	I was watching The Empire Strikes Back last night and a curious though came threw my mind. Exactly how long was Luke on Dagobah with Yoda?

	Several weeks, possibly a couple months or so. I think the longest time I've heard for it was about 3 months. -----signature----- The Arena's Favorite Baseball Player Tournament - Come vote! http://boards.theforce.net/the_arena/b10777/29864047/p1/ I approve of NYCitygurl's sig

	I agree with the above. It was approximately the amount of time that it took the Milennium Falcon to reach Cloud City. -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber.

	I just thought of a funny scene: VADER: Thank you for the update, Bounty Hunter. We will meet at Bespin in several weeks, just before the Millennium Falcon arrives. FETT: Do you not understand what I just said? The Falcon is traveling at sublight; their hyperdrive is likely disabled. We're in wide open space for billions of kilometers all around. You could jump here in a few hours with probably just ONE Star Destroyer and capture them. Hell, you don't even need an Imperial-class! I could help disable the Falcon, and I bet you could capture them with just a Victory-class destroyer!! VADER: ... FETT: ... VADER: ...Nah. I have a cunning plan, on the order of the Emperor himself. And like all the Emperor's plans, it requires a great amount of time and the introduction of any number of variables that could cause the plan to go horribly wrong. FETT: But- VADER: Now, now, calm yourself, Bounty Hunter. Don't lose your head. Heh. FETT: (sobbing) Daddy... VADER: See you in a few weeks! -----signature----- Personally if treating homosexuals with respect and dignity is the definition of 'anti-Christian' then I hope that Obama is the friggin' anti-Christ. - FIDo

	That scene would be classic. -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber. How do you get red out of blue? Council Member in the New Jedi Trials/ Commander-in-Chief of the Rebel Alliance Addicted to Rock Band 2 and Proud of It! SWC Secret Rebel '09 Band Geek For Life!

	The canon answer is three months, because that's how long it took the Falcon to get to Cloud City without a working hyperdrive. -----signature----- Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Episode_I_-_The_Chosen_One Production blog: http://alternativesaga.wordpress.com/

	It takes years to get between systems at sublight. They had a backup hyperdrive. -----signature----- "Just when you think the amount of fail cannot possibly increase, the Internet keeps on giving." - SalvorHardin "Let's see them argue with nature and persuade the nonexistent polar bears not to eat them." - crownarmourer

	While I got a laugh out of that scene too, consider this: Vader really didn't care about capturing Han and Leia - he was after Luke. While he may have originally thought Luke was with his friends on the Falcon, he may have also realized that he couldn't sense Luke in the asteroid field and thus the purpose of finding the Falcon became to set a trap for Luke. Its hard to set a trap in deep space, hence the trap was set at Bespin, where they could draw Luke. -----signature----- The Arena's Favorite Baseball Player Tournament - Come vote! http://boards.theforce.net/the_arena/b10777/29864047/p1/ I approve of NYCitygurl's sig
