Leia theorized (which was confirmed by Vader) that the storm-troopers [i]let[/i] them escape. A tracking device had been hidden on the Falcon and Vader intended to us it to follow them to the rebel base. Of course, this was in the context of a movie where a ship as small of the Falcon somehow has gravity inside it and can travel the length of the galaxy in a matter of hours at the speed of light (it would really take 100,000 years at that speed).
