Saga How does the gravity of the gunner positions work on the Millennium Falcon?

Because the top gunner position has the seat facing straight up, while the bottom gunner position has the seat facing straight down.

In space I guess it doesn't really matter, since there's no up or down in space.

But when the MF is in a planet's atmosphere, like in TFA on Jakku, Finn doesn't fall face down on the glass when he goes to the bottom gunner position, and this is before he puts on a seatbelt. How does the gravity work on the MF?

 

It only wouldn't matter in space if it were a zero-gravity environment, but what we saw onscreen both in ANH and the deleted scenes of ROJ seemed to suggest an independent area of artificial gravity, judging by the movement of the protagonists.

If we accept TFA's suggestions this area of artificial gravity is constantly present and even "overrides" the natural and larger gravity of a celestial object nearby.

 

As Pablo said, we shouldn't expect Star Wars to stick to our laws of physics.

 

Why not - most (99%) of the phenomena observed that seem to defy our laws of physics can be rationalized with advanced technology and within reason.

And the Falcon does have artificial gravity like any other big ship, why should it not be possible to have alternating areas of artificial gravity within a ship.

Mr. Hidalgo seems to suffer from TFA-rationalizing-syndrome, he shouldn't be using that as an excuse to retroactively water down the laws of physics in the OT.

Heck, even Carl Sagan only found fault with ANH's use of "parsec" as it seemed to indicate a measurement of speed rather than distance. He didn't even wonder about the gun turrets of the Falcon.

 

Just from the visual evidence of the first film, I assumed artificial gravity in the turrets was oriented about 90 degrees from the rest of the ship. When Brian Daley wrote his Han Solo adventure novels way back when, that's what he said too.
