Turbolifts?

Do Star Wars ships have anything like turbolifts? Fast elevators that can move both horizontal and vertical?

I only wonder because of the size of many ships. It would be very unrealistic for repair crews to walk all through the ship... I think.

Getting from one side of the Death Star to the other would require a week's travel.

They had some fast "turbolift" type elevators in RotS.

Maybe when they made the movies they didn't realize how big those things were...

And I do remember that elevator. But I don't know if it could have gone horizontal. Which would be fine for traveling up and down, but there's two other important dimensions.

Yes they're called turbolifts.

Yes, there are turbolifts. They've been seen plenty of times.

Even then, we only see that they go up and down. Not necessarily side to side....

Then it's pretty damned lucky of them they got one that went right to that detention level.

It's just the Force working in their favor.

Luke wasn't that trained in it.

That'd have to be one of the lamer Jedi powers.

Right up there with "Force balloon animal" and "Force fashion sense".

I'm sure that Luke and Han can read Basic, Han was ex-Navy as well. Safe to say he knows how to use a lift.
