[quote=@Anomaly758] [@Assallya] 1) Care to provide examples of it being a surprise when starships enter via hyperspace? At the moment I don't recall any such event, other than in (ugh) Disney's Rogue One in which the Devastator interrupts the Rebel retreat. [/quote] Episode 2 Attack on Geonosis: The separatist fleet is caught on the ground and annihilated before they could even launch. Great hyperspace sensors there. One could make the argument that maybe the Republic fleet jammed these sensors which leads to the question why wouldn't you preemptively launch your fleet when the sensors started being jammed? This logic applies in nearly every following movie. Episode 3 Attack on Coruscant: the Republic fleet is completely bypassed as the Separatists invade and kidnap the Emperor before the Republic fleet high tails it and catches the Separatists as they're trying to leave Episode 4: Sure they know the Death Star is coming but they can't see it coming. There's no countdown, nothing saying they can see the Death Star arriving in twenty minutes. One minute there's no death Star and the next it's maneuvering around the planet. Episode 5: The Imperial Probe Droid is discovered. They immediately begin to evacuate because there's no way to see the enwmy fleet coming. A good thing too because if Admiral Ozzle(sp?) hadn't come out of Hyperspace on the edge of the system there's no way they'd have seen the Imperials coming. (Key Vader's line about coming out of hyperspace too early) Episode 6: The rebel fleet sneaks up on the Death Star II. Thankfully the Emperor forsaw this using the force because no hyperspace sensors saw this coming. The Imperial Fleet thought the rebels were mustering a fleet near Sollust. Episode 7: Han uses the hyperspace trick to land on Starkiller base undetected since nothing can be detected in hyperspace. It also got them past the planetary shield too which was a bonus. (Also serves as additional proof that Star Wars ships don't have deflector shields, only energy shields) That's a bunch of examples without even trying or delving into Star Wars Rebels or Cline Wars where Anakin makes this his signature piloting move but it's Empire Strikes Back that takes the cake. The exchange between Darth Vader, Piett and Ozzle definitely concludes any discussion. In short, " Trust not the wookieepedia. You must unlearn that which you have learned!
