Han swings the Falcon around to face the three TIE fighters behind him. He does not want to get trapped between them and a Star Destroyer.
“Shield’s forward, Chewie!” he orders.
The three TIE fighters approach carelessly. Han knows his best tactic will be to gain way steadily and target carefully. Unfortunately, that will take time, giving the Eradicator an opportunity to close from his rear. On the other hand, he can accelerate toward the TIEs at maximum speed, hoping his boldness will surprise them long enough to land a few devastating shots. Or, he can feign intimidation when the battle begins and fades away from the TIEs, pretending to forget about the Star Destroyer. This will allow him an opportunity to use his superior range, and perhaps also lull the Imperials into a false sense of security. The plan risks being forced into the Star Destroyer’s range, however.
