[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6887667, member: 92305"] I'm leaning towards the "hours" version. But, [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION] said to present the compelling arguments I found on the net. OK, here's an argument for the otherside--that thinking that the trip is a couple of days. This is the "days" version. But, it's a weaker argument. 1. We assume that the scene where Han comes from the cockpit and says, "I told ya I'd outrun 'em," didn't happen right after the jump to hyperspace. Maybe they were worried about being tracked through hyperspace or had been talking about it on the journey as Han went to the cockpit to check on the controls. This could have been a day or more later as we've got the cut to the Death Star and Alderaan being destroyed between the Falcon jumping to hyperspace and Han coming from the cockpit to watch Luke train. This is a weaker argument because we've got to make a real leap of faith that Han is not coming from the cockpit and seeing Ben and Luke for the first time since the jump happened. Minutes in the cockpit, even an hour or so, is more believable than he's slept overnight and returned to the cockpit. 2. Leia was captured on Vader's Star Destroyer. The SD has to rendezvous with the Death Star (or send her in a ship to the DS). The DS had to jump to the Alderaan system and destroy Alderaan. It can't do all this in just a few hours. This is a weaker argument because Leia was captured early in the film, and there were obvious days--absolutely one day at the minimum--that the Imperials had time to ship Leia off. Other Imperial SDs showed up at Tatooine after a call went out that Vader's SD had intercepted the Rebels with the DS plans (when Vader took over Leia's ship at the opening shot of the film) like cops piling on and arriving late at a crime scene. The Death Star has plenty of time to receive Leia, torture her, and make its way to Alderaan [/QUOTE]
