Personally I never knew what a parsec was, and still have not looked at a dictionary definition.


Parsec: a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to about 3.25 light years.

=P

 

Defined by the distance an object would have to be from Earth if its parallax was one arcsecond.

Really I would prefer if no Earth units of measurement were mentioned in Star Wars.  (Not only parsecs, but meters when describing the width of the DS exhaust port.)  As a scientist, it really brings me out of universe.  Now if this was hard sci-fi, different story.
