I never understood why they needed to fly all the way down that narrow trench, they're in space, just enter the trench right next to the exhaust port.
I'm guessing that it's a transversal gun turret angle thing, where from a distance a head-on approach would get a trajectory of turbolasers that'd butcher anything approaching that way.
Or rule of cool, which is more likely.
Making your spaceships operate on WW2 dogfight logic is definitely cool lol
The Last Jedi had plenty that could be criticized, but the "bombs dropping in space" part was such a Reddity thing to fuss about: it was just more applied ww2 in space.
Fuckin CinemaSins brained dorks lol
ding
Star Wars was never supposed to be hard scifi and even as a kid I may have wondered about the trench run, but I realized the movies would've been much worse without explosions in space.
Or sound effects in space, or visible "laser" projectiles in space.
