Rewatching A New Hope and guys. Guys.
We have all fallen for Han's propaganda.
Look, Han might think he's a suave, smooth-talking pilot-slash-smuggler who can outsmart a whole ship of Imperials, and that Luke's a naive little farmboy who's never seen hyperspace before, but honestly?
The whole time on the Death Star, it was Luke calling the shots. Luke bluffed an officer into thinking he was a stormtrooper with a bad comm unit; Han started shooting as soon as the door was open. Luke spent about 2 seconds on the altruistic argument - "but they'll kill her!" - before figuring out Han's angle and swapping to the argument that would win. Luke pulled out a cell block number as soon as the guard asked; Han famously fumbled the first comm call.
We give Luke a bad rap for being an idealistic farm kid, but he's not stupid. He knows when he's being scammed, although he might be a bit loud about calling it out; he's ready for trouble and pretty on the ball with coming up with cover stories. He might expect the best of people - but you know what? It works! People want to live up to those expectations - so they do. Han comes back. His father turns from the Dark Side. People listen.
Han might think he's an idiot, but when you look at everything Han gets up to himself...

being a 13 year old girl and suddenly having an obsession with the outsiders and 80s coming of age films like the breakfast club or ferris bueller is such a canon event that must not be interfered with.

Darry can tell who walked into the house depending on the sound of the door. Every member of the gang has an entrance that can be very easily missed.
Dally slams the door open and doesn't bother to close it behind him.
Steve opens the door and then slams it behind him, then goes to bother whoever is closest.
Johnny is almost always following someone so if the door stays open a bit longer and is quietly shut then Johnny has followed them in.
Two-Bit is similar to Steve except he dusts off his shoes. His mama always gets onto him tracking dirt so it's a habit.
Ponyboy quietly opens the door and shuts it behind him and usually calls out a I'm home. Or he's completely quiet except for the fact he stomps without realizing it.
Sodapop is almost always excited when he gets home so he accidentally slams the door into the wall and apologizes. He also usually announces he's home.
Darry just wishes they would stop slamming the door, it hurts the door and he's not exactly itching to fix the hinges.

Ponyboy canonically writes The Outsiders in their universe and has the rights to it... So he would have something to do with the movie/play/musical/TV show.
Which would explain why Steve got shoved into ensemble instead of being a main character.
