Getting a mass up to even .25c would be almost impossible, but it would still make those transit times 8-20s. A more realistic .001c (1000x faster than the fastest bullet) would mean times of half an hour to two hours. You can just maneuver out of the way of that, even in the slowest ship. | |

Same with projectiles. vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Matthew_Schroeder/… Blaster fire sometimes appears to be slower than light, but is indicated in other places to be light speed. Battles are conducted at relativistic distances. In ROTJ, the Rebel fleet appears to be about 2 light seconds from the Death Star when it fires. | |
