He was about to do the same to Skywalker when one of Vader's wingmen suddenly exploded. [[Han Solo]], instead of fleeing the battle as he had previously intended, had decided to bring the ''Millennium Falcon'' into the fight. In the confusion, Vader's other wingman collided with Vader's fighter, killing himself and sending Vader hurtling away into space. Now with a clear shot, Luke decided not to use his targeting computer and instead relied on [[the Force]] to guide his shot at the exhaust port, sinking two torpedoes down the shaft. Skywalker, Solo, Antilles, and an unidentified Y-wing pilot (presumed to be [[Keyan Farlander]]) managed to fly away from the station before the torpedoes reached the main reactor, and the Death Star was consumed in a massive explosion.
