We soar away from Tatooine!
I was never quite sure where the Falcon's artillery was positioned. I guessed top and bottom. But then, how do Luke and Han look over their shoulders at one another when sat at their guns later in the film? Hmmm... perhaps the artificial gravity is pointing differently in the gun emplacements? Nope, still doesn't make sense.
Perhaps you can help me out readers; in the comments section below!
Art Notes
Yes, I've seen the light! A marker that does lasers!
My Atheist dad proved there was a God when he brought this home from the office stationery cupboard
Quite a bit of effort was put into the top panel here. Liberal use of highlighter pen too. Couldn't resist it.

No idea if that makes any sense...it does in my head!
I like your drawing of the Falcon! Very impressive
Thanks! 9 year old me would be pleased.
Nah, it still doesn't make sense to me. They sit in seats and the guns are over their heads. There seems to be a tube between them - no, I don't get it. I'm sure someone on the whole internet has done a schematic of the ship though. Originally I thought they were on opposite sides.
Anyway,

...Thanks internet. I think the 'in universe' explanation IS that the gravity is shifted 90 degrees for the gun wells, which are clearly top and bottom of the ship. It's almost as if the Correllian engineers were less interested in the practical realities of making an efficient spacecraft and more interested in what looks cool on screen...
Hmm... still doesn't make sense does it? Not to worry.
I hope that helps somehow!
