The other reason Anakin opted for this approach was because he was in a small starfighter that he couldn’t connect to an airlock. Sure, this was all just a game and he didn’t have to fear the vacuum of space, but ‘dying’ in the simulation would effectively end the simulation. And once Anakin set his mind to doing something, he didn’t give up on it easily, even if that thing was enduring spending time with his son in law.

But he was also doing it this way because it was flashy, no reason to deny it.

He opened fire at about the same time Han did. Might as well take out a few vulture droids and gun turrets while they were at it. And more than a few ships and towers went up in blazing balls of simulated gas.

“See you on the inside.”

Anakin broke off from formation with the Falcon and angled his fighter to aim for one of the hanger bays. He chose one more towards the center of the clustered openings. He kept firing the whole way in to spread the confusion for the droids on deck. He slowed his ship enough to make his momentum something less than neck-breaking and hit the cockpit hatch release. Relying on the Force the buffer his landing, he leapt free.

He didn’t pause longer than it took to right himself on landing. He activated his lightsaber and used the mayhem sown by his still-moving starfighter (about to crash into a portion of the back wall of the hanger bay and explode) as cover to run towards one of the corridors leading deeper into the ship. He took out the droids that took notice and attempted to stop him, but he made it unscathed to his destination.

As he closed and locked the blast doors behind him, he commed Han, “You in yet?”
