matrilThe Falcon has disappeared, and we get a shorthand visual for Vader's reaction -- another officer summarily executed by Force-strangling. With cold sarcasm Vader dismisses the dead Needa's apology, then orders a renewed search for the missing ship with the assumption that it has gone somewhere far distant by the means of hyperspace.
And now for an edition of Where's Waldo, Millennium Falcon edition! Can you find it? Like a little bug hiding on the back of a giant animal's head.
We get a humorous shot at the sideways view from the cockpit, as all the Star Destroyers disperse and unwittingly leave behind their prey. Adding to the humor is how Leia summarily deactivates Threepio and the droid slumps into an inanimate object. Nice physical acting from Anthony Daniels. And a nice choice to show Leia and Han absorbed in an unseen starmap, indicated simply by the shifting blue light reflecting on their faces.
But alas. Just as we're thinking our heroes' cleverness has succeeded, letting the Falcon drift off with the trash, another little ship emerges from the garbage, piloted by a familiar bounty hunter. No dialogue needed. We know that serious trouble is coming. (And from the prequels, we know why Boba isn't fooled by the Han's game of hide-and-seek, having it seen it before from Obi-Wan!)
Next time, visions of pain...
