On the contrary, Luke Skywalker taking a lucky shot

Man that's like the ONE THING that I totally give star wars a pass for. It wasn't a lucky shot. The design flaw was there, yes, but the targeting computer was never going to work. Red leader had a lock and it still didn't work. Wedge Antilles, the best non-Jedi starfighter pilot in the galaxy, expressed strong doubt at least two or three times. Luke had to use the force to destroy it, there was no other way. If you can suspend your disbelief to accept the existence of the force, it makes perfect sense in the context of the story. Fucking masterpiece!

It would make sense even without the Force, because yes, we've seen that the targeting computer doesn't work.

This is what's good with Star Wars too, the Force can be replaced with something like stoic philosophy without the rest of the story imploding.
