Why did Luke turn off his targeting computer?

Your R2 unit gets shot and is out of commission, you've got an enemy on your tail with a gun lock, and your entire base (including friends in family) is in target lock of the Death Star.

On the other hand, you have a computerized targeting system that is literally guiding you in and you decide to turn it off based on an untrained feeling.

Quite the gamble.

He figured it was a surefire way to get in his sister's pants.

The Force > targeting computer

Edit: Luke was a religious extremist who blew up a regional peace-keeping station

Dude could bullseye a 2M womp rat with a T-16 and you’re worried about targeting systems?

He had seen into the future and once he saw the Last Jedi he became suicidal.

I know it ended up playing out that way; I'm just saying it's quite the gamble for someone whose entire training up until that point consisted of swinging a lightsaber around once in a hermit's camp.

That's the Mississippi equivalent of me spinning the revolver of a .45 once at One Eyed Bobby's deer camp and then thinking I can storm the beaches of Normandy like I'm Captain America.

What kind of ending would it have been with Luke pussing out by using a computer instead of the force.

Death Star had innocent contractors and plumbers on board. Luke and the Jedi are murdering savages that should have been exterminated.

While at JA(Jedi Anonymous) i asked Luke about this, and he claimed:

Because he knew all he had to do was gently sway side to side and Vader would be unable to hit him due to the TIE fighters dog shite targeting system
