Star Wars Falcon comparison '96 - '16

When I was a kid I bought a Millenium Falcon toy for $7 at a sporting goods store back in the mid 90's. just bought another for the X Wing Miniatures game. Comparing the two models to see the accuracy and differences.

Hey op, I have the exact same $7 toy. I've kept it with me since I was little since it was my favorite toy.

That's awesome! I have a few trinkets I've managed to keep with me, this one was prioritized obviously

Speaking of accuracy, why is the exhaust soot fanned out like that? Shouldn't all the soot lines be parallel?

That's actually a really good point. Never thought of that.

Space. Vacuum.

I would say no, since there's no air to push the smoke straight back, where it would be flying most of the time in space.

Even in space, anything that would cause such a reaction relative to forward momentum would make them all face the same way.
