[For once Luke finally feels like he's in his element in this place, the Real, away from his powers and his friends (most of them anyway) and the Alliance. He's taken to the hovercraft like a duck to water and being back in the pilot's seat in a battle is giving him the confident, competitive edge he's been lacking since he arrived.
He guides the ship in clean arcs, controlled turns, but with the speed and grace of a seabird. It's not quite as agile as an X-wing fighter but Luke manages to get just about the best out of the Phoenix that it's capable of. His expression is utterly focused and eerily calm. The stress of the past two or three months has melted away and Luke has found his zen.
He passes under the belly of the beast to give the starboard-side guns an ideal angle, then tilts his head in Wedge's direction while keeping his eyes on the viewport.]
