Another question: did you add the scrolling starfield to the Falcon's gunnery windows for effect or realism? Because I don't think it's actually more realistic. After all, we don't see the stars scroll by that fast when looking up at the sky from a fast-moving vehicle on Earth. If you did it for effect, that makes sense. It actually looks better, but it didn't dawn on me that it detracted from the realism until today. Then again, so do the sound effects in space, but I wouldn't suggest removing those.

it was added for effect. The Falcon always looked like it was just sitting there during the attack so, by adding a faster moving starfield, it gives the effect that they are moving at speed.
