1. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back - How Long Was Luke Training?
If we started with a Star Wars one, I figured it would be fare to end with anothe one. And this one is a very important one. In the movie we see Luke's training with Yoda in Dagobah, while Han and Leia escape from the Empire and go to Cloud City. However, it all turns out to be a trap, and forseeng this with the force, Luke decides to interrupt his training and goes to Cloud City to rescue his friends. So he just goes to another planet after having just a couple of hours of training? And yet he's able to have a fight with Darth Vader? That doesn't makes any sense. The Reasonable Explanation... The key is in the word Planet. The Cloud City is on planet Vespin, and Dagobah is a completely different planet in a completely different part of the Galaxy, if you look on a map of the
Star Wars universe, you'll see that Dagobah and Vespin aren't really that close, and let's not forget that Luke's training started before the Milenium Falcon arrived at Vespin, so if we consider that for a minute you'll see that Luke's training wasn't that short. Not only that, Vespin and Dagobah aren't even in the same solar system, so the time periods in both planets are definitely different from one another. One hour in Vespin could be one week on Dagobah and vice versa, we really don't know much about the planets in the Star Wars universe, so everything is possible. If we take all these things into consideration, we can now conclude that Luke's training with Yoda must have been at least a month long, which sounds like a more reasonable amount of time for someone to train to be a Jedi. And with that being said, let's conclude by saying that if you find a plot hole in a movie, think about it for a moment, maybe you just missed something from it, maybe the answer lies just beneath the surface.
