Star Wars confused parsecs with a unit of time, not light years.

  FYI there's apparently some retcon stuff about that, e.g. maybe the Kessel run is around a particularly dangerous area of space (black holes or w/e), so accomplishing it in LESS parsecs is something to brag about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    an earlier retcon was "that was Lucas's subtle way of showing that han solo talked a lot without necessarily knowing what he was taking about"

  1 parsec ~= 3.26 light years

  > you've got your units mixed up; minute is a unit of time, and light-year is a unit of distance.
