If she believed that, she'd have let the Death Star survive
Not necessarily. Leia may well have considered that winning the philosophical point wasn't worth the price of a few billion lives each time the Death Star blew up a planet.
$17,000 bucks for a two-hour plane ride?

Well, since we're discussing my joke a bit more seriously, I don't think that was the reason. I think she blew it up because if she didn't, she loses. They couldn't fight it conventionally, so blowing it up via the plans was the only way they had a chance to beat the Empire.

Has anybody else noticed that Luke seems to use Vader's favorite use of the Force, the Choke, in Return of the Jedi? When he fights his way into Jabba's palace at the start of the film, there's a quick cut where he motions to one of the Gamorrean guards. The guard quickly repels from Luke, grabbing his throat.
That's a legitimate use of the Force for a Jedi?

I'm scanning through a supplement for the D6 Star Wars roleplaying game. This particular book is Galaxy Guide 7: Mos Eisley, published by WEG in 1993.
I'm flipping through, and something catches my eye. An NPC. His name? Mace Windu.
No kidding!
Six YEARS before Sam Jackson took the part in 1999's The Phantom Menace.
Mace Windu in the GG is no Jedi. He's a squib. He's an airhead, and he's working in a droid shop.

maybe it is not about 2 x amount of time, but distance.
given the possibility of 2 hours
given C = 300,000,000 meters/ second or 186,000 miles/second
then 2 hours of time would have taken them at 1.5C
3.24 *10^12 meters
or
2.0088*10^10 miles
that is a log ways to go in a short tim, so 17,000 cr for that distance? worth it.
