Thanks, I'll read that thread. Memory is a weird thing. General Veers death was a deleted scene, so the idea has certainly been out there. How I filled it in to remembering it I'm not sure.
For a long time I mis-remembered a scene in ROTJ where ships crash into the death star shield because they could not pull up in time. I watched many versions of the film looking for it and it was never there. Later I realized this was from the Radio Drama's which I used to listen to on a 7" record back in the day.
