You wanna know what bugs me the most about Episode 1.

How close are Naboo and Tatooine supposed to be? They were able to fly there in about a day (could be more, but unlikely that the situation on Naboo would last much longer). And they were well sublight (based on the speed of their passing the Trade fed Battleships, maybe .05-.1c).

This is of course outside of all the annoyances (JJB :pulsegun: ).

They weren't sublight, they were using the hyperdrive. They didn't use it while passing the blockade ships because the gravity well of the planet prevents them using the hyperdrive too close to it.

At the speed they were moving running the blockade Tatooine would have had to have been in the same system, heck the next planet over or even a moon, to have reached it without the hyperdrive.
