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

But Lucas being unclear is far more likely. He was the learner, not the master.

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

+ {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

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
