In Episode IV, their plan to provide coverage for the main X-Wing to go down the trench and shoot the target. So what do they do, they send two X-Wings on both sides. Considering they could only shoot forward, what sense did this make? Even after Darth Vader and his escort (which made the same stupid mistake) started behind these guys, no one thought to do what Han did, come from behind? These people are just sitting out in their X-Wings on the outer reaches awaiting orders to fly into the trench to try their luck and no one figured out that they could swoop up behind. I know it was supposed to be Han's big moment, but still.

On another note, did you notice that both admirals that gave briefings on the Death Star had the same voice?

I hadn't noticed the admirals voices. Would have made the whole battle scene much shorter. Literary license I guess.

I never got that either along with several other parts that made no sense in relation to the battle scenes like "the guns, they've stopped."

You must know by now your article goes to the nitty-gritty of the subject. Your clarity leaves me wanting to know more.

I actually thought that it was only me that found out about them having the same voice. At one point, I started feeling like I'm being paranoid but that's one hell of a good observation.

I was disappointed with how things went with Han in that situation. It should have been hit big moment.

This is actually how you get moved to see all there is to be seen in the entire season. If you haven't watched it all by now, then the ball is in your court to make the move. One thing you should know is that you will enjoy it.

Yes, you're right. Both admirals have the same voice and my thoughts have been that maybe the voice was used by one person.
