Also posting this because it still baffles me how some can see Rey and Finn escaping as being a problem when there were more ships in orbit during the Battle of Hoth that caused Luke no trouble and that’s fine. I really need someone to explain this to me.
How quick the the Empire find the Falcon after it blasted off from Mos Eisley? How did it get away? How quick did the Star Destroyers find the Falcon after it blasted off from Hoth? How did it get away? In both cases they knew precisely where on the planet they had been. When the Falcon escapes the space slug, the net has been woven well enough that a single Star Destroyer almost gets them except Han does the unexpected and attached to the Star Destroyer itself (in an out of the way place for sensors and patrolling ships). When they flee Cloud City, they are almost caught until they jumped to hyperspace. See a pattern here? If the hyperdrive is working they escape. If it isn’t they have to manage something else out of the ordinary. The First Order should have known the moment the Tie Fighters were shot down and known exactly where they were on the surface. From there it is easy to track them down. Unless they are incompetent. They aren’t incompetent in the rest of the film.
