They should look for the parts where they keep the orange and green paint for their fighters. They seem to have plenty of that!

Now this will really mess with you, regarding the rotating turret: Finn's gunner chair is upside-down. In ANH, the guns "hang" from the top of the window. Finn's gun comes up from the bottom of the window here. They fixed this for The Last Jedi when Rey was in the chair. The really weird thing is that in Solo, the gun comes "up" from the bottom again.Artificial gravity deck plates in SW also work while ships are parked in gravity environments, like planets. Hence Finn jumping into and sitting in the Falcon's lower gunport while staring directly at the ground through the window.
Why does no one use the upper gun in any of these movies?
EDIT: I knew I saw an official picture showing the gun turrets rotating! This is from the FatHead wall sticker of the Falcon.

They don't want to risk shooting the radar dish accidentally in the heat of battle.

Apparently Ducain fitted a roating core when he owned the Falcon

Gannis Ducain
Gannis Ducain was a Kajain'sa'Nikto male gunrunner who stole the Millennium Falcon from Han Solo, only to have it stolen from him later by the Irving Boys. He later had a change of heart from his less-than-noble ways and joined the Resistance. Gannis Ducain[4] was a Kajain'sa'Nikto[1] male[2]...

Yeah I posted about that a couple of pages back
#7,812
It's strange, JJ went back to Joe Johnston's sketch
But then RJ went back to the OT layout,...who wants to bet it will switch back in the new movie
I colour corrected that Fathead image,....it looked a bit green

I get a little green whenever I see that rotating core. I am also, clearly, a fathead.

Well they're killing off every other character. Might as well finish the Falcon off.

Nooooo...!!!
Those of you who know Bandai customer service... Is there any recourse if a part is missing from one of my sprue runners? Like, not loose in the baggie -- flat-out gone, didn't lose it, it was never there. Smallish but important. E25 for the speeder bike -- one half of the insert piece that goes in the bottom of the engine assembly that holds the footrest "horseshoe". Because one side is missing, that hook isn't present. I can probably scratch-build something, but I thought I'd ask first.
Bluefin will do it, you need a picture of the box showing their logo and receipt/proof if purchase I believe. There's a form on their site if I'm not mistaken
They did in the very first movie- Han and Luke were using both turrets when escaping from the Death Star...

Well, yeah, but that's the last time anyone uses the upper gun (except for deleted scenes in RotJ.)
It seems like moving up to the other gun when the lower gun is damaged would have come in handy when Finn was in the guns, or even when Beckett used them in Solo. I'll say Rey should have used the belly gun in TLJ, since she was shooting at ground targets.
It does seem odd they do not travel up/over to the dorsal gun when we have seen twice now (TFA, Solo) the ventral one being taken out during combat.
