Adywan, I have a question. At the end of Empire when the Mellenium Falcon is trying to escape the star destroyer, it seems to get really, really close, and yet it's out of tractor beam range. Are you planning to do something about this? Or can something even BE done about it???

Well when Piette says "they'll be in range of our tractor beam in moments.." the falcon is pretty far away. Its doubtful that the Executor would have a tractor beam as powerful as the Death Star so, plus they would have to lock onto the target so i dont' think there needs to be anything done to this.

Would just like to offer that after Piett has said this to Vader....that although there eventually comes the shot of the Falcon (having been previously chased towards the direction of the 'Executor' because of the laserbolts of the 3 following TIEs) where it's then seen to be travelling very closely alongside the front right-hand side of the 'Executor's' prow....that by this point, because it got so unexpectedly close so rapidly... that it didn't 'show up on the scopes' properly for a bit (as with the 'Avenger' earlier), enough for the 'Executor' crew to 'lock on' to it in time....and that it couldn't be located accurately by the 'Executor' crew again until it had been chased past the front of the prow, into it's path ahead....where it was 'picked up' again, and Piette could order "Ready for the tractor beam".

So would also agree along the lines of what professa said too.
