In A New Hope how does the death star travel so fast to chase the heros to Yavin without a hyperdrive, or does it have a hyperdrive?

We don't actually know how much time has passed since they escaped. It could have been weeks. They had to analyze the plans, draw up their strategy and get everything ready for the face off so its safe to say that some time passed.

Really? I would have thought it was more like 24hrs or something. The first thing Leia says to the commander when they arrive on Yavin is that "we have no time for our sorrows commander - bla blah" which gave me the impression that the Death star was right on their ass. Also, why would Han stick around for a few weeks? Surely he'd be off before th DS arrived. And I think Leia might have changed her outfit after a few weeks, especially being in that cell, and trash compactor.
And another thing.
But really, who cares
