Han drops into a corkscrew turn that carries him away from the TIEs. Both Imperial pilots decelerate, then follow. They must be pushing their sublight drives beyond specification to catch the Falcon.
When Han judges the TIE fighters have reached their maximum velocity, he says, “Hold on, Chewbacca! We’re going to take them head-on!”
“Ooooghuun!” Chewbacca bellows angrily.
“I know the shields are down,” Han replies. “That’s no reason to get testy.”
Already targeting the weapons, Han pulls up in a tight loop that leaves him facing both TIE fighters. The TIEs quickly answer the Falcon’s maneuver with flashing laser cannons. Han pauses before triggering his own weapons. With a little luck, he might lure the TIEs into point-blank range by holding his fire. It is a risky maneuver, for the Falcon will have to withstand several shots from the TIEs before he attacks.
