Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019
Ironically enough, Fett would've likely used a form of active tracking.
He would be employing a computational system that would lock onto the Falcon and determine its probable heading based on its current trajectory. As the Falcon moves through space, the vectors are analyzed to form the most likely continued path of the ship. That path can then be cross-referenced with likely destinations in that direction.
Ultimately, Fett would have to make a judgment call well in advance of the Falcon approaching Bespin in order to contact the Empire and give them assurances of Solo's likely destination. But, it'd be an informed judgment call based on his computational tracking.
Either way, it's best not to think too much about this kind of stuff because then you start realizing that this was happening at sublight speeds (like at least part of Luke's journey to and from Dagobah, as that's all we ever see on screen), which then makes the amount of time spent so disproportionate to the visual and narrative context given to the audience. It's like how people like to assume that Luke spent weeks training on Dagobah, but forget how that means he'd be shaving daily and giving himself a haircut. When it's only him and Yoda on an isolated swamp planet. Kinda weird.
Getting nitpicky with any Star Wars film is never a good idea.
