Oh, the bombs were meant for another ship, not the planets surface? Then indeed gravity makes little sense, or at least it’s a very straightforward and uninspired port of the concept of bomber planes.
But I guess they wanted it to fit in with everything else… :(
I could be wrong but I could’ve sworn that while they were fighting above a planet, they were still “dropping” bombs on a ship below them.
So if the rebels have a ship that works only if you happen to be fighting above a planet with a ship below you, that’s even sillier!
