The novel (which came out the year before the film) had Solo bragging that the Millennium Falcon did the Kessel Run "in less than twelve standard timeparts". |

It was obviously a blunder, but now they've retconned an explanation.IMO, the most plausible explanation is that Solo was trying to impress a rube who didn't know what a parsec was. Also, parsecs and light years are meaningless outside of the Earth given that they are both based on Earth-based phenomena. Technically, so are meters and seconds, and by extension, kilograms. |

Technically, so are meters and seconds, and by extension, kilograms.Actually, if you look at their definitions in Wikipedia, they are all now finally defined based on universal phenomena that don't rely on the existence of earth. It all depends on Planck's constant, h in E = h nu, being specified as exactly 6.62607004 × 10-34 m^2 kg / s |

But those weren’t the original definitions, and the numbers used are entirely arbitrary, in order to match the sizes of the old definitions. So a person who knows the definitions can explain them to some aliens so that they can understand Earth measurements with no knowledge whatsoever of the Earth (this was the principle behind the Voyager Golden Record), but they would not spontaneously arise outside of the Earth. |

It's fine, because they'll never get anything out of Princess Leia because she knows the art of mind control.And Corellians were originally supposed to have red skin. |

They're going to try to hype this up astronomically.I wonder if Carrie Fisher was ever recorded saying: "They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally, they became heroes." (Or Cindy Williams, or even Terri Nunn?) |
