![]() Long before The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm, the Expanded Universe - a collection of novels, comics, video games, and various other published stories - made up the bulk of the Star Wars saga, and they were all considered canon. Of course, these are mere theories, and Lucasfilm even had some of their own in Legends. ![]() ![]() One of the wildest theories is that Han Solo and Chewbacca are actually time travelers, which is owed to the idea that, since they skirted the edge of the Maw in the Kessel Run, they were able to travel through time to make the Kessel Run via a shorter distance. A common belief is that Captain Solo piloted through black holes to shorten the distance, but that was never confirmed nor alluded to in the movies. While many fans believed George Lucas simply made an error in the script, other fans have gone to great lengths to explain the parsec's use. So, why would Han Solo use that term as proof of how fast his spaceship is? It's not like someone would claim they were the fastest runner because they ran a mile in less than 2,000 feet. After all, a parsec is a measurement of length - equal to approximately 19 trillion miles (or 3.26 light years) in both real-life and Star Wars canon - not time. Right from the start, Han Solo always made it a habit of introducing the Millennium Falcon as the ship that " made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs," but that statement has drawn a considerable amount of confusion over time.
