IIRC, then I read somewhere that X-Wings had particle shielding.

So the issue of drag on the hull is redundant since the particle 
shielding would be deflecting the dust/gas particles before they get 
anywhere near the hull.

Point two is that *it's a film*  Hollywood has never really been known to 
care two hoots for realism if they can make something which looks good.

Just my 2p

Bye for now,
