I know about this, but it's never utilized in the games nor demonstrated in
the films. I guess you could say it spurs the imagination as far as playing

films. After all, you can't get much more "official" than that. And it
still REALLY irks me that NO ONE ever seems to get the laser colors right.
It's just one of those things that itches me like nothing else.

An exception would be nice. If the B-Wing box were designed to be presented
vertically, I think that would make it more interesting and eye-catching
