I'm new to Star Wars, so  have a lot of questions.  This one concerns the
banana peel pieces on Anakin's pod, and the backwards appearance of the
engines.  My sister suggested that the model would look better with the engines
on backwards, and it does.  It actually has a very aerodynamic look that way.
The cones don't look right on the back.  It also looks like the banana peels
(when placed on the front) would only make it go slower, is that their
function?

(...) Well, yes, in a way. When opened, they'll slow down the side their on, and the ship will turn in that direction. As for looking better backwards, I don't doubt it looks better, but it dosn't follow the version from the movie very well anymore. (...) (24 years ago, 24-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)
