The X-Wing guns point forwards, giving the rebel pilots little choice but to dodge bullets… but that is precisely the purpose (in my opinion) of the two wing men assigned to each attack run.  They bought time for the wing leader to torpedo the exhaust vent.  Not exactly a fun job for the two wingmen assigned to protect him when you have Vader and his Imperial wingmen up your ass.  It must have been a lot of fun for Vader, on the other hand, with the previous two attack runs destroyed without any fear of returned rebel fire.  You can understand Biggs’ feelings then, concerning the arrangement.  More on this subject next Friday, as I feel I need to get on my soap box about this in a lot more detail.

On another note, check out the photo on the left.  Fancy dress or cheap “human” FX with a black back drop?  Either way, there is something strangely awesome about it.  I found this online.  I have no details on the name of the fan who made this.  If you do, then please share.
