Except he boasted about it long after they were under stardrive . Do you have a reading comprehension problem? If it was a simple speed thing it would have been a done deal the moment they went lightspeed. It apparently WASN'T. As I've said half a dozen times (I think you're the one who can't read)...

I'll amend one thing: jumps aren't completely straight-line. As I recall, in the first Rogue Squadron book they discuss how a hyperspace jump is affected by gravitational fields (e.g. from a stellar mass) and that bends the path somewhat. If you want I'll pull out the book later and dig up the refer...

And SCRawl makes an excellent point in that the Executor does not pursue the Falcon when it makes the final jump in TESB. Because Executor is naturally able to follow the MF closely enough to track it despite your earlier insistence that the MF has an unusually fast hyperdrive. Evidence that Execut...

Paintball isn't just about who sees who first, especially given that the guns aren't exceptionally accurate. The paintball field I go to is about 3/4 the length and width of a football field (a very rough estimate). And it's forested with a wooden fort thin in the center (just some walls) and random...

It's fucking paintball. Aren't I so mean to the poor stormtroopers

Somebody tell me the guy's kidding. Kuciwalker can't be arsed to mention the fucking resource 'maneuvering=no go' is stated in but I have to provide a page number? Are you that fucking dense? I didn't have any such specific cite; I was mocking your constant assertion "It's in Courtship! Somewh...

When in Courtship did they do so? Where in the novels does it say that they CAN'T? I have given you a source. You have completely failed to give any source whatsoever for your assumption that Wars ships can't change course in hyperspace. And I disagree with your interpretation of the scene in ANH; ...

Yeah I saw that after I replied to Batman. Thanks.

"Mr. Skywalker," Isolder said, "I . . . wanted to ask you something. Dathomir is what, sixty, seventy parsecs?" "About sixty-four parsecs," Luke answered. "The Millennium Falcon will have to travel a twisted course through hyperspace to make that kind of jump,&quo...

Perhaps you could actually quote the sources that say you CANNOT change course in hyperspace? Yes. They're in the EU novels. I won't tell you where, or even describe the incidents. IOW you have no case. Thanks for playing. You realize I was imitating you, right? Are you that fucking dense? If you h...

Who says there is? The numerous examples, some of which I've cited, of ships tracking the hyperspace jump vector of another ship in order to determine it's approximate destination? (by tracing a line on a galactic map) And that means they can't change course in hyperspace how exactly? At best that ...

'You think'. Yes, that's certainly convincing. It's my interpretation of the scene. I see no reason why it's particularly unreasonable. Perhaps you could actually quote the sources that say you CANNOT change course in hyperspace? Yes. They're in the EU novels. I won't tell you where, or even descri...

I cannot remember any point in Courtship when a ship changed direction in hyperspace. Perhaps you're thinking of the little explanation about uncharted routes when Isolder was trying to decide whether to take one with his fleet?

Even if there's a fairly large turning radius in hyperspace* the momentary occlusion would provide no real benefit in preventing the other ships from following the Chiss ship, because they'd pick it up while it was in hyper flying from behind the obstruction. Based on-what? We're talking 8 figure c...

In one of the Young Jedi books, I think the third set of them, some chick steals a ship from the Jedi Academy and flees with it to Kessel. The fleet above figures this out because Kessel is in the cone of possible trajectories their sensors determined as the ship jumped, and from other evidence.

If they could then there'd be no necessary correlation between the launch vector and the final destination. Who says there is? The numerous examples, some of which I've cited, of ships tracking the hyperspace jump vector of another ship in order to determine it's approximate destination? (by tracin...

Which would have been a given from the moment they entered hyperspace. Either the Falcon is faster than the ISDs or it is not. That comment strongly suggests that Han had to WORK to get rid of them. IOW maneuvering. Yeah, the maneuvering so that they didn't get blown to pieces while calculating the...

In the Han Solo trilogy he meets up with some absolute hyperdrive genius and gets "lol teh fastest hyperdrive evar LOL" installed, as I recall, which lends credence to the idea that the Falcon hyperdrive is actually faster than a Star Destroyer's. And why it breaks much more often.

Even if there's a fairly large turning radius in hyperspace* the momentary occlusion would provide no real benefit in preventing the other ships from following the Chiss ship, because they'd pick it up while it was in hyper flying from behind the obstruction. *which btw hurts, though doesn't kill, t...

They're playing in a generic paintball field, or whatever you call it. A squad of stormtroopers and a squad of US troops (or SAS or whatever) got together for a good game. Basic foresty terrain, on Earth or an Earthlike world. And they've each seen several years of service already. Well, this scena...

I'm sure I've read somewhere that ships don't actually maneuver in hyperspace. And he shook them off because the Falcon has a faster hypderdrive. If the Falcon simply had a faster hyperdrive Han wouldn't have needed to shake them off in the first place! Their escape would have been a foregone concl...

That was the escape from the DS1. He's talking about the escape from Tattooine where the dialogue DOES strongly indicate that the ISD were indeed doing just that. Looking at the script from ANH, here's the line in question: Well, you can forget your troubles with those Imperial slugs. I told you I'...

Oh, here's an example: in Spectre of the Past, several characters encounter a Chiss spacecraft (they don't know it's Chiss then) when Mara's around. It beams a transmission and then does some sort of fancy maneuvers so the lose sensor focus in the instant it goes to hyperspace, so they can't track t...
