[ Q - 1 ] Why a Millenium Falcon and X-Wing Fighters go into a New Death Star ... ? ...
( Please my Pals , tell me the assumptions about this curiosity ... )

( but almost same - or 90 % ? - speed that of X-Wings , might be somewhat slower than Y-Wings ... ? ... )
star Fighters were at that time didn't fully available ...
( May be because Graphic WorkStations of that era were slower than middle 1990 s' ... ? ... )

First off, we welcome any non-native-english speakers (and typers) here as long as they make an effort to communicate clearly. While you may not have mastered the english language, so far I think it's fairly evident that you are really trying.

Second, Please try to keep all non Wing Commander threads in the Off-topic zone.

I'm not sure what you are asking. I don't know why Lucas decided to use x-wings instead of a smaller a-wing. That is a question that you might want to ask a Star Wars forum. However I do know that, at least in Return of the Jedi it has nothing to do with computing power and CGI limitations of the time. All the ships in ROTJ are physical models. (with the exception of some of the stuff added in the special edition)

Answer for question 1: They needed speed for the assualt. The y-wing and x-wing carry the same armament of torpedos. If you watch the movie...they almost don't make it out of the explosion.

Answer for question 2: Han Solo was always a SMUGGLER. You are probably mixing him up with Kyle Katarn (Dark Forces and Jedi Knight games) who was a captain in the Empire before he turned merc.

1. X-Wings are slower and Y-wings more so but presumably whoever could get through went into the Death Star.

2. I also seem to remember Han Solo having some connections with the Empire, possibly as a cadet. Maybe they just mentioned that he had planned on doing that.
 
If I remember right the rebels needed to get torpedo's into the death star's core, and since the A-wing doesnt have room for torpedo's they had to use the X-wings.
....as for why they let that huge ol' falcon in there is beyond me.
 
Han solo was an Officer in the Imperial Army, he decides to deny the Empire when they kidnapp and torture a wookie. He saved Chewbacca and escaped with him becoming a fugitive. And the only way to live for a fugitive is smuggling...

Different sources have different theories.
 
The one novel I had read (I forget which one, there are so many) listed Solo as an Imperial Lieutenant in the Imperial Navy, and was assigned to Kashyyyk. Which is where he met Chewie, and went AWOL.
