I love this kind of thing.
As an aside, I want to be the first to propose calling one of the planets "Kessel".
That way, one day, a human may make the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs.
As an aside, the next SW anthology film is supposedly Han Solo's backstory. People assume that it will feature the Kessel run. Which raises the question - how will they explain the 12 parsecs? Any guesses?
The expected distance from his start point was a lot more than twelve parsecs, due perhaps to an asteroid field, nebula, or some such. But Han found a way through the obstacle, cutting the distance to 12 parsecs?
