I can see a year (though I would tend to think less than that), but people here talking about two or three years is crazy. To end one movie with “I’ll meet you at the rendezvous point on Tatooine” and for that not to happen until three years later is absurd. It shouldn’t take that long to come up with a plan, especially not the one we see play out in ROTJ.
Anyways, I think we’re a bit off topic.
