Here, jumping in and out of light speed would be expected to look like skipping a stone on a pond. It might be in a straight line, or perhaps alternating a number of directions, but this scene implies they are more or less teleporting. This is baffling when placed alongside any and everything else we’ve ever gotten about hyperspace.

It made visual sense to me. I don’t understand why you expected it to look like a stone skipping across water.

If you’re rapidly going to lightspeed and rapidly dropping out of it - I don’t know how else it could look except for teleporting. There’s no real way to show how the ship is “skipping” like a stone on a pond because the pond in this case isn’t stationary, and it’s not very easy to set up a scene where the four locations he’s skipping into and out of are all on screen at the same time as he bounces across them.

You could do it in a comic pretty easily (with the falcon breaking the gutters between panels) but I don’t know how you’d do it in the movie. The camera has to change locations with each jump, and at this point, from the POV we’re looking through IN those locations - the ship IS teleporting in and out, basically. Every exit and entry in Star Wars also looks like that.

I don’t know - it made sense to me, visually. I thought it was cool.
