I mostly agree with MalàStrana’s assessment here.

I’d say a few weeks at most.

Could you both give more details about how you see the time passing? What makes one of you feel like it’s months and the other just weeks? This is really interesting.

In my head canon, the Millennium Falcon's trip from Hoth to Bespin took several months travelling at sublight speeds. Time dilation kept the crew from experiencing that amount of time, so that’s why they didn’t arrive starved/dehydrated/really grungy. Luke spent that same amount of time on Dagobah training with Yoda, explaining his advanced Force/lightsaber duelling capabilities and his “I learned so much since then” bit of dialogue.

The two things that take a while are the trip to Bespin and Luke’s training. The longer the flight takes the longer Luke gets to train. At minimum the trip to Bespin will take weeks. It more likely takes months or years depending on the distance between systems. If we are generous with the Falcon’s speed and the distance between systems, I would say 1-2 months. The story allows for that. The Falcon likely has bathing facilities and could easily carry spare clothing. Han and Chewy live on it after all. That gives Yoda a fair amount of time to cram in a decade of training. Luke obviously retained most of it because when he comes back Yoda says he has learned enough. That would be impossible in a week and super tough in a month.

That just seems way too long to me.

Ok then.

He probably didn’t even read the screenplay.

Why is it gross?

Why do you keep saying that post is impscum masturbating?

It’s not his typical “I’m superior” post, so I naturally assumed you meant the other version of masturbating.

So…gross. I don’t want to actually see it happen.

I didn’t say it. I guess it’s implied?

Thanks Ric!

I am very curious though, how exactly does it look like when you are asked to create an account here.

I didn’t get the feeling that the movie took place over months. While Empire is not a rushed movie, everything to me suggests that everything in the movie happens on a short time scale. Not having the hyperdrive is like not being able to drive on the interstate: it’s doable, but just a little bit slower (minutes/hours in the interstate example, days/weeks for hyperspace). We didn’t seem much of Luke’s training, but it seemed very intense and rushed to me. So, there’s my reasoning for a couple of weeks.

All these years I’ve been wasting my life eating salad…which you also don’t make friends with.

If you only knew the true power of McDonalds. . . .
