(Found) Short story early 70’s?: a criminal commanders a spaceship & flees from authorities

[benmf]

But the authorities have a “time loop” weapon that they use to make the spaceship fly into a sun repeatedly

You may be misremembering Star Light by Asimov.

Star Light (short story) - Wikipedia

What matches - criminal commandeers a ship and flees from authorities.

There is no time loop, and he doesn't fly into the star.

But there is a computer that gets caught in a loop, caused by an unexpected star that goes nova. So a loop and a star, you could have a faulty memory on the details, maybe.

Sounds a bit like Blank by Harlan Ellison.
