Also, why is the Death Star up-side-down in this shot?
There is no upside down in space. It’s all three-dimensional, remember? 😛
Sure, but I still think it’s weird that they choose to show it from that orientation. Also doesn’t that technically mean that we’re seeing the planet with the north pole facing down (relatively speaking)?
It’s a neat shot anyway, it just struck me as kinda odd.
It’s hard to fire down when your gun is pointing up… probably.
