Time Between ESB and RotJ

Does anyone know about how long it was between the two movies? The reason I ask is because Luke's powers are considerably stronger than at the end of ESB. We obviously see all of this at Jabba's palace. It's also apparent that he has a stronger knowledge of the force. Did he do anymore training/missions in between the two films? I know this has been probably asked before so I apologize.

 

It is one year between ESB and RotJ. Check out theforce.net's timeline.

 

To the casual viewer, these movies don't really seem to have a set frame of time, during or in between. It's part of what adds to the feel, I think.

 

Great! Just the thing I've been looking for. Thanks for the link.

 

I like your post 'Davin_Felth'

the OT movies really seem to flow perfectly, and you just understand it all without knowing specific time frames and all of that

 

I agree 100% Luke_SW. The OT have such a consistent flow that it can be set in any time (i.e 1 month, 1 week,1 year)and the stories will still gel!

 

So Han was captured for a year? I didn't know that. Kewl stuff.

 

Actually thats not right and forgive me because I cant remember were i read it i think its in the book. The actually time frame for all three movies are. Star wars New hope to Empire Strikes back 3 years and from Empire to Return of the Jedi is 6 months. I could be wrong about the 3 years. In books it tells lukes age in Star wars New hope and again in Empire.
Then in the book to Return of the Jedi it says that it had been 6 months from the time Han was sent to Jabb the Hutt to the time luke rescued him.

I dont know go in read comic books and the OT books and they tell you time frame between Star wars and Return of the jedi.

 

"from Empire to Return of the Jedi is 6 months.
Then in the book to Return of the Jedi it says that it had been 6 months from the time Han was sent to Jabba the Hutt to the time luke rescued him."

Meaning only that Han had been at Jabba's Palace for 6 months, nothing more. Boba Fett toured the galaxy with Solo still in his cargo hold for 6 months after TESB, making it one year between TESB and RotJ. It's been a year for years.

 

Yes but it also could mean, that if Han is captured in October in ANH +3 (no of course they don't use the gregorian calender in SW, but try to understand what I'm saying) and he was rescued in March in ANH +4 then you would still write that ESB takes place in ANH +3 and RotJ in ANH +4. Just a thought.

Now for the record, I think that the movies workes fine without knowing an exact timeframe just like Davin Felth said. But if you include EU then you have to take more consideration to the timeframe.

 

The time between ESB and ROTJ is three years. 1980 to 1983.


Actually it's pretty much been established at 6 months between Empire and Jedi but this is a topic of great debate.

 

ROTJ takes place 11 "Earth" months after TESB. I don't know how many days are in a Tatooine month or how many months are in a Tatooine year, so it could be a little shorter or longer than our Earth time.

 

There are 10 months in a Standard Year.
