[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7843459, member: 6803664"] My 10 year old self had no way of knowing the distance between Hoth & Bespin. Or how fast the Falcon actually was. None of us did in 1980. But we smart ones could tell that "Time passed". That it was like watching Rocky become an awesome boxer via training montage (though we didn't know the term for that). The Falcon wouldn't receive its class 10 backup drive until it was retconned into place in the early 90s in that one WEG RPG book (forget it's name atm). But that was 12-13 years after I'd simply shrugged & correctly assumed that "Enough time had passed". And it doesn't help anyone who hasn't read random gaming books, EU crap, or googled it. You watch either version of ESB & you're told nothing about how much time passed between Hoth & Luke's arrival on Bespin. And you won't find one peep about a there being a backup drive. But yes, my 10 year old self fully understood the idea that (actual) space travel is slow. It'd take years to get to another planet here in our own system. Travel between solar systems at sub-light speeds? HA! That'd take generations+! I knew what I was watching =/= reality. [/QUOTE]
