Re: Kylo/Hux or Gen - The Kessel Run

I have always headcanonned that the Kessel Run being measured in parsecs is right and the challenge is not the speed but finding the shortest route, so I'd love to see this.

Enthusiastic anon from below here! In reality, a parsec is an official, scientific measure of distance, about 3.26 lightyears (31 trillion kilometers/19 trillion miles). According to the Kessel Run entry on Wookieepedia, the route is officially eighteen parsecs long.

Also, a mental image I have to share: Kylo flying so close to one of the black holes in the Maw that he's practically skipping across the event horizon, just to shave off more lightyears.

Oh I know a parsec is a unit of distance, it's just so many people over the decades take the '12 parsecs' as intended to be a unit of time and lol beecause that's not what a parsec is. Glad to know my headcanon is supported by the official retconning of the line that's been done since the original release. :D

My apologies! I misunderstood your previous comment, and apparently we are fellow fans frustrated with inaccuracies in the astronomical units of measure used by the fandom. But yep, both the Legends tab and the main canon tab for the Kessel Run on Wookieepedia explicitly say the Run is about shortest distance, not quickest time, in regards to parsecs.
