How long did it take Han and Leia to go from Hoth to Bespin?The asteroid chase doesn't take very long, but the Falcon's main hyperdrive is out and they have to limp to Bespin (at what speed? At sublight they never get there).  Some time elapses there before they get betrayed ... probably a few days ... but Luke shows up shortly after the betrayal. Surely, though, he doesn't complete all his Jedi training in just a few days. I mean, besides confronting Vader, Yoda does the rest of his Jedi training between arrival and Luke's departure for Bespin (or at least we're led to believe from RotJ, when Yoda says "No more training do you need, except Vader, you must confront Vader.")Frankly, there's not much point at arguing over timing in Star wars; everything moves at the speed of plot.  I think timelines should be much longer than shown/implied in the movies because otherwise lawless areas would be less lawless and much of the economy and politics of the galaxy don't work with near-instantaneous travel. But whatever. Speed of plot.</blockquote>
