12 Parsecs facts
While investigating facts about 12 Parsecs, I found out little known, but curios details like:
When Han Solo said he did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs he was not trying to describe how fast his ship was going. Instead he was bragging that he had done a shorter route of the Kessel Run. He did this by going closer to a black hole than most dared to go.
In a commentary on the Star Wars Blu-ray, Lucas stated that ships in the SW universe can't travel in straight lines while in hyperspace due to collisions with celestial objects. So, distance is an important factor in how quickly a ship can get from point A to point B. 12 parsecs was true.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 4 of the best facts about 12 Parsecs I managed to collect.
