    If it lasts more than 12 parsecs you're probably in the wrong franchise.

    a real parsec or a star wars parsec? because a real one is a measure of distance where in star wars it is a measure of time.

    Here in Pennsylvania, time IS a measure of distance.

    they apparently retconned around the statement to suggest that the kessel run is through a series of gravity wells that make it difficult to navigate through hyperspace, most pilots take a longer, safer, course.

    If you read the book, it is a measure of distance. Everyone just misunderstands because Star Wars didn't set up the context in the movie. Kessel Run is full of black holes, thus the shortest distance was the accomplishment.

    Also it's not just about plotting a route, it's about the acceleration capacity of a ship too. The faster you're already going and the faster you can accelerate the closer to event horizon you can plot the route while being able to avoid getting grabbed by the gravity.
