The TIE fighters are closing fast on the freighter.
“Those guys are almost as good as I Am!” Han exclaims. He tips the Falcon over in a nose dive and reverses direction in less than 500 meters.
Chewbacca groans a suggestion.
“They aren’t that good,” Han growls. “I can take these greenhorns with a dozen breaches in our hull!”
“Aaargh!” Chewbacca says informatively.
“Really? That many?” Han quickly checks the damage display. It glitters like a casino on Ord Mantell. “That’s nothing serious!” he says.
Han returns his attention to hi opponents. The TIE fighters have reached firing range. They appear cautious, and do not immediately open fire. Han guesses they are maneuvering for good shots at the Falcon. The Imperial pilots have apparently learned some repect for Han, which does not make him happy. PArt of the Falcon’s advantage lies in inspiring overconfidence.
Han targets the top gunwell on the other. The TIEs continue to close without firing. Han triggers the laser cannons, and the black vastness around the TIEs bursts into orange fire-clouds.
The TIEs remain untouched. The closest maneuvers for a top shot, and the other for a bottom shot. They still do not fire.
Han curses. They have trapped him in a crossfire. He can drive full power toward one fighter, hoping to unnerve the Imperial, but that will give the other a free shot at him. On the other hand, he can loop around trying to stay between them, again targeting on both TIEs.
