    Sure it is, in the real world there are entire disciplines of mathematical theory dealing with those topics.

      I thought there was a line about calculating the route for hyperdrive and it taking a minute, so maybe they could but wouldn’t do the math fast enough. Mean it sounds plausible for the 70s when Douglas Adams was going on about digital watches in his books, nowadays it takes a bit to believe that’d be the situation.

        I mean, from an engineering and mathematical perspective the gun aiming problem and bipedal droid mechanics are very similar in a lot of ways, except the bipedal droid is much more difficult.

        Ultimately, though, who cares? Nothing about Star Wars makes scientific sense and Luke shooting guns from a manual turret is more fun than a computer casually blowing up the tie fighters.
