Some of it seems to be people making spot repairs (possibly after the communication disc gets hit).

Those big guns could be replaced with fire fighting equipment, with a bit of screen wobble they could be very useable.

I proposed the idea of fire consuming the Falcon in the Wishlist and Save Lando threads which could give Calrissian a reason for self sacrifice.

If you factor in Jejerrod's idea of flooding some of the pipes (with radiation, fire, fuel etc) it could lead to interesting new possibilities.
