Boba somehow knew how and which Star Destroyer Han was hiding on (in my experience there's no such thing as luck).

could very well be that he was just hiding in the garbage IN CASE Han tried the same trick...maybe he didn't know a damn thing but his bounty hunter instinct told him to try that before leaving in case it panned out.

Well I'd say that Boba would have looked at the situation with a similar survivors instinct as the pirate captain, The Falcon had its chance to escape a couple of times,.....no lightspeed,.....the first time it heads into an asteroid field to try and hide, the second time, when it had a clear shot of getting away it turns and buzzes the control bridge of its persuer.....then vanishes......I'd say Boba knew axactly the move Han pulled....flew out to investigate,.... spotted the space tic, and hid in a similar position......waiting

That's pretty much how I view it too Jaitea. Since he did fly from the Executor to Captain Needa's SD (the one that spotted the MF last), then spent precious time waiting there and floating aimlessly in garbage, that tells me he at least had a good inference Han was hiding nearby.

If he actually did see where Han was, one might ask why didn't he report it to the SD then and there (maybe he did and the Empire was in on the scheme)? Well the easiest way to catch a mouse isn't chasing it (in open space), you trap it where it's less likely to expect it (and out of the ship).

Whether it was this way or another way, it didn't have to be explained to us, but it's still fun to speculate some things :)
