it was re-connect in Solo.... its a matter of having a computer that can make a shorter route.

it's also a different universe with different languages and measurements, it just happens to have the same name

Dom Waite :
They didnt "fix" anything in solo and the original wasnt a mistake. The kessel run was a 20 parsec route that skirted a cluster of black holes

its not "some route" neil. it was the kessel run. and it was done in less than 12 parsecs

Element7, Dyad in the Force :
Parsecs have been a unit of distance in SW for a long time already. It hasn't been a unit of time since A New Hope.

StarWarsLawyer :
George Lucas said that Han Solo’s bragging using the incorrect term is because he’s a BS artist. SW novels and later movies correct that incorrect use

TheHighestFive :
In Solo they fixed it by showing he basically made a shortcut. So now it's more like "you completed a 500 mile trip in 480 miles"

Akbar Asher :
could it be that this is a hidden interaction formula, for example, like the Mendeleev-Clapeyron equation?

two strange points. one, there's a clone wars episode where Obi-Wan Kenobi uses the word parsec correctly.

It’s also got lightsabers and Wookiees.

Chatman :
In the star wars universe, the the average persons perspective on space-time is so sophisticated that they commonly refer to the with the same units

I bet there is a lot of things about star wars that bothers you.

Hey what if the universe wasn't expanding but time was speeding up. that's why no aliens after 14 billion years. we live extremely different speeds.

Next youll be telling me a lightyear isnt a unit of time 😂

Han Solo is a ConMan he’s making that s**t up he’s saying stuff so he can get paid.

(1) In the original EU of novels (Han Solo trilogy) they covered it. He flew so close to the edge of Black Holes to evade imperial blockade ships that

He’s talking about how well his ship can compute the rout to make it in the shortest distance (avoiding asteroids and such). Explained in “Solo”

Jessie Knott :
And those asteroids aren’t that close! Unless they are 600,000 miles big

Subject Delta :
Okay, so… ORIGINALLY, SW judged how fast a ship was by how close it can get to a black hole and still leave it’s pull, measured in parsecs.

Watch Solo. He does it faster because he is able to take a shorter path.

Cam Humphreys :
Sorry Neil, you've misunderstood this one, but I blame the poorly written script. A parsec is still distance in SW, when Solo says "fast" it means....

Matthew Frieze :
The Kessel run was a series of black holes in a line. Typically in the Kessel run you make big sweeps to avoid the gravity wells.

Sir JA9WAR48 :
The only way that would work is if they could use worm holes to shorten the distance thus reducing the time and increasing his speed…. But… NO
