Oh I loved the explanation of that I thought the hologram scene was great and I don't think it would have been as good with a lesser explanation tbh, but also I just think it adds so much to A New Hope, and without ret-conning anything, I really admired that they were able to do that. I think as well that in building the exploitation flaw, they'd have to prioritise it being kept hidden over being easy to hit, and it would probably be difficult to achieve both.
