Sorry Ronster, I'm still not convinced. I don't think we'd see the 'mandible' in the 'slug' POV shot you've shown at the bottom of your post either...as I stiil think it would be too 'angled away' to the left of that cockpit view to be seen...and would still be hidden by the lower interior cockpit wall section on the left of that shot.

And that goes for *all* the shots looking out of the altered ESB/ROTJ cockpit too, as well as the cockpit seen in the original movie.

I just think the 'mandible' is too 'angled away' from the interior cockpit POVs seen in the movies, and I find looking at a 'birds-eye' view of the Falcon's shape helps to judge it better -

However...if it turns out adywan ends up showing the 'mandible' in any of his final OT:Revisited Falcon cockpit shots, then I'll be the first to admit to you that I was mistaken on this issue. :)

By the way...while it was neat that adywan added in the 'missing spar' to the original STAR WARS Falcon cockpit windows, does anyone happen to know why the makers *added* it to the design of the ESB cockpit version in the first place? Just curious.

Still, all this talk of the Falcon's cockpit gives me an excuse to show this awesome version I recently came across - http://imgur.com/UizeGTo
