The Apple Falls Far: Look closely when Luke falls out of the chute on Cloud City and clings to a weather vane his severed hand can be seen falling into the atmosphere.Either way, it's a surprisingly honorable move. He knows Vader will kill him he just wants to make sure the Sith Lord's wrath falls exclusively on him, or at least doesn't want to spend the rest of his life on the run as a deserter. Anti-Villain: When the Falcon slips away from his Destroyer, Captain Needa instructs his men to prepare a shuttle.The audience wouldn't get a real resolution to the film until three years later with Return of the Jedi. And the Adventure Continues: The film abruptly stops just after Lando and Chewie leave to find the now frozen Han, leaving Leia and the droids on the medical frigate with Luke as he's recuperating from his injuries from the duel with Vader.

Oh it's definitely a Cool Ship, but in this movie the hyperdrive fails to work time and time again leading to nothing but headaches for her crew. The Alleged Car: The Millennium Falcon.All Your Base Are Belong to Us: The Empire storms the Rebel headquarters, based on the ice planet of Hoth, but fails to capture the main leaders.All of this was jossed decades later by The Last Jedi and The Mandalorian, which just lean on space not being as big in the Star Wars universe (as in the Raygun Gothic films that influenced the franchise), such that sublight travel between nearby star systems is reasonable, it just takes a much longer time than hyperspace (days or weeks instead of minutes and hours). Which is how the Millennium Falcon was able to travel from Hoth to Bespin in a few days or weeks rather than a few years (as well how Boba Fett and Vader were able to get there ahead of them). Compared to a normal hyperdrive, it's not nearly as fast and won't get you very far, but it's enough to at least limp to the nearest inhabited star system for repairs.


All There in the Manual: To get around the Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale issue, supplemental materials explain that the Millennium Falcon rode the back of the Avenger through at least one hyperspace jump, and more importantly that most midsize or larger spaceships have an emergency backup hyperdrive which serves basically the same purpose as a spare tire on a car.
