Consider this, if I said my car can drive 200mph vs. my car can drive 200 flip florps, which is more impressive?)
That comparison makes absolutely no sense.
Exactly! If Han is saying “parsec” incorrectly as a bit of technobabble, then he must assume Luke and Ben don’t know what parsec means. So he might as well be saying flip florps, when he could instead be saying minutes or hours, which would make much more sense and therefore be a lot more impressive.
I just don’t get why he would just be making that up. “Made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs.” If he told me that and it was just some random bullshit I would think “yeah okay, that means nothing to me.” If the Kessel Run is an actual thing and parsecs in this universe actually relate to time, and I heard that stat, I’d be like “okay, wow, maybe this is a fast ship.”
