And I’ve always disliked the Millennium Falcon’s design, mainly the cockpit placement making no sense.
And that’s my point (along with both side’s vehicles on Hoth). You forfeit your right to bitch about these TFA “problems” unless you acknowledge the same in the OT.
That’s not really the same thing. That’s a rear gun, and there should be a separate gunner for that. That’s how it was designed, albeit being a little weird. TIE fighters weren’t designed to hold a rotating turret, they were designed to fire two front facing rapid-fire canons. This is the problem, not that two seated TIEs are bad, but adding a function to a ship that wasn’t designed for it is just stupid. The speeders were designed with the both sides thing, TIE fighters were originally not designed for a rotating turret. And I did acknowledge that.
