As was seen in Star Wars A New Hope the Millennium Falcon has dorsal and ventral laser cannons. During the Battle of Endor I can not recall ever seeing these weapons used, even though they probably would have been very helpful (such as when being chased by TIE fighters through the superstructure of the Death Star 2).
Was there some legitimate reason for why these guns were not used?
Answer
According to this forum thread:
Yes, the turrets were manned during the Battle of Endor. As mentioned above, those shots were deleted, however. An image in the STAR WARS: THE ACTION FIGURE ARCHIVE shows the man seated behind Lando in one of the turrets.
This is confirmed on Wookiepedia list of cut scenes in ROTJ
There are cut shots of rebel gunners aboard the Millennium Falcon.
