The ANH novel has Luke briefly lose consciousness after Vader's TIE is deflected--when his awareness returns, they're already flying away from the Death Star and everyone is congratulating him on the shot.

It's possible that Obi-Wan helped him direct the shot and partially took control of his body, like in SotME.

Sounds interesting. However, the blast mark from Red-1's torps is off to the side of the port, not falling short.

Isn't the circly thing on the left part of the "tower" mentioned? It's hard to judge angles on a moving wireframe display but it is off to the left.

It'd be pretty useless to have a weapon that can only be fired by a human and within a window of opportunity of 2 ms.

Quite. As I said, that's what a six-year-old made of it.
