    I've read somewhere that time on Dagobah could easily be different than time in real space - especially with the large Force presence there.

    I'm sorry but I can't find it. I read it a few years ago to be honest. It took the idea that it took the Falcon a few weeks to travel on sublight speed to Bespin and added in using the Season 6 Clone Wars Yoda series to show that the Force treated Dagobah differently, allowing time to move slower there. This would also allow for the fact that Yoda says in ESB he's trained Jedi for 800 years while in ROTJ he mentions he's over 900 years old.

    However, the way its filmed, I think we are meant to believe it was a few weeks of intense training. Remember in the end, Luke had learned a lot of Jedi skills, BUT, he was not powerful enough to defeat the Emperor. It was his love and forgiveness to his father that defeated the Emperor.

    As there is no in-movie explanation, everything is just guessing. BUT:

    The Falcon did NOT travel by any means with its sub-light drives. It would have taken them many years and Ben Solo would have reached the aged to go to school when arriving at Bespin.
    • One theory is, that the Falcon travel riding piggyback the bridge of the ISD through hyperspace, while leaving Hoth system’s asteroid belt to arrive this way in the Anoat system, where the Imperial fleet spread out afterwards.
    • To fly from Anoat to Bespin, they used the Falcon’s hyperdrive auxiliary-system, which took 20 times the normal traveling speed, but was feasible enough (the Falcon has a basic class 0.5 hyperdrive).
    • So let’s say with a class 1 hyperdrive, Anoat to Bespin would take 3 days, which would sum up to 30 days with the back-up.
    If Yoda trained Jedi for 800 years at the age 900 years, so he started to train them being a Jedi master himself at the age of 100 years. No warping the space-time continuum needed to do that.

    I never heard any canon (and none-canon) source saying that places with large force concentrations such as Dagobah would warp time, just to cover up the minimal inconsistency within Kasdan’s and Brackett’s script for ESB regarding the time needed to train a Jedi.

    Is there an official answer to this question?

    I can only speak for myself but I reject any theories or rationalizations that come at the the expense of the lead characters:
    1. The Avenger has been damaged during its stay in the asteroid field, Captain Needa says so himself in his holo-message to Vader. Thus, probability is high that it will travel straight to an Imperial shipyard for repairs, where the Falcon would be discovered and Solo's chances for escape would be even worse. I don't think Han Solo is that foolish to risk something like that.
    2. Why is Solo giving Leia (another?) lecture about Imperial procedure (i.e. they dump their garbage before jumping into hyperspace)? Had they piggyback jumped into the Anoat System, Leia would have already witnessed that before, but Solo feels Leia is too dumb and needs a second explanation?

    'How long do you think Luke trained with Yoda at Dagobah?'

    A lot longer time than Rey did to discover she could do far more advanced stuff than Luke could achieve - even with two Jedi masters present.

    Yes that pesky Newtonian Law of Time Dilation never rears its head in the SW Universe.....I discussed this in another thread....blasting along at sublight for 40 days would be big problem, if SW were not just a fantasy

    sublight itself is also relative because it doesn't tell at what speed whether it's 1mph or mach 10.

    Yep....blasting along at .25c for 40 days would be a problem for everyone else not on your starship.....

    I cannot find it now, but during the Celebration one of the bigwigs (either Filoni or Pablo) said that it took Millennium Falcon two months to reach Bespin without hyperdrive. So, that's pretty much how long Luke spent on Dagobah. I hate that I cannot remember who because I said to myself that I should at the time. But, whoever said it, said that was their best estimate.

    Agree.

    I read a quote on Twitter about Filoni saying: "I could easily go to a panel that was Dave Filoni reciting food recipes, and I'd probably love it all the same." LOL. I'd do that too, the guy is cool.

    But yeah, going back to the comment, I agree it makes sense and maybe in the canon they would not exactly point out how long but it is open to interpretation.

    Less than 3 weeks, it was too bad we didn't see scenes like this one.
