Going out with a bang

Going out with a bang was a code phrase used by X-wing pilots so that they wouldn't tip off the enemy. It means that the pilot will ditch his starfighter and let the astromech droid take it on a sucide. It is usually used only at a last resort. During the Battle of Eidolon Base, Tycho Celchu used this phrase when his X-wing was badly damaged by TIE Interceptors.
