I always assumed he was on Dagobah for much longer. The Falcon's hyperdrive was destroyed, so it probably took more than a day to get to Bespin from Hoth; a week? a month? Certainly, they had supplies on the ship (Han and Chewie were just getting ready to leave Hoth), so they'd be able to get there, just at sub-light speed.

Well, they never changed clothes on the Falcon, so I assumed it was just a day.

Well, they probably didn't have a change of clothes for Leia. Chewie is naked. Han likes vests. You see; it works!

It's an Asian airline. Maybe if it goes down, people will actually try to find these.

I am sure it took several weeks to get Bespin. I think it was just a coincidence that the days we saw Han and Leia, they were wearing the same clothes.

Had we caught them on laundry day.

It's difficult to determine exactly how long Luke was on Dagobah the first time, but I feel pretty confident about asserting that it was certainly less than a week and probably as few as two or three days. [1]

He arrived at Dagobah within a day of departing from Hoth and left Dagobah before Han and co. arrived in Cloud City. The Millennium Falcon spent at least half a day evading Imperial pursuit immediately following the Battle of Hoth before heading to Bespin, which is essentially right next to Hoth [2] in galactic terms. So again, I am confident in asserting that Luke spent no more than 72 hours on-world during his first trip to Dagobah. There's no indication that the film edits out any sort of historical time gap, in other words.

I don't know what qualifies this dude as a "Star Wars Historian," but he has a map of the galaxy.

we're assuming days in a galaxy far, far away are 24 hours long just like ours...

Why wouldn't the entire universe base their days on the speed with which our planet circles our star?

I'm not sorry that I made jokes about boning your wife.

The training time is not nearly the most egregious discrepancy created by the prequels, I was just curious how others might explain it.

The time in which a planet completes a full orbit around a star would be a year. A day would be when a planet completes a rotation on its axis.

No, but only a nerd would care about it in a movie to this degree.
