crynyd's line "Three of them coming in, twenty degrees!" is attributed to "Red Three" in both Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays and the junior novelization of Return of the Jedi, although in the film, the line is actually spoken by Crynyd after Kott's A-wing is destroyed.
In Return of the Jedi, Kott responds to a command from Wedge Antilles of "Red Three, Red Two, pull in." Later in the Battle of Endor, a Y-wing pilot is called "Red Two" by Antilles, thereby suggesting that Kott is Red Three. However, a Hasbro action figure set names Red Two as Kott's callsign,and the line "Got it!" is similarly attributed to Red Two in both The Annotated Screenplays and the Return of the Jedi junior novelization. This article defers to Return of the Jedi itself and assumes that Kott is Red Three.
In 2011, original, unedited footage of the actress playing Sila Kott was included on the Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-Ray release, speaking dialogue in her actual voice after being prompted by an off-camera crewmember."
Hasbro released an action figure of Sila Kott in 2011 in the exclusive "Battle Over Endor" 4 Pack, which also included Lt. Oxixo, Lt. Ekelarc Yong abd R5P9.
Here is the product desciption from Amazon:
"Bravery. Skill. Loyalty. These are defining characteristics of the starfighter pilots on both sides of the conflict at the Battle of Endor. Whether they are Rebels or Imperials, these elite pilots are all focused on the same goal victory. They are deeply aware that they are deciding the future of the galaxy, and will do everything they can to complete their mission.Get ready for a battle of epic proportions! These four intricately detailed, exclusive action figures are all prepared to fight to the very end for the fate of the universe. Who of these fierce and skilled warriors will triumph The battle is in your hands! Fourpack includes Lt. Oxixo TIE Fighter Pilot, Sila Kott (Red Two) AWing Pilot, Lt. Ekelarc Yong (Gray Three) YWing Pilot and R5P9 (Ekelarc Yongs Astromech Droid)."
