It also seems rather odd how easily Luke was put in charge of a squadron at the Battle of Yavin over his more experienced wingmen. I guess that's simply because of Biggs's "best bush pilot" statement. I bet he's kicking himself in heaven now! "Damnit, I should have said I was the best, and maybe I wouldn't have died!"
