Han waits for the destroyer to fire again. “About one second long, and three seconds between salvos,” Han observes. “It’ll be close, but the Falcon should be able to make the distance in three seconds.”
Chewbacca moans.
“Yeah, well I always cut it fine! And I didn’t get us into this mess!”
“Arroggh?”
“‘I’m not going to watch you lose the Rebellion’s money,'” Han growls, mimicking Leia’s last comment to him. “If she had stuck with us like I wanted, none of this would have happened.” The destroyer commences its firing pattern.
Although the pilot had glossed over Chewie’s objection he knows that the Wookiee is right – they are cutting it very close. He can add a split second’s more leeway if he accelerates into the fading energy bursts. But he risks the turbulent after-effects of the spent bolts.
