Is it me, or is the implication of the Cantina scene that Han would have dumped Luke and Ben into space if the Empire did show up? Obi Wan: "We'd like to avoid the Empire." Han: "Not a problem. My ship can outrun Imperial ships." Greedo: "Jabba doesn't like smuggler who dump their cargo." Han: "Well it was the Empire, what was I supposed to do? Avoid them? Outrun them?" Star Wars fans: "What a cool guy."

Maybe the dumping happened before he got the Falcon? Regardless, that bit with Greedo added tension.

It's very tense for Han, and it's also a frying pan/fire situation for Luke and Ben. This dude they just signed on with is nowhere near as incredible as he claims to be. Not only is he poo poo at dodging the empire, he's got every bounty hunter in the galaxy chasing his rear end.

Now wait a parsec. How does any of us know that parsec means in Star Wars what parsec means on Earth? Using the actual meaning of parsec as proof that Han Solo really sucks at what he does and is straight up lying to Ben and Luke about the Kessel Run feels like a stretch. It's a fun thought experiment though because it leads down the "Han is actually a really lovely person from the start" hole which evolves to him developing into a pretty stand-up hero by the end of things.

Excuse me for one second. How does any of us know that steamed ham means in Albany what steamed ham means in Springfield? Using the actual meaning of steamed ham as proof that Principal Skinner really sucks at steaming clams and is straight up lying to Superintendent Chalmers about the smoke coming from his oven feels like an isometric exercise. It's a delightfully devilish explanation though because it leads down the "Skinner had actually ruined a roast at the start" hole which leads to him disguising Krusty Burgers as his own cooking for an unforgettable luncheon.

A parsec, like a meter, is a unit of measurement that refers to some aspect of our own Solar System, which means that either Star Wars actually takes place in our own galaxy's future in which those concepts have survived or for narrative purposes the characters only appear to speak English and "parsec" is actually the closest translation of some alien unit of distance.

I think it's pretty obvious the Kessel Run is a Rubik's Cube solving competition (or similar). You're on a ship going a steady, pre-determined speed and thus you can then use distance as a time measurement as well. I dunno, seems obvious to me.

I can believe Han Solo became famous across the galaxy as a legendary smuggler after he played a pivotal role in defeating the Empire.

Captain von Trapp posted:I hate to say it, but that's bang on. In 1977 that's exactly how audiences would have read the scene. Our subsequent exposure to the gigantic black hole of retconning over the last few decades colors our reading of that scene, but as written Han is certainly not The Galaxy's Best Smuggler. He's at a dive bar hoping to pick up extra cash by driving for Uber. TFA adds to this in an interesting way too, when the cast from The Raid confronts Solo on his new freighter about how he's scammed everyone, I got the implication that even back then Jabba didn't want him dead for having to drop a bunch of shipments before being boarded, that was Han's bullshit excuse for selling the stuff to someone else and if he only did that to Jabba every once in a while no one would give a poo poo because hey cost of doing business with smugglers.

The moment you start caring about what "parsec" means is the moment your childhood dies, and oddly enough, also the moment you totally fail at being able to accurately read and interpret film.

Nobody ‘cares’ what parsec means. It simply means a unit of distance. What people do care about is the fact that Han (a failed, cash-hungry libertarian career criminal) lied about the speed of his truck. (Also, Han doesn’t know that an arcsecond is a geometric term.) Fans care so much about the idea of ‘a truck that goes fast’ that they warp the entire fabric of the universe to make Han’s lies about the fast truck into objective fact. It’s some crazy cult-like thinking.
