Hey,

I hope that I have posted this in the right section. I haven’t noticed anyone else bringing this up (maybe no one cares?), but anyway…I have been watching through the Force Awakens many times as I am working on a Fan Edit. I noticed that the display (the red screen) on Finn’s turret appears to be wrong.

If you watch the whole escape from Jakku scene, it seems like they were using the arrows as an indicator for aiming (which would probably make more sense anyway) but from ANH, arrows actually indicate direction of shots and whether or not they hit their target and where.

The best way to show these differences is in the following two videos.

ANH - 2:25 - The Tie gets hit and an arrow shows direction of shot into the wing and starts to flash.

TFA - 2:17 - Finn hasn’t fired a single shot and there are arrows flying around the screen in different directions
TFA - 3:09 - Arrow Moves to Ties center and stops there. It hasn’t been hit by Finn, suggesting that its where he is aiming.
TFA - 4:15 - Arrow moves to center of Tie and starts flashing like crazy, showing Finn that he now needs to fire.

Maybe I am wrong and again, I don’t know if anyone actually cares, but I hate continuity errors lol
