So many of those Hoth pics look like personal photos by random Rebels. I love it!
The one of the squadron with the laser turret looks like an official squadron group photo with the Sergeant off to the left. Could be framed with a plaque: Squadron 138 - North RidgeI’d never seen or heard of R2 washing the X-Wing! I really wish that was in the film.
I’m guessing from the camera angle Artoo’s actions might have been misconstrued, not to mention blow a PG rating. 😄
