so errmmm, I think that GL didn't consider that but only thought that parsec would sound cool. he couldn't image that SW would develop in such a phenomenon and that gee...eerrmmm...'fans' would go and question every word used in the story. personally I don't care if it really makes sense. if you're ready to accept that there are jedis, wookies, lightsabers, laser pistols, hyperspeed ships etc to do the kessel run in 12 parsecs shouldn't bother one much. and maybe in the SW universe parsec means sth completely different...
