[Star Wars] "They're tracking us!" "Not this ship, sister!" Two questions…

First, if Leia knew she was being tracked, why lead them directly to Rebel HQ? Couldn't she at least have misdirected by landing on another planet and taking another ship to Yavin?

Second, why was Han so certain they weren't being tracked? What's special about the Millennium Falcon that he wouldn't expect a homing beacon to work?

They had no real choice. Either they get chased directly to the Rebel base and successfully deliver the Death Star plans and hope to either destroy the Death Star or flee before the Empire gets to Yavin, or they get caught while trying to outrun the Imperial fleet while at the same time not being able to deliver their information to the Rebels.

Han's just especially proud of his ship. He knows his ship, and he'd know if it was being tracked, or so he thinks.
