For the Rebel’s risky attack plan to work, they had to shoot a proton torpedo straight down the Death Star’s exposed exhaust port a shot described by another pilot in the briefing as “impossible.”
Each starship pilot, including Luke, is equipped with a targeting computer. When Luke Skywalker leads a squadron of Rebel Alliance pilots to assault the Death Star, we get to see the targeting computer in action.
A target was considered vulnerable when it was aligned with the electronic crosshairs of a targeting computer's gun-sights. The targeting computer has a prominent role in the first movie, “A New Hope.” Wookieepedia describes the targeting computer as:Ī targeting computer (also called a target device) was a device used aboard starships to aid pilots in targeting their weapons. Since we work with computers, let’s look at one of the most important computers in the film, the X-wing targeting computer. Given how much exciting technology there is in the fictional Star Wars universe, picking just one technology can be difficult. We want to take this opportunity to look at the technology of one of our favorite movie franchises.
Today is known the world over as Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you).
