The E-wing's overhead gun complicates its cockpit

The original E-wing places its third gun above the cockpit, with parts of the weapon attached to sections that move separately. An initial description of a sliding cockpit is corrected: the cockpit opens upwards while the gun moves forwards. The objections extend to pilot escape, structural support, and power supply, with the underside of the central hull suggested as a better location. The version seen in Ahsoka removes the overhead gun entirely. Its separation from the wing guns also raises a targeting concern within Star Wars' depicted weapons physics.
