What is the name of the Rebel pilot who destroys the first Death Star?

The story behind the answer

In the Battle of Yavin (A New Hope), the Tatooine farmboy flying as Red Five trusts the Force, switches off his targeting computer at Obi-Wan’s urging, and guides two proton torpedoes into the Death Star’s thermal exhaust port, triggering the chain reaction that destroys the station. Han Solo dramatically returns in the Millennium Falcon to clear Darth Vader off his tail but doesn’t fire the shot. Wedge Antilles provides cover and withdraws after damage, later helping bring down the second Death Star. Biggs Darklighter is killed in the trench run.

This moment marks a turning point in the Galactic Civil War and the hero’s journey toward becoming a Jedi, showcasing the Rebellion’s blend of courage, teamwork, and faith in something greater than technology.
