Would it be possible for them to abruptly break apart, sort of like how a TIE in TFA breaks from chasing POE right after he enters the rip in the thermal oscillator? Like there’s no point going straight anymore since their prey is totally gone?
Yes! Please do this! We only need to see them quickly and not all of them.
Probably needs some tweaks, but something like this?

Good start, I would actually have them stagger a bit and break off in different directions. When I say stagger, the first one breaks off the furthest down in one direction, the second TIE will break off course a bit sooner and at a different direction and the third sooner either the same direction as the first or second. They don’t have to be drastic break off departures, but depending on how many TIES are used for the shot, they all vary a bit or some more so than the others. It may make it feel more organic.
