the Spice Mines of Kessel are located in something called the Maw Cluster. it is a cluster made up of several black holes. as we all know, black holes have an extremely great gravity pull. there is something around black holes calles The Schwarzschild Radius, also known as The Event Horizon. this EV is the limit from which light can escape. beyond the EV even light cannot escape. the futher you are away from a black hole, the lesser the gravity pull, meaning that you can travel at slower speeds to escape its gravity pull; but the closer you get to a black hole, the faster must you travel.
now, the closer you are to one of those black holes in the Maw Cluster, the shorter the distance to the Kessel, meaning you dont need to take de-tours. and you we know from what ive written above that the closer you get to one of those black holes, the faster you travel. this concludes that if the Millenium Falcon can do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, it means that it needs a shorter route through the Maw Cluster to get to Kessel, ie the MF travels very fast.
make any sense?
No it doesn't. He was boasting about the ships speed. If thats what he meant then he could have said it can move through dangerous environments. Or Im a good navigator. His statement is completly sensless. Just another movie opps.
