I never understood why they use a distance unit to measure time...

Because the Kessel run is is a smugglers trade route that travels by a cluster of black holes... so anyone who can do it in less parsecs

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Has to come closer to the danger of the black holes in order to travel shorter so basically have huge nuts and be a good pilot. Boom.

I went to a Parkland High school. Not nearly as impressive though. Unless you count the amount of times police/fire department was called..

But isn't a parsec a unit of measurement, not time?

9 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 3

Aren't all measurement units units of measurement? I mean, one second is a unit of measurement, as is one meter, one mile per hour...

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Unit of distance, technically...

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Exactly, that's the point. It makes sense if you consider getting close to a black hole or something as it was once described to me.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

The Kessel Run is an extremely dangerous route leading close to the Maw Cluster of black holes. the closer you get to the black holes, 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

The faster your ship has to be to save you, and the bigger your balls have to be. Hence, less distance = faster ship = more awesome smuggler

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Like if going through an asteroid field, you make it through in the shortest distance but at the same speed as your contemporaries...

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It was reconned to either require getting close to dangerous black holes, or Han testing if Luke/Obi were rubes. Totally not a script error!

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Unfortunately I couldn't find any references to it in the movies or TV show, so the retcon was retconned when they retconned the extra stuff

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It wasn't a retcon, it was just an explanation of why it made sense that wasn't given until after it was pointed out to cover up what was..

likely an error.

I hard a rumor that the intent of this line was that Han was trying to impress them with BS and that's my personal favorite justification.

Do highschoolers all have cars? How old are they in the US?

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

You can get a car at 16, which is the average age for most students Year 10-11. Some states are more lenient on permits; early as 15.5 YO.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Probably 15-18 if it's a Grade 9-12 school. Some kids will get a license in grade 10. Grade 11 & 12 for sure will have one.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

More like 13/14 until they're 17 (most kids I graduated with hadn't turned 18 yet). Licenses by 16, not many had cars tho.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Well 16 for permit and you need a certain amount of hours before you can get the liscence. Most people have cars to drive from parents.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Depends on when. When I was in HS, I got permit at 15 and license at 16. This was early 90's

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It can vary depending on state. Permit age for CA is 15 and a half, plus 40 hours of supervised driving for/until license at 16.
