    Han is the captain. The captain of a ship makes the calls as to what it does, and the Millennium Falcon came back.

    I think a better question is why Luke gets special recognition versus the other pilots. I mean, he happened to be the one to make the final shot that blew up the Death Star, but everyone else in the squadrons went in too.
