the naboo fighter canopy and then make the back part of it slope into the
fuselage, kinda like they did on the A-wing.

Or you could take two of those canopies and put one facing forward and another
backwards creating a bubble canopie.

If you don't mind a squarish canopy, Terry Keller has a great solution here:

(...) That would work, and it has been done, but not for an A-10 Warthog. The model it was done on is Thad Jantzi's F-16 Fighting Falcon. (It would also work on most other aircraft in the USAF inventory - The F-15, the F-14, the F-5's front piece..) (...)
