^ Oh noes! It's Atlas-Jawa! ^
Within the film, it's never specifically shown or stated where the bridge is in relation to the rest of the ship. Therefore, I've never really thought or cared much about it and have no qualms with the current shot.
Perhaps they should have taken the films themselves into account when making these encyclopedias and whatnot. If anything, I say leave the shot alone and print yourselves a photoshopped page for the book that fits with the movie :P
