As all sci-fi pedants are aware, a parsec is a measure of distance, not time.

Rank: Super forum user		When some of these cases are reported I would seriously like to know whether these companies took safety advice, or not, and if they did what that advice was. It would be interesting to know. Regards

A parsec is a distance of 3.26 light years or equal to 19 trillion miles...far away.

A parsec is a distance of 3.26 light years or equal to 19 trillion miles...far away. So technically you could do the route by taking a shortcut across say a dangerous asteroid field which usual shipping lanes avoid hence doing the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs instead of the usual 15. The dialogue stands.

Rank: Super forum user		Consider this. Since Star Wars is like, err, made up, maybe they have used the term "Parsec" and it is a different word to that used in the real world............ so you are assuming too much! In their world, the units could have been "bananas" or "goats" or "yards". Remember.............none of it is real. And, BTW, there is no light sabre or death star. So, let's not nit pick. Sorry to burst any bubbles. May the force be with you.

Rank: Super forum user		I think you will find you can buy a light sabre at Argos ( other retailers probably sell them too). Obviously not a fully functioning one as they are intended for children, but a light sabre none the less. NB Solo was also responsible for maintenance as well (I spotted him fixing it on many occasion), so it is his own fault for shoddy work.
