You're right though. The part where the toppled AT-AT falls down 'face-first' and is consequently blown up by T-47's always felt... 'ugly'.
Did you manage to fix that shot already, Ady?
I think getting cockpit-views from DS2 or Ex. would be difficult, since you'd need shots of people falling down into the wind-shield or dying or something, which you don't. Not impossible, just... difficult. :)
