it's a fast ship because it goes fast

Posted by: slipping jimmy (a.k.a mickpix) on Jul 07, 15:29 in response to Dorfman's post A parsec is a unit of distance, not time. Solo was not...

the clear implication of Han's statement is that he made the Kessel Run faster than anyone else that Ben and Luke might talk to into the cantina

THR: Christopher Miller and Phil Lord are tackling Star Wars anthology: Han Solo (not the same as the one linked to Josh Trank) Antibody Jul 07, 13:01

In before CPRAT as Han Solo. {nm} Antibody Jul 07, 13:18

+ {nm} emoticripple Jul 07, 13:19

there is no actor they can hire that anyone will believe is actually young Han Solo {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 07, 13:39

they'll find some cute unknown Aussie actor under a log or something and turn him into a Star. CSBD Jul 07, 13:44

I think with something like this you wanna find an unknown. {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 13:54

agreed. CSBD Jul 07, 14:06

the same people hired somebody to be a young Indiana Jones {nm} RazorHawk Jul 07, 13:45

Twice, three times if you count the kid. {nm} Antibody Jul 07, 13:47

I am more interested who is gonna play Sana {nm} RazorHawk Jul 07, 13:47

A new actor is also needed for Chewbacca. Mayhew can hardly walk. {nm} Antibody Jul 07, 13:52

River Phoenix, RIP {nm} tealfan Jul 07, 13:52

he worked well but as a teenage Indy. i don't think they would go that young with Han {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 07, 14:18

hmm...would have been 45 today...would have been too old anyway {nm} tealfan Jul 07, 16:21

THR tweet says May 2018 Release Date (jumped ahead of Boba Fett) Antibody Jul 07, 13:20

Official Star Wars statement Antibody Jul 07, 13:33

IN a galaxy far far away... Everything is awesome {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 13:51

The screenplay is written by Lawrence Kasdan and Jon Kasdan. {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 13:53

yay! The Kessel Run! RazorHawk Jul 07, 13:58

LOVE IT!!! Dorfman Jul 07, 14:04

i look forward to them explaining how a unit of distance becomes a unit of time {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 07, 14:17

an example.... RazorHawk Jul 07, 14:39

Yeah. What Razor said. {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 15:24

This has already been explained a million times. Parsec is distance. Han Solo Cut the distance of the Kessel run Dorfman Jul 07, 15:22

A parsec is a unit of distance, not time. Solo was not referring directly to his ship's speed when he made this claim. Instead, Dorfman Jul 07, 15:23

it's a fast ship because it goes fast slipping jimmy Jul 07, 15:29

which he definitely did if he cut off that much distance {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 18:50

this is all retcon bull****. it's clear from his tone in the conversation that he meant time {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 07, 19:00

Personally, I like the theory that Han threw in "parsecs" to see if he could play Obi-Wan for a sucker. RogerMore Jul 08, 07:36

never heard that theory. i like it so i will gove you a +1. other theory is just that a long time ago, galaxy far away, parsec meant time {nm} islander Jul 08, 09:05
