A reader helpfully points out the
Jedi Order Page in the Star Wars Databank, which affirms that there are in fact
female Jedi. The page even uses the pronoun "she" at one point:
According to the Jedi Code, a Jedi Master may only have one Padawan at a time. Near the end of the Padawan's training, she must undergo trials before ascending to the rank of Knight.
So I retract my earlier threat to call George Lucas something unpleasant. It still would've been nice if one of the female Jedi masters had some lines, but what can you do. At least we didn't have to endure Jar Jar very much (I think he made a brief appearance at the end), something for which I am abundantly grateful.
