That made me laugh because I didn't even notice, whereas I am always complaining about this in TV shows and films.
I just don't get why they had to go with that. They could have said Palpatine would be ready to attack within a week, or whatever, and it wouldn't have changed anything. Instead we have to accept that not only did all the on-screen action happen within those 16 hours, but all the off-screen action too - like, Lando going around raising the rebellion and getting thousands of people to arm up, jump in their spaceships, and organising an attack within ... what, 28 minutes?
And yeah, I mean, Disney pretty much own the planet at this point, and they didn't buy the franchise to let it sit on the shelf, so they're going to saturate the market with Star Wars until the MCU looks like a struggling Youtube series in comparison. Which just makes me all the more convinced that this is a good point to get off.
