It puzzles the viewer: did the falcon just turned back?

Yes you are correct; however, we allready know where the falcon is headed to anyway so it makes little difference ( for us atleast ) which to way the ship is facing in this case. It's just a matter of prefference IMO. The original doesn't show them going in or out of hyperspace at all, or even show the hyperspace tunnel at that. I guess for the ones that have never seen starwars would get a bit confused. It's up to Ady if he wants to change that shot. I'm satisfied either way.
