It's like he does things because they look cool, without thinking of the ramificationsThese arguments are exactly why I was opposed to JJ Abrams doing this movie. I knew he would really f with this iconic ship just like he did the Enterprise.
As I said earlier, someone in the design department has noticed the corner cutting of the OT gunner stations & they've fixed it......

Why don't we wait to see if JJ addresses how the turrets spin relative to the apparently new gun mount before we start with the facepalms? I recall people complaining that the extra emitters on Kylo's saber could just be cut off, whereas in the latest trailer that looks to be not the case. Wouldn't it be cool if the SW7 design team came up with an answer to the turret riddle (which never worked in the OT) that actually made sense?
Yes

Well, but then the position of the Windows in Front of the gunner will change, because the windows are set outside the disk-axis!Mechanically all that needs to happen is the disk where the gun is mounted rotates , nothing else has to change !
Has anyone mentioned the photo-etch? I'm gonna wait until they exist before I do that part. I'm gonna play the long game on this oneMy Bandai arrived today.
Now I'm kinda scared to try lighting it.
Probably just build it OOB - unless I can find some photo-etch grates for the cooling tower thingies on the engine deck.

You know, it will be addressed. This is one of the biggest, most glaring inconsistencies in the SW universe; every fanboy knows about it, including JJ. He turned the turret around, you know it's no accident. Y'all have 31 days to figure it out before the official canon solution is revealed.Well, but then the position of the Windows in Front of the gunner will change, because the windows are set outside the disk-axis!
