as a matter of fact, I think in the 04 special edition of Empire, you can STILL see through a part of the cockpit. And I don't mean the windows

What I always thought was funny was how the pan and scan version of the original trilogy cropped the picture so that the transparent cockpits were never even an issue, but in the fullscreen version of the SE, they made sure to pan the image as far to the left as possible just so you could see the nontransparent cockpit!
