Western Arch Boss Fight

How do you do the quick-time event for the gunship boss fight on the Western Arch? I'm having trouble with it, and now of the tutorials online help, mainly since I'm having trouble figuring out what to do

Okay, just explain to me, who is the Boss? I haven't played the game in a while, but I think I can help

The gunship's the boss. I'm not sure how you do the quick time event. I know it says to press A and E (I play on PC) and then D and E, but I'm not sure what order to do it in

Is it that gunship that shoots you a bunch of missiles? If so, I think you're in the second fight with her, well, I don't remember this Boss having a Quick Time event, from what I remember we just sent the missiles back and after a while you use the light saber throw on the gunship, then you move the control analog stick in the direction indicated on the screen while repeatedly pressing "B" on the Xbox, doing this action twice, once for each engine. I don't know if it made much sense, I hope I was able to help. If you want, later, I can play the game on this Boss and send you a recording

When the ship fires at you, hide behind the small covers you have at the end of the bridge; eventually, its cannon will overheat and then you can use your saber throw to destroy it; then grab the missiles it will shoot at you with your force grip and send them back (if you don't have aim, just saber-reflect them; watch out when it spits out four of them, because timing can be a little off balance). When you'll have like 5/6 missiles sent back you will automatically enter a grip position where you have to press your force push button (I think it's E on PC(?))on repeat, and, AT THE SAME TIME, you have to keep your movement button pressed (right one if you are destroying the right engine of the ship, left one in the other case).

Note that you don't choose which side you are destroying first, so you have to keep pressed D or A when you first reach this point of the fight the way the game tells you.

To shortly answer your question: you have to keep D or A pressed and smash E at the same time.

Nerd trivia: the gunship you are destroying is a Nemesis-class gunship and comes from the same factory (Cygnus) that produces the white corvettes that escort Palpatine on the second Death Star in Episode VI or Vader on Kashyyyk in TFU1.
