How long, do you suppose, does it take the Millennium Falcon to get to Alderaan from Tatooine? Is it hours/days/or week(s)?
I always kind of assumed hours, but I'm also wondering how long Princess Leia is on the Death Star... She's captured the same day that the droids rocket down to Tatooine. Luke buys them the next day, and it's the day after that that he meets Ben. Maybe a day for them to get to Mos Eisley and hire Han. Depending on how long it takes them to get to the Death Star and rescue Leia... she's been there for a couple days? I always felt like she was there longer than a week, but I guess I could buy 3 days.
