, Han realized that the hyperdrive has been damaged and he can't make a jump. He tried to fix the hyperdrive system but to no avail, and then decided to fly the Falcon into an asteroid field in attempt to to hamper the pursuit.

One of the Imperial commanders finally spotted the Falcon, leading to another pursuit which resulted in the Falcon making the insanely counter intuitive move of attacking the lead Star Destroyer.
