His navigation skills and the Millennium Falcon’s ability to perform in these hazardous conditions are what make him and this claim so impressive. Being common amongst smugglers, there was a route used by most that was the “safest” and shortest way to navigate the run, however Han was able to navigate the shortest distance by getting closer to the black holes, thus making the measurement parsecs rather than a standard unit of time. The run itself is treacherous - it runs through a cluttered asteroid field and is dangerously close to the Maw black hole cluster. The Kessel Run is a route used by smugglers to bypass Imperial Forces. You may be wondering just what the hell that famous sentence even means, given that parsecs are a measure of distance in the Star Wars universe, rather than time, but don’t worry, we’ll break it down so you can truly appreciate just how incredible Han is at flying the Millennium Falcon. This may seem like just a throwaway line to build credibility for Han while most of us don't actually know what he’s talking about, but the Kessel Run is no small feat, especially when done in under 12 parsecs! Han Completed The Kessel Run In Less Than 12 Parsecsīig deal, right? Wrong.
