The Imperials search the Millennium Falcon but find no trace of our heroes.

The minute begins with Darth Vader arriving to inspect the Millennium Falcon and ends with the crew emerging from the hidden "smuggling compartments".

Pete refers to the Star Wars radio drama in which there is a lot more exposition around the crew finding and utilizing the smuggling compartments, ejecting the escape pod and updating the log.
The log that Han Solo uses. Isn't it always falsified given that he's a smuggler?
How does the log work? Paper-based or software?
The Stormtroopers should have been able to detect life-forms on the Falcon based on the technology shown in earlier minutes of the movie.
If the escape pod was jettisoned after they were already in the tractor beam, as per the radio drama, that should have also been captured in the tractor beam and sucked in to The Death Star.
In this scene it is suggested that the droids could have used the escape pod whereas in an earlier scene the Imperial Officers scoffed at the thought of droids using an escape pod.
The Millennium Falcon as a "decoy".
Captain Khurgee leads the team that inspects the Falcon. Captain Khurgee is voiced (via overdub) by Harry Shearer. this fact blew Pete's mind when he found out. Shearer overdubs other characters in the movie as well.

Cold-open: There is something in this minute that totally blew Pete's mind. Alex can't wait to hear what it is.

Alex: (As Captain Khurgee listening to Darth Vader) Um, yes, what? Am I supposed to do something with that?
