It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs

>It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.

What did he mean by this? Parsecs are units of distance
How can you make something in less distance?

Space and time bend around mass

He flew dangerously close to ur moms pusy

he took a risky shortcut by flying very close to a group of black holes. less distance travelled = fewer parsecs. google is ur friend

He obviously took a dangerous shortcut that most don't

He took a dangerous shortcut nobody else considered taking

Lucas didn't know shit about space, nerds retroactively explained what Harrison meant when he said that line

Wait I just made this up, is it actually true?

IIRC the Kessel run goes around black holes or some shit and shortening the distance of the run means going closer to them which would require a fast ship to break free of their gravity or some shit
Alternatively its Star Wars, stop being autistic

>nobody ever talks about this guy

He meant he made the biggest shortcut through the hyperspace. He travelled 12 parsecs where there should be much more distance between the point A and point B.

>He doesn't use wormholes in time and space to travel distance in less distance
>He actually does the Kessel Run at one parsec per parsec

Get a load of this pleb

He's shitposting.

They going to show kessel run in han solo movie and it will be a seizure inducing nightmare.

The Kessel Run is a traveling salesman problem

I haven't seen that guy in such a long time.

Also he'd do it for Jabba and get his iconic blaster from Woody.

what the fuck is a parsnip?

chewie keeps growling because it turns out he's proved that P=NP but nobody understands him and he just gets more and more frustrated

He was full of shit, and it took the innate genius of Rey to see through his con artist bullshit.

She basically bypassed his facade and revealed the utter bollocks underneath the arrogant mask of Han Solo.

He was testing to see how big of a rube the old man was to gauge how much he should charge. Cut to Ben Kenobi with a ”negro, please. Distance =/= speed."-look on his face. Han's a fucking swindler. Then some douche EU writer takes him literally, and decides there is a shortcut for the Kessel run that is dangerously close to black holes. Only a super fast ship can take that route and not be sucked in.

In that due to its impressive speed the relativistic effects of length contraction meant in essence the falcon covered the Kessel run in less than the aforementioned 12 parsecs. Brainlet.

And yet we're going to get a Young Solo movie that will probably show the Kessel Run as Solo suggested.

George Lucas didn't know what a parsec was when he wrote the script. Then some EU writer tried to fix his mistake by coming up with

Yeah. In lore the kessel run goes round a black hole, Han managed to cut across part of it hence the 12 parsecs!

I do like this explanation but I also hate that nothing can just be a flaw with SW fans, they have to canonize every little mistake.

This. The script for the movie straight up states that the reaction from Ben was that he knew he was pulling a fast one, and that Han realized he wasn't dealing with an idiot like he had thought.

Any attempt to make it sound legit is a retcon that detracts from the scene.

Why was the devil in Star Wars?
