With his shields angled forward, Han flies straight at the TIE. Despite the pilot’s frantic dodges, the Falcon’s laser cannons strike the fighter’s cockpit with four bluish bolts. An orange fireball fills space where the TIE was an instant before. Han pulls the Falcon up hard and loops. He ends the maneuver directly behind the TIE which has been pounding his tail.
“Got you now!” Han crows. He presses the trigger and the Falcon’s laser cannons flash. The energy bolts open their deadly blossoms in empty space.
The Imperial pilot is looping tight. Han did not expect the maneuver and cannot follow. Instead, he circles and approaches head on. By the time the Falcon finishes her maneuver, the TIE pilot is already in position. His laser cannons flare, churning the emptiness before Han’s cockpit into a red storm.
Han grips the controls tightly. Flying straight at the TIEs’ blazing cannons is suicidal. He can try to dip beneath the TIE, then come up for a belly-shot. This tactic pits his piloting skill against the TIE’s superior mobility; if he is a better pilot than the Imperial, he will destroy it. If not, he and Chewbacca might get an opportunity to test the Falcon’s escape pods. His other option is to bank ninety degrees and force the TIE into a tight turn. This will make it more difficult for both craft to target, but will protect the Falcon from a devastating close attack.
