In Star Wars Legends materials they realize this is too slow and straight up say hyperspeed is thousands of times faster then the speed of light.

It would have to be even faster than that probably. Many interstellar ships in the SW universe (particularly episodes 1-3) seem to be about the size of a large car or small plane. Unless the pilots are going into some sort of stasis for the trip, that means that they are cross interstellar distances in a matter of hours. Also, it seems (based on my admittedly limited experience with the franchise) that people will travel clear across the galaxy from one star system to the next.

Put all this together and that implies speeds that can let you get around the entire galaxy in timeframes comparable to how we in RL get around this planet - so almost anywhere in about 24hrs maybe (and usually a lot less).

Their ships are powered by love and pure undiluted Deus Ex Machina.
