And don’t get me started on those two seated TIE Fighters in TFA with a seat for a rear gunner. Like that makes any sense or would ever be useful in a fight. It is the most contrived thing I have ever seen and was just put their so Finn and Poe could escape on a single ship together. It was silly and didn’t make complete sense like when the Rebellion went into battle with two seated speeders with a rear facing gunner who didn’t have any blasters and could only shoot a harpoon with a tow cable which turned out to be exactly what they needed to take down the AT-ATs. That was so not contrived at all and made perfect sense. Luke’s plan to attack the AT-AT’s by approaching them head on rather then from the side was also pure genius. He probably won another medal for implementing that brilliant strategy.
