>Rey: "THIS SHIP MADE THE KESSEL RUN IN FOURTEEN PARSECS!"
>Han: "TWELVE!"
Really, assholes?
You had to have characters repeat this retarded misuse of parsecs, which is supposed to be a measure of DISTANCE AND NOT TIME?
And this was after fans bent over backwards trying to argue that Han in the OT was just saying random bullshit because he thought he was talking to clueless moisture farmers.
Even using the distance thing, it could be plausible, actually. say there were hazards along the route, like black holes or whatever, and you could cut down on a parsec or two by skirting around the Event Horizon. like a shortcut. Not something a slower ship or smarter captain would even risk but Han makes out on it.

That does make sense actually. A lot of hyperspace charts arent just point A to point B, theres a lot of jumping around

about this really, the faster the ship can go past light speed. Say .5 for a Imp Star Deuce while the falcon can hit .7, the shorter distances it has to make with it's jumps.
So the falcon doing it in 12 shows its fast enough to skirt closer to mass gravity shadows or stellar events.

It's funny that you call out the parsec line when you apparently don't know anything about space or how FTL works in Star Wars.
>>63851986
It's poetry you idiot.
In America, people give distances in terms of time. E.g. you ask someone how far away somewhere is this tell you 10 or 20 minutes, not 10 or 20 miles.
But because this is SPACE, people quote times in terms of distance. So instead of saying the run took less than 12 minutes, they say it took less than 12 parsecs.
It's George Lucas's brilliant way of grounding things in terms that are almost familiar, but just slightly off to remind us it's another universe.

Doesn't work, dipshit.
Guys
Guys
Its a fantasy movie. Please turn off you computer and go outside, It made me smile when Rey and Han said that. It reminded me of the good times of ANH.
Please stop shitting over everything with your geek shit about "ITS A MISUSE OF PARSECS! OUTRAGE!"
Everyone is fucking aware its a misuse of Parsecs thanks to the internet for the past 20 years, including JJ Abrams. There is no need to change it.

The earth is contained inside a habitable atmosphere which is not tecnicly space due to the density of atoms.
You are a retard .

The kessel run was a race to see who could hit a certain speed in a matter of distance. Check mate niggers.
>>63851986
Fuck you this has been explained by the writers themselves and quoted a thousand times over
>>63853418
This made me laugh.

ever hear of short cuts dick weed?

>you ask someone how far away somewhere is this tell you 10 or 20 minutes, not 10 or 20 miles.
Since when should you give units of time when someone asks for a unit of distance? Both time or distance as an answer would be correct, but your assumption as to what is always done is faggoty at best.only a Sith deals in absolutes, faggot. Except for that statement. It's the exception to the rule.
> You had to have characters repeat this retarded misuse of parsecs
It was intentional you idiot.

Kessel Run is around a black hole, getting less distance means cutting dangerously close.
>>63851986
This exchange would have been funnier if she'd said twelve, and he'd said an even lower number.
>>63852417
Going around black holes has been the canonical explanation forever, and fits with Han's speech about the importance of computing your jumps so as not to pass through stars.
OP, once you've touched a vagina you'll see how stupid this shit all is.
maybe its a matter of acceleration
Parsec is distance. It was used wrongly in the first film and is used wrongly here again as a self-referential joke.
Bazinga.
>>63851986
You do realize there are races where the winner is the one who drives the shortest distance, right?

>>63852295
That was the actual EU explanation.
The Kessel Run weaves around some to avoid various gravity wells and black holes. The navcomputer on the Falcon is so damn good it can figure out a shorter route and the ship's fast enough to actually pull it off.
You all know they put this into the movie for the sole purpose of irknge people that got butthurt the first time, right?
MFW JJ just trolled the trolls.

once you hit light speed all speed is equal. time through light speed is the speed of light. all thats left is spacial optimizations

for your edification:
According to Star Wars: The Essential Atlas, the Kessel Run was an 18-parsec (59 light-year) route used by smugglers to get around Imperial blockades. So why would Solo describe how quickly he traveled it using a word that described distance?
It turns out that the expanded universe of the Star Wars franchise — the additional books and content created within the Star Wars universe but outside of the films — contains an answer to that question. The Essential Atlas maps a Kessel Run whose path travels around “The Maw,” a cluster of black holes. To cut down on the distance traveled, pilots could dangerously skirt the edges of the black holes, while trying to avoid spaghettification. If Solo was a skilled enough — or crazy enough — pilot to deviate from the typical route and fly close enough to the black holes to cut nearly 20 light-years off his space odometer, then his ship was fast indeed — the power required to stay out of the gape of an event horizon is something worth bragging about.

So by being able to dance around singularities, the Millennium Falcon establishes itself as a fast ship — and Solo’s famous brag makes sense. But this brings up a bigger, more inherent problem: The Kessel Run that Solo completed covered nearly 40 light-years of cosmos. If the blasters and speeders and starships of Star Wars more or less follow the laws of physics, taking that famous run even once would change the entire chronology of Han Solo’s life.
just watched a new hope, after han says the line obi wan gives him a 'you are an idiot' look, it was supposed to be han boasting but not really knowing what he's talking about
