# The Falcon made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.
But a parsec is a measurement of light time.

A fathom is about 6'.

# All well and good except that a parsec is not a measurement of time
A parsec is about 3 and a quarter lightyears

# erm
a parsec is a unit of distance, "equal to that required to cause a heliocentric parallax of one second of an arc, equivalent to 206,265 times the distance from the earth to the sun, or 3.26 light-years."

This is a well-known mistake in the original dialogue, at which I suspect that Barbarossa was poking fun when choosing the word 'fathoms'
