This is how it always was meant to work, but they never demonstrated it, also with the turret motorised when your done it would rotate back to the forward facing position so you can get to the ladder no matter where it is ........see simples
Or, and I'm just spitballing here, the MPC kit featured a toy-like function never intended by the filmmakers, kind of like the rotating Slave I cockpit. Then along comes JJ and he says, "I want the Falcon to fire back at the TIE as it's being chased. Just point that laser cannon backwards." It's filmmaking expediency, which I have no problem with because I can easily suspend disbelief. What I have less patience for is when stuff like this is given a free pass by the same people who would have an absolute cow if this was a PT vehicle or it was made by George Lucas.
