Can someone explain why Han Solo needed to make the jump to lightspeed while in the middle of the Eravana hangar?

The Falcon has escaped from so many places in the past including ports on Mos Eisley, the Death Star, the exploding Death Star II, and of course, the Exogorth. And all those times, it just blasted off using plain old engines, or after burners, or something, but not it's hyperspace engine.

So why does (not even asking how), but why does it need to make the jump at this point of its history.

​And does that mean moving forward, the Falcon can jump light speed out of any hairy situation it's thrown into?

Because jj is a hack that can't pace things properly so ignores distance to take you from action scene to action scene as fast as possible.

Look how he ballesed up travel in star trek they do a six week journey in minutes.

Because TFA had no quiet scenes at all

Not too convincing an argument. I'd say it was because they wanted that monster thing to be split up over the windshield.

Best i can figure is that it would keep the Eravana from keeping it's lock on the Falcon. Fly out at regular speed and they could lock on and override the systems like when they pulled in Finn and Rey.

That's my best attempt at an explanation.

As to why he wouldn't have also pulled that stunt when escaping the death star, I assume the Death Star has a large enough gravity well as to prevent hyperdrives from functioning. (Your hyperdrive computer won't work if you're close enough to a planet.)
