Star Wars – The Kessel Run Misinterpretation Explained

You know how scientists, and internet trolls like to remind us of the huge "mistake" in Star Wars about Han Solo making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs? Well...they shoulda done their research! It all makes sense after this explanation.

"You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?…It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs."―Han Solo

Scientists/people have pointed out that a parsec isn't a measure of time, but distance. So, how does the Millennium Falcon making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs make any kind of sense?

Well...

So, there you have it! The fastest hunk-o-junk in the galaxy, along with it's scoundrel of a pilot, and the hairiest of co-pilots, really DID make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs!
