[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bond, James Bond: [QB] At the end of The Empire Strikes Back, they show the Falcon rendezvousing with the Rebel fleet way off the ecliptic of the galaxy. It must still be in the galaxy because Vader says "What of the reports of the Rebel fleet massing at Sollust?". Maybe Sollust is way off the ecliptic. Anyway, Hyperspace has got to be faster then any warp factor to get there in what appeared to be a matter of days, maybe weeks at most. ROTJ takes place less then a year later so the travel times must be fairly short, since Lando needed time to set up shop in Jabba's Palace. I would equate Hyperdrive speed with Transwarp or Quantum Slipstream rather then any conventional warp factor. And when Han said "she'll do .5 past lightspeed", that doesn't nescessarily mean a percentage of the speed of light beyond c. He could mean 5 points beyond lightspeed on a Hyperspace scale. Maybe each point representing 10 / 100 / 1,000 times c or something? [/QB][/QUOTE]
