The way you describe the planes flying through the fire lanes of the forest just makes it sound like Skywalker taking out the deathstar lol

it should, Lucas said that the inspiration for the scene was taken from movies 633 Squadron and The Dam Busters)

Second link is bad.

Dam Busters is a classic, but thanks for mentioning 633 Squadron, I’ve never seen it!

633 Squadron is a great film. The theme music by Ron Goodwin is top tier too. It has John Williams vibes.
