They could have at least waited until the volume thing left their screen before taking a screen shot.

You’ll never shave .05 seconds off your smuggling runs with that kind of attitude. You need every advantage to outrun those star destroyers.

I’m not a bad pilot myself, we don’t have to listen to this.

10 g’s? I’d pay that for that speed. I’m pretty sure my family may have to use my whole life insurance policy for the cleanup and then some.

NP, though! Some pilots charge that much just for a ride.

It has been theorized that the 12 Parsecs boast is related to the fact that Han took a very dangerous shortcut that would be virtually impossible for any other ship, possibly due to the Falcon’s superior navigation systems and the captain’s quick reroutes between hyperspace runs.

It’s been theorized, yes. And I have just one response to that theory.

We all know one of the writers simply done goofed.

Maybe, but a parsec is a measure of distance in “normal space” or sublight speed. Once you exceed light speed, you are now compressing space, and the distance you would have to travel between two points. Hence, if the Millennium Falcon were attempting to do the Kessel Run in hyperspace, one could easily surmise that doing it in 12 parsecs is a boast at how much faster over lightspeed the Falcon was running, which would in fact compress space and relate the speed directly to the speed over c that the Falcon was capable of travelling.

What the hell. Is this amateur hour? They left the volume down icon on when taking their screenshot.
