You know...
About that galaxy... (yeah I know)
Maybe....
They were looking at the ENTIRE galaxy?
You have to admit it sure looks like it ;)

That map is based on the assumption that the phenomenon in ESB is the galaxy (its also mentioned in some EU I read that had Vader figuring out that the Rebels left the galaxy). However, that makes hyperspace super fast or they traveled for a really long time to get that far away from the galaxy. If you could go from Tatooine to Alderaan in a few hours (assumption from ANH), then it would still take a couple years to get far enough away to see the entire galaxy. And most of the other jumps we've seen would only last a couple minutes!

This is why I like that Ady is keeping it the same image. Those that want to think that Luke and Leia are looking out on the whole galaxy can think that, and those that want to think that they're looking at the birth of a new star can think that. Leave it to the viewer, don't spell it out. We don't need Ric Olie telling us "There's the Skywalker twins looking over the galaxy!" ;-)
