For example, after the Vader example above, Fett tracks Han to Cloud City this way by lingering after all Imperial ships leave, we see him observing Han's exit vector and the Imperials/Fett immediately head to Cloud City and in fact arrive before Han. This happens elsewhere in the Star Wars universe. Suddenly, any visual track through hyperspace becomes worthless.Ĭan ships be tracked and chased through hyperspace without the use of a planted tracker or Force shenanigans? Imagine that Leia had been smart enough to tell Han 'hey by the way they probably will try to track us, maybe we should make some decoy jumps/stops first?' If ships can be tracked through hyperspace, why do the Imperials need to place a tracking device on the Falcon? Vader clearly cares about what their last trajectory is as well and believes he can find possible destinations from that information. In ESB, after the Falcon disappears, Vader commands Admiral Piett to:Ĭalculate every possible destination along their last know trajectory Yes, they can, if they have an exit vector.
