(this is where I take some creative leave - How long did it take to get to the detention center to get Leia? I say a good hour and a half. How long did it take to get back to the ship? About the same. How long of a flight to Yavin? I say they reached Yavin 12 - 14 hours after the gang first found the remains of Alderaan)
