Port Royal, a city in southeastern Jamaica, was founded in 1518. It was once an important location that served as a hub of Caribbean shipping and commerce. In 1692, Port Royal sustained devastating damage after an earthquake, which caused much of the city to fall into the sea. This video on quicksand and liquefaction explains the geologic circumstances that cause disasters such as Port Royal. Via Geeks are Sexy.

Wouldn't it make more sense to compare it to the length of time that a man other than Han, Luke, Obi Wan, Darth Vader, or the Emperor is speaking? I imagine that number would still be pretty significantly larger than 63 seconds, since, as far as I can recall, most of the secondary characters were male.
Heck, we could just compare the two lists of characters with significant roles and see something worth noting:
Female characters with significant roles: Leia
Male characters with significant roles: Han, Luke, Obi Wan, Darth Vader, The Emperor, Lando, Chewie, Jabba...
That's just off the top of my head, and given that I haven't watched those movies in years, I may have missed a few, but I honestly cannot recall another female with a significant role in the entire initial trilogy.
