In reality, the CIA would be the ones funding the assassination of foreign journalists ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
would that be "The Dam Busters"? Only watched it the once, but now that you mention it i can see the similarities, especially with the.. bomb guider...
Yeah, that's it! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dam_Busters_(film)
"The attack on the Death Star in the climax of the film Star Wars is a deliberate and acknowledged homage to the climactic sequence of The Dam Busters. In the former film, rebel pilots have to fly through a trench while evading enemy fire and fire a proton torpedo at a precise distance from the target to destroy the entire base with a single explosion; if one run fails, another run must be made by a different pilot. In addition to the similarity of the scenes, some of the dialogue is nearly identical. Star Wars also ends with an Elgarian march, like The Dam Busters.[55] The same may be said of 633 Squadron, in which a squadron of de Havilland Mosquitos must drop a bomb on a rock overhanging a key German factory at the end of a Norwegian fjord.[56] Gilbert Taylor, responsible for special effects photography on The Dam Busters, was the director of photography for Star Wars."
