    In ESB, Han Solo is going to Bespin to repair the falcon. Boba tracks him, tells Vader about Solo's destination, and then gets there before he does! I always wondered about that. Han is well on his way and Vader and Fett beat him to Bespin! They also have time to work out a deal with Lando. Any thoughts? Enjoy!

    Well, remember, Fett has a fully functioning hyperdrive to get him to Bespin and the Falcon is only running on its sublight engines.

    That's what gives him the advantage!

    The Falcon had a backup hyperdrive, but it was much slower and much less reliable than the main unit.

    They also have time to work out a deal with Lando.

    Come on, how long do you think it would take DARTH VADER to hammer out a deal with someone, especially with the Executer hanging around? :D

    Lando did not have much of a choice when making that deal. It was probably a "give me Solo or die with the rest of this station" kinda thing.

    And since it's been estimated it took Han and the others about three months to get to Cloud City, Vader would have had plenty of time to get and "make a deal" with Lando.

    I always wondered why Fett didn't just lean over to Vader after the Falcon vanished and say, "Um, are you gonna come back and check the garbage after you dump it?"

    But then I think maybe he did suggest this off screen, and Vader let Fett in on the whole plan to let them get to Bespin or some other place where they would think they are safe, and Luke would think it a safe place to go find them instead of inside a Star Destroyer.

    Fett probably did have to track them for awhile to determine their course, then rendevous at Bespin with Vader to set the trap.

    We had to do work in all the classes so I didn't even have time to get in my usual naps during the day.

    Because if he did that, he doesn't get paid for finding Solo. The whole reason that Fett was there looking for the guy was that he was going to get paid very well. Had be said to Vader "Check your garbage", they would have found him and Fett gets zilch.

    IF, I think you used the wrong quote there. That was something I said in the EUDF thread. :p

    Hahaha, good one IF. I sat here for a minute or two trying to make sense of that wrong quote. A shame I did not know that it was explained further down. Two minutes of my life are wasted now IF. Thanks a lot!
