How did Han Solo make the Kessel run in 12 parsecs?

Surprisingly enough, there are dissertations written on the subject



How Did Han Solo Make the Kessel Run in 12 Parsecs - Star Wars FAQ - Kessel Run in Under 12 Parsecs

I just figured that he was talking out his ass. Solo, while daring, came off as kind of a dipshit as well. More mouth than brains, you know.

A parsec is a unit of distance not a unit of time, the stunning part of the feat was that by navigating a field of black holes Han was able to shorten the distance from 18 parsecs to only 12 parsecs but the more important question is....






Have any of you nerds actually ever seen a vagina?

Yes. But, to the question at hand, being able to cut the distance by navigating around the black holes tells more about the ship's agility than its speed.

No.

It's the skills of the pilot.

Putting you in an F1 Car would prove disastrous without the proper skill.

Try winning a race in a regular car. I don't care if you're Michael Schumacher. It isn't going to happen.

Agility is just as important.

Thank you for supporting my statement.

Without the skills of the pilot/driver the capability of the machine will never be realized.

Skywalker-"10,000? We could almost buy our own own ship for that!"

Solo-"Oh yea, and who's gonna fly it kid! You?"
