I haven’t studied physics since college, but with that whole lack of gravity or atmosphere thing, stopping on a dime, as Mando seems to do, is basically impossible.
Your ship is going to move in relation to whatever directional force was last placed on it.
Like Maverick in Top Gun, Mando hits the brakes, lets the attacking ship blow past him, and then opens fire, taking out the other hunter.
At the very least, this move is way more complex in space than it would be on earth.
