Tie Fighter Controls

Having recently watched the Star Wars series with Delta, I was reminded of how odd the flight controls are for the Tie Fighters. Or maybe just Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter. Or maybe it’s just the targeting control.

Either way, it always struck me as awkward how he does the little twisting movement with his fingers, like he’s unscrewing a bottle cap. It would be pretty easy to mess up when you’re in the middle of a dogfight, I would think.

Here is what it looks like normally:

And this is what it reminds me of:

It never was really clear to me what he is supposed to be doing, but to me, he’s practicing chalking up his cue stick.

Therefore through this Jacob’s wrongdoing will be forgiven; And this will be the full price of the pardoning of his sin: When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones; When Asherim and incense altars will not stand.
