What an rear end in a top hat. People died to cover your rear end in that trench luke. What in the gently caress were you even thinking.

 "I heard the voice of a dead old man who told me to turn the sensors off! He said everything would be fine if I trusted my feelings!" I am so loving pissed at you right now and you come at me with this nonsense. What the gently caress. Did your oxygen spring a leak or something when you were on the run? I need to know you're just brain damaged and not actually loving defending this right now because if you aren't delusional from air deprivation I swear to god.

Luke was an agent of the empire. He gained the rebels trust and got into a position where they relied on him, only to sabotage their big attack.

it doesn't matter, those targeting computers are cheap Incom crap, and hitting a two-meter target at that speed is impossible, even for a computer

Luke fuming that they made him fly all the way to Hoth in a tiny, cramped X-wing just so some Mon Calamari fucker he's never met can wring him out.

Pretty sure Palpatine celebrated by cruising over to Dantooine and blowing that up too. Then he probably cut the ribbon at a buffet or some poo poo.

We're spending a lot of time thinking about how we don't have Yavin 4 any more and I think we need to be spending more time thinking about how the Empire do have a Death Star still. Two, maybe, at this point.

So did Luke not go around for another pass? Because even if it managed to get a shot off at Yavin, there were no fighters left to protect the exhaust. Did Wedge get it?

Because even if it managed to get a shot off at Yavin, there were no fighters left to protect the exhaust. if memory serves, the alliance was so under-funded that each x-wing was only carrying the two torpedoes. so there is no second pass. wedge or someone else could have tried, though

I think there was some comic that did this, but I can’t recall if it was officially authorized like the one with Han crashing on Earth and being killed (With Indiana Jones finding his skeleton) and Chewie becoming Sasquatch or something a fan did.

"Luke, the X-wing won't fire with the targeting system disengaged. It wouldn't even make any sense: fire what, at where? I don't know if there was a gas leak in the cockpit or whatever, but you just started babbling on comms about some force and some old man, then flew right over the target."

*Luke, struggling with the button to turn off the targeting computer* "ENTER PASSCODE." "ENTER PASSCODE." "ENTER PASSCODE." "Obi-wan are you gonna maybe tell me what I need here or-" "Dunno what to tell ya luke, it was definitely a lever when I was flying"

As a kid, I thought that the whole deal with the targeting computer was that you see all these other pilots focusing on their targeting computers and just getting gunned down. It was a definite pattern. I think the idea might've been that they were too busy focusing on the computer to dodge the fighters behind them. Rogue Squadron actually added to the idea by implementing targeting computers in a way that explicitly messes with your ability to see obstacles in the trench, so it's real easy to crash. It makes sense, seeing as how firing the torpedoes is a complicated process that distracts a lot from flying. Most of the other games made torpedoes homing weapons by default, because they were under the misapprehension that you're supposed to somehow hit other fighters with bombs. Honestly they should've had a craft with a second seat for somebody else to muck around with handling the torpedoes. That's what they did in Dambusters. And then maybe the rebellion is only going with single pilots because it doesn't have enough butts for seats. Everything about the Y-Wing's design seems like it should be designed with room for another seat in there, the dedicated bomber job, the longer cockpit with a middle-entrance, and the goddamn turret that would be near-useless otherwise. So really, it's Han Solo's fault for not deciding to come back sooner so they'd have somebody to cover their asses while they focused on their targeting computers. Or even better, maybe if Han decided to join the assault from the beginning, they could've had two extra butts in seats to give some of those Y-Wings a dedicated bomber/gunner.

You won't believe this, I had the shot lined up perfectly. PERFECTLY. All of a sudden what do I hear in my ear? "HURRR let's blow this thing and go home". Totally distracts me and fucks up my shot. And like wow what a great idea, blow up the death star. Never would've thought of that on my own. I thought we were all just there to go sight seeing. Han Solo is such an rear end in a top hat.

This was explicitly the case in earlier drafts, and it was originally designed with room for more crew (a pilot, two gunners, and an astromech).   In the second draft, Luke flies one of these instead of an X-wing, and doesn't even make the killing shot at all - it's actually Threepio in the gunner's seat whose robotic brain is advanced enough to make the necessary calculations - the Force doesn't even factor into it.
