Blade Runner might bring back Sean Young and honestly why?

Sean Young played Rachael in the original Blade Runner and now rumors say she’ll bring back the role in Blade Runner 2049 … which doesn’t make sense.

There may be a Sean Young cameo in Blade Runner 2049, according to the New York Daily News. Buckle in, folks, because I’m about to tell you why that makes no sense whatsoever. So basically, replicants don’t live that long. That’s the whole point. They think they have these memories that make them believe they’ve lived full lives, but they don’t.

So for Sean Young, who played Rachael in the original Blade Runner to make a cameo? Now when it is 35 years later and she’s older? It makes absolutely no sense. But a lot of this movie doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense.

I’m one of those ‘late to life’ Blade Runner fans because I started loving Harrison Ford at such a young age and it wasn’t really appropriate. So it took me, as an adult, to watch it. But that means that I have a unique perspective on how I actually feel about the movie.

I think Rick is quite sexist (even if Rachael is a replicant). The movie, in general, makes you feel more for these replicants then the humans surrounding them. But we feel so greatly for them because they don’t get to live their lives. They’re stunted by these short life spans and so for them to bring Rachael back in any capacity doesn’t really make sense.

Unless she’s coming back in a flashback with Rick (which would mean lots of CGI for both of the actors), I’m not into having her be in the movie at all. Rachael wouldn’t have survived. That’s the entire point of the replicants.
