I've been talking with my friend and I don't know if it was ever stated, and I've tried to find out, how long was Luke on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back?--VadersFist666 21:29, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
- To sort of answer your question, Pablo Hidalgo stated in Star Wars Insider 99 that he estimates it took the Millennium Falcon "about a month" to travel from the Anoat system to the Bespin system on its malfunctioning hyperdrive following the Battle of Hoth. So I would say roughly about that time. I believe there are other sources that deal with this time span, specifically The Essential Atlas and/or The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader. Perhaps check those.

- Possibly longer still, because they had to get from the Hoth System to the Anoat System (there ought to be some kind of delay between when they left the Asteroid field and when they entered the outskirts of the Anoat System, attacked by Avenger.) Also, they gave no indication as to precisely how long the Falcon was in the asteroid field to begin with (how long it was buried in the gullet of the exogorth, for example), whereas Luke left Hoth on a fully functional hyperdrive and went straight to Dagobah without delay. So probably a little over a month (ie may six weeks?) It's speculation at this point. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith -Just shy, not antisocial: You can talk to me!- 16:35, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Also, they gave no indication as to precisely how long the Falcon was in the asteroid field to begin with (how long it was buried in the gullet of the exogorth, for example) The Falcon spent several days within the asteroid field, according to Galaxy Guide 3. This information can be found within the Hoth asteroid field article itself. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:01, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
