*** Even taken at face value, there are just a few days (from what we see) between the Falcon's departure from Hoth to the showdown on Cloud City. During that same time, Luke flies off to Dagobah to learn advanced telekinesis from a muppet before having to cut his training short just as Yoda was starting to enjoy riding piggyback around the swamp to go stage a rescue. ''So'', did the Falcon's journey take weeks/months and Boba Fett was content to sit there stalking them for that long instead of calling in the Imperials immediately, or did Luke's Jedi training take mere days?
*** We see Han Solo tricking the Empire and floating away with their debris, only to be followed by Boba Fett. Yet, the Empire is later said to arrive ''before'' Han and crew do. It's only stated that they "arrived just before you did", but obviously, the Imperials need to have been there long enough to get their point across, station and hide their forces, and then move their ships out of sight. This should at least take half a day. One also wonders that if the Empire knew where Han was going to go before he even got there, why they needed a bounty hunter to follow him in the first place?
