- Zev sure seemed proud that he found Han and Luke. Maybe there was some sort of prize for the pilot that brought them back (see: the name of this episode).
- The flat rejection of Han's guess about the signal coming from one of their speeders is amusing.
- Obviously it isn't a speeder.
- But if you don't know what it is, Han, then how do you "know" it's not friendly?
- What if the Empire was also offering a prize to whichever probe droid found the Rebels? The probe droid would have been so happy right before it blew up.
