First, none of these ships have any kind of thrust under the wings or sides that would rotate them about their longitudinal axis, causing a bank, and if they did have such things, it still wouldn't matter because banking doesn't create a horizontal component of lift in space! There's no atmosphere, so no lift! All they really need to do is yaw about the vertical axis with vectored thrust from the rear and then head in a new direction, but that would look funny.
Also, since there's really no up or down in space, why is it that when two starships meet, they just happen to be both upright? Why isn't one upside down or slanted relative to the other?
And of course there's also no sound in space, but we all forgive this small detail for the sake of some cool explosions!
You can except the Explosions in space, but not the flying?
Its Because its Fantasy and in a Galaxy Far Far Away......Besides George used Actual Footage of planes in W.W 2 and basiclly put his Tie Fighters and X Wings over the Actual Footage...
