You are aware that light speed still takes time right?  We are also talking about going from 1 galaxy to the next.  A galaxy is a huge.  Our own galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.  It takes about 4 hours for our Sun to reach Pluto.  

So the Falcon even going .5 above light speed (which is a physics impossibility, however suspension of belief) would still have to go from 1 galaxy to the next and that would take more than 1 hour.

I would suspend belief and say that it took 1 week as the shortest amount of time, and that would be enough time to get a rudimentary grasp on the basics of being a Jedi.
