Truthfully, the fine molds 1/144 falcon also had a slight toe-in
The Falcon is full of enigmas and contradictions or plain sillyness, but we love itWho cares... in reality the falcon mandidbles should be parallel to carry cargo. Lol

I realize that it's wrong in many ways. But it is slightly better than the 1/72Not really a fair comparison,....& the toe-in is VERY minimal
This is it next to the model it is supposed to be depicting,...look at the jaw,. the cockpit length....the mandible length.....it just looks so wrong

Well, the first one I got was the 1/144. My biggest complaint was the hull arc and the radar dish. Not the mandiblesI'm still not seeing it...a little bit better of wrong is still wrong
....sigh.......but the main thing....
The Bandai 1/72 looks perfect,.....so no need to sweat

I really doubt we'll ever see the x wing without the motor. That motor was integral to the whole thing and they would really be designing it from scratch

I think the Falcon moved freight two ways- small expensive things which could fit into the interior through the hatch and larger cargo modules gripped by the front mandibles. To me that makes the ship design make sense- the off set cockpit to see around what he mandibles where holding and the design of the mandibles themselves with all that specialized (and symmetrical) equipment along the inside edges.
People have been going nuts since the seventies trying to assign some function to every random greebly ILM stuck on the filming model at 3am, but a lot of the basic shapes are pretty well thought out.
