Luke's experience blowing up womp rats might make him a fine pilot, but it doesn't mean he'd be good at commanding other people and leading an attack. Although Luke does seem to know what he's doing when things get hot.

Well, a good performance would have given Luke priority in attacking the Death Star, but you're right about the command issue. Perhaps Wedge should have lead the group but with Luke in the lead. Unless, of course, all of Luke's group were brand new recruits and so you had newbies commanding newbies.
