Important question…
In ROTJ does Grey Leader die then re-appear during the finale?
But are we talking OT or SE version?
Now now…
Okay so I’m pretty hung over and we watched ROTJ and 2am in a haze of booze. This is my life. But! What I mean is that he dies when like when a bunch of them are killed, and then after some more throne room antics they cut back to the pilots heading for the superstructure - I’m sure he’s alive again for a second. Then Wedge says “good shot Red 2” but it’s a Y-Wing?

Without having the movie in front of me, I’d speculate that the editors used a different shot of the same pilot and thought nobody would notice. Just like they thought nobody would notice all the stock Tie Pilot cockpit shots from Episode IV, or previously unused footage of Imperials running through Death Star corridors.
