==Origin and design== Colin Cantwell, who also designed the saga's TIE fighters, initially designed the Y-wing with a large bubble turret for a gunner. However, the dome did not appear properly when filmed against bluescreen and subsequent designs omitted the turret. According to Colin Cantwell's estate, he was directly inspired by the Grumman TBF Avenger when designing the Y-wing, borrowing elements such as the turret gunner seated behind the pilot.
