Hyperdrive trouble is a recurring source of tension and comedy for the Millennium Falcon in the Star Wars films. A prominent example appears in The Empire Strikes Back, released in 1980, when the ship repeatedly fails to enter hyperspace while its crew flees the Empire. That sequence helped make the malfunction an enduring part of the Falcon’s identity. Similar audio is now used in online edits whenever a vehicle, device, plan, or dramatic getaway stalls instead of delivering the expected burst of speed.
