Maybe Luke could have finished his Jedi training by then, at least. lol

Sure, it's possible that Luke experienced a couple of years on Dagobah while Han took the Relativity Express to Bespin. But that raises a few questions...

a) How come Luke's hair didn't grow? Or get cut?
b) Why did Luke never change clothes? Did Yoda teach him some sort of textile purification Force power?
c) What were Boba Fett and Vader doing during those years when the Falcon was in transit to Bespin?
d) Why didn't the Empire intercept the Falcon while it was in transit? (It is, after all, moving millions of times slower than the fastest Imperial ships!)
e) Why didn't Han just call someone for a tow? Surely the risk of Imperial eavesdroppers isn't as bad as the living in a tiny space with See Threepio for such a long time.

I think the WEG solution is still the best. The Falcon had a backup/spare hyperdrive motivator with just enough juice to crawl to a nearby star system.
