Há uma referência oblíqua a isso no Herdeiro de Zahn para o Império:
Luke clenched his teeth. This was going to be dangerous but he'd run out of choices. And he had heard stories of this working at least once before. 'Artoo, we're going to try something tricky ... On my signal, I want you to reverse-trigger the acceleration compensator - full power and bypass the cutoffs if you have to' ... And with a scream of horribly stressed electronics, the X-wing came to a sudden dead stop.
E continua explicando por que Han e o Falcon precisaram mancar para Bespin:
Herdeiro do Império, Timothy Zahn, pp.174-179 da minha cópia em brochura.Thrawn raised an eyebrow ... 'He's out there right now, not very far away. And ... he's helpless' ... 'That maneuver he used has an interesting side-effect I suspect he didn't know about ... Backfiring an acceleration compensator like that does severe damage to the adjoining hyperdrive. A light-year away, no further, and it will fail completely'
