Did the TIE pilot ever get a medal, maybe after Chewie?

If han wasn't busy stroking Luke, he coulda taken all 3 out.

i also have the faith that han could have taken out all three. its dumb that he didnt. three tie fighters shooting at the guy thats trying blow up the death star = three targets that need to be fired upon. lets consider how he acted; in the cantina he shot greedo first/second, with out question/remorse. 3 ties = 3 targets.

I was all over as far as TIEs were concerned by the time he was stroking Luke.

BOOM.
What?
Yahoo!
Look out!
BOOM.

It's within the range of believability that the elimination/scattering of TIEs happened quickly enough to prevent Han from shooting more than one.

but to prevent him from giving chase to the one that got away? isnt the falcon the fastest ship in the galaxy? "oh look there that one goes, better shoot that one too!"


lol, i understand that it happened and there's really no room to change things, but its just never ever actually made any sense that this happened.

No one on the Rebel's side knew Vader was in the prototype TIE. They assumed that, yes, it was a 'special pilot' in a faster ship. Since he was bounced off into space, they just assumed he's gone so they let him slide into oblivion. If they DID know Vader was in there it would have been a different story.

Maybe Han thought it better to become Luke's new wingman, and stick close in case he needed to defend him again, rather than zip off on a goose chase while another TIE potentiallys comes from out of nowhere and takes him out.

i think i understand that you also think that han should have chased darth vader?

Maybe,but what makes me unsure is Luke firing his proton torpedos right after Vader is tossed away.
And on Han's mind,he already cleared Luke's(no TIEs on Luke's back),he took 2 TIEs in one shot.
All happened in relatively fast pace.
Han made his choice,Luke's are more aware of the force in him,hero ships flew away together from the blown up DS,and Vader can has polished dome.:lol
