“I guess you’re right – any enemy of the Empire is probably a friend of mine,” Han says, steering the Falcontoward the corvette. “Shields forward, Chewbacca.” Although he worries about falling behind in the race against Alfreda, Han does not think it will take long to chase off the TIEs. Besides, it might be more than a coincidence that he has stumbled across the boarding action.
The Millennium Falcon streaks toward combat almost before the Imperials realize her pilot intends to fight. As the distance between the Falcon and the TIEs shrinks to laser range, Han concentrates upon his options.He can feint to port and target both sets of laser cannons on that craft at maximum range, then target on both of them at once. It’s a flashier, but more foolhardy tactic – by not firing, Han can see how the TIE pilots respond, but he is in effect bragging that he consideres the two Imperials harmless enough to let them under his guard.
The two fighters turn to meet the Falcon at the last minute; the shuttle continues trading shots with the corvette. The Imperial pilots have left him one more option. Han can fly straight at them, hoping to split their formation and forcing them to leave the shuttle vulnerable.
