Continuity error in STAR WARS - the ANSWER

[Jim Heliotis]

Are you sure other scenes showed an abnormal (or no) star field while in
hyperspace?

[2-8-84Lorenzo D 97750)]

Yes. They show a white cloud effect.

To recapitulate, the question was this:
Scene is as follows: Luke, Han, Leah, et. al., have just made
good their escape from the deathstar, and destroyed the sentry ships.
Han and Leah are having a conversation on the bridge of the Millenium
Falcon. There is SOMETHING WRONG with this scene.

And now (drumroll, flourish of trumpets), THE ANSWER:

In the scene immediately prior, we see Moff Tarkin and Vader
having a conversation back at the Death Star. Tarkin - "Are they away?";
Vader - "They have just made the jump into hyperspace."
But as Han and Leah talk, we see a perfectly normal starfield
thru the windows on the Falcon's bridge.

In the "A New Hope", just before Han Solo dropped out of hyperspace into
the Alderaan (sp?) system, there was a scene in the window similar to the
"wormhole" in "Star Trek: The Motion Picure".
