![]() ![]() ![]() Han says 12, and Chewie protests and Han shakes his hand back and forth and says “Not if you round down. At least, that’s what it sounds like if you pay attention to the exchange between Chewie and Han toward the end of the movie. And, the Falcon makes the Kessel Run in 13 parsecs. Second, Han instructs Beckett to pop a drop of raw hyperspace fuel into the engine, which will give the Falcon an extra boost.Īll in all, this explanation is totally feels like some Star Trek-level technobabble, but it all works out just great. A parsec is a unit of distance, not time. So, how did Han Solo make the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs Lets discuss HelloGreedo is an all-things Star Wars. Han Solo claimed that his Millennium Falcon made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. The MF is fast enough that it can skirt around the black hole at a closer distance, thus making the run in a shorter. If you can shorten the distance physically that. Especially so as a parsec is a measure of distance, not time. Because she’s an awesome and advanced droid, 元 is able to plot a shorter - and more dangerous - course through the maw. A Parsec is a unit of distance, not time. Completing the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs is a far better accomplishment than running 26.2 or 13.1 miles. Han decides they’re going to take a route that is much less safe, which is only possible for two reasons.įirst, at this point, the Falcon is actually being piloted by Han, but navigated by the brain of 元-37. Lando says that the Kessel Run takes “20 parsecs” but he’s talking about the safe route. In the movie, we learn that “the Kessel Run” just means navigating a spaceship through a series of crazy gravity wells, while trying to avoid space-bourn monsters lurking in the routes that aren’t designated as safe. The Kessel Run is a hyperspace route used to smuggle illegal substances to and from the spice mines of Kessel. Thankfully, however, an explanation soon emerged. In Solo, after years of confusion, we finally learn why Han boasted about a measurement of distance rather than time to complete a trip through outer space. That boast sparked a long-running debate among fans, because a parsec is a measurement of distance, equal to 3.26 light years, and not speed. Spoilers head for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Was it 12 parsecs or 13? Turns out Rey was probably right and Han is lying…a little bit. That’s right, Solo has retroactively validated Rey’s confusion about the Millennium Falcon’s Kessel Run record. Instead, he was referring to the shorter route he was able to travel by skirting the nearby Maw black hole cluster, thus making the run in under the standard distance, he may have indirectly referred to the speed of his ship here because to be able to go closer to black hole and still be able to get out of its gravitational pull you will need to be able to go faster.One of the funniest moments in Solo: A Star Wars Story also foreshadows a funny moment in The Force Awakens. Solo was not referring directly to his ship's speed when he made this claim. Han Solo claimed that his Millennium Falcon "made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs". Thus there was a high chance that pilots, weary from the long flight through real space, would crash into an asteroid. It took travelers in real space around The Maw (Black hole cluster) leading them to an uninhabitable-but far easier to navigate-area of space called The Pit, which was an asteroid cluster encased in a nebula arm making sensors as well as pilots go virtually blind. Worlds along the Kessel Run included Fwillsving, Randa, Rion, and possibly Zerm. The Kessel Run was an 18-parsec (Roughly 58 Light Years - Wikipedia) route used by smugglers to move glitterstim spice from Kessel to an area south of the Si'Klaata Cluster without getting caught by the Imperial ships that were guarding the movement of spice from Kessel's mines.
