Is Disney "Star Wars" universe imploding?

One thing to consider is the distances between these worlds, according to Star Wars Galaxy Map, a site that is fan-based and likely absolutely perfect in its stellar cartography when considering a fictitious universe where truly none of this matters, Bespin and Hoth are fairly close together across a little line with Anoat between them.

Then, there is a much larger distance between Hoth and Dagobah and then back to Bespin. I added some lines to show distance.

Ultimately, I think the point is that if we consider the Falcon could not travel at .5 past lightspeed as suggested in ANH, and that we have no real meaningful distances between any planets or the amount of time that they're taking, this post is completely meaningless as both the Falcon and Luke's X-Wing AND his training on Dagobah, were ultimately just happening

AT THE SPEED OF THE PLOT.

:p
 
No, Bespin is a planet in the Anoat sector according to the page you linked to. I'm not saying there's a difference, but there might be a difference. ;)
Oh, good, I didn't even read closer once I saw it was Legends. I'd thought the whole Anoat sector idea preceded the new canon, though....
 
Sorry, but you clicked on the Legends tab.

If you switch over to the Canon tab, it says this:

"Bespin was an immense gas giant located in the vicinity of the Anoat system, a desolate sector of the galaxy."

It's listed as being in the Anoat sector, which also includes Hoth.

Frustrating, I know.

Which works even better, it puts Hoth and Bespin in the same system, making the question of hyperdrive largely a non issue. No matter how it works out the journey time is reduced to most likely hours, days at worst, whereas Luke had to travel to a completely different system altogether and back again in a ship whose hyperdrive is built for short jumps.

The outcome remains the same, Luke got a few days training, Rey got a few days training and any difference between them is....you got it, splitting hairs. :nyah:

Now if we say that basic training takes a few days going off the on screen evidence you just need to grok that Rey was good before her training and Luke wasn't. Nobody is complaining that Rey tracked some pokemon and lifted some rocks off the rear entrance it's the force use in the first movie we're complaining about. Likewise Luke "gets good" after his training.

Bespin and Hoth are not in the same solar system. The Anoat system is a third solar system. All three solar systems are in the Anoat sector.

Different solar systems:

Luke was handed a weapon, called as such by Obi-Wan, who implied it to be one of more dangerous things Luke could ever hold.

He immediately found the appeture, brought it up to his head, and aimed it at his face, with his fingers on the controls.

Hand someone a gun who *knows* it's a gun, and it they turn it towards their own face with their thumb on the trigger, you know everything you need to about them.

Bearing in mind that is a fan made page can we really reconcile it with what happens onscreen?

Moving at even 0.5c travel between star systems would take years at a bare minimum, decades more realistically. That clearly didn't happen.

Luke was clearly not aged years by comparison due to relativistic effects, Han and Lieia did not drug Chewie in his sleep and barbecue him in order to feed themselves. Their clothes weren't ruined by years of wear and tear, they still had the same hair styles and lengths, they hadn't wasted due to malnutrition. Hell, Lieia's make up hasn't changed.

Add to that there's nothing to suggest years have passed in the rest of the universe and it's far easier to simply accept that everything that happens onscreen adds up perfectly well if Hoth and Bespin are very close and therefore the travel times involves even at sublight are pretty minimal where it comes to meaningfully weighing up Luke's training time.

That or the famous back up unit did it's job.

We still end up with Luke and Rey being much of a muchness. (I'm getting sick of using the phrase "splitting hairs", but that's what we are again left with)
 
Flight suits today allow for multiple in-flight urinations before the system is at capacity.

Hell, Iron Man has a filtration system in his.

No faster than light superfighter can call itself that without the ability to comfortably piss yourself.

So to be clear the colour matters more than the hygiene standards?

I'm really just messing around. Yes, it would be necessary for Luke's spacesuit to allow for one to relieve oneself.

And blue. Or nothing. ;)
 
The question now is, does the fighter also allow for the droids to oil drain in-flight, or are they bigoted against mechanoid emissions?
