And a parsec is a measure of distance, not time. Making the Kessel run in 12 parsecs means George Lucas is an ignoramus, not that millennium falcon is fast.
Lucas back engineered that one. What Solo was referring to was finding a new, shorter hyperspace route that hit all the stops on the Kessel Run, which clipped eight parsecs off the distance.
I believe the technical term for this is ‘cooking the books’.
