[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6887542, member: 92305"] There's lots of debate on it, if you look around. The prevailing consensus seems to be about 2 hours, but there's also plenty of arguments for about 2 days. I'll note, with the D6 Star Wars RPG, the original base travel time between Tatooine and Alderaan is 7 days. Given Han's 8D Astrogation skill at the time, He could cut that down by 5 days easily (still having a 96% chance of avoiding a hyperspace mishap. That's 8D rolling 20+.) So, 2 days would seem about right, according to the game. Then, errata came out, and all the "day" figures in First Edition became "hour" figures. So, the base trip from Tatooine to Alderaan became 7 hours. Using Han's Astrogation skill, that becomes 2 hours. So, the rpg supports either opinion (2 days or 2 hours). I think I'm partial to the "days" figure, but it does seem, watching the movies, that hyperspace travel is certain extremely fast. I could buy and argument to use the "hours" figure easily. [B]SIDE NOTE QUESTION FOR [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION][/B] - I've noticed that you change the tag for my Star Wars posts quite often from "Star Wars" to SAGA. Am I reading the tag wrong? I thought "Star Wars" was for all things Star Wars, and "SAGA" was meant for the d20 SAGA version of the rules. Is that incorrect? [/QUOTE]
