The one and only beef I have with TESB is the ambiguity pertaining to how much time Luke spends training with Yoda on Dagobah/Han, Leia, Chewie, and Threepio spends travelling from Hoth to Bespin without a hyperdrive.

Personally, I just run with the idea that several months to a year passes between the Battle of Hoth and the duel on Cloud City, with relativistic time dilation keeping the crew of the Falcon from starving/getting too rank while in-transit to Hoth, but that could have been made clearer in the actual film.

That’s true. I tend to think the Falcon road trip does take a week or two, and Luke’s training lasts several months to a year, because Dagobah is a place so strong with the Force that time doesn’t flow as it does outside. If your familiar with "Dragon Ball Z "it’s like the hyperbolic time chamber. Where I don’t agree with you is the fact the movie doesn’t explain that: I believe this is the inner magic of this movie not to explain something you won’t even spot the first dozens (hundreds ?) of time you watch it. Dagobah is a place out of time, out of space, this is where the saga turns to be so powerful in its mythology. Damn, this movie…
