Star Wars

Wrong, it's a separate timeline of canon. Legends still has good stories that don't need to be told again.

Right, it's not a movie or TV show. If Disney had the balls to continue Legends canon alongside Disney canon, Shadows of the Empire would make a great film.

Thanks. Been a long time since I watched the originally trilogy. Got my death stars mixed up!

It did break a little bit of headcanon for me

It always kind of stuck out to me that Han talked up how the Falcon made the Kessel run, but said nothing about him being the pilot. That felt like something he would have bragged about too, like "I made the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs in this ship"

So I always kind of figured that maybe Lando still owned it when it made the run, or maybe Chewie was the pilot, or any other random circumstance that kept Han from being the pilot, but he just conveniently left that out.

There were three explanations for the line.

1: (the correct one) Han was making shit up to impress a farm boy, as seen by Obi-Wan smirking at the lie.

2: (Lucas's lie because the audience was dumb) It was a brag about how advanced the navigation computer is

3: (the EU fanon) it was a brag about the engines letting the Falcon cut distance travelled through the Maw.

The scene in Solo incorporated all three. The engines allow the Falcon to barely escape, the droid brain that is the nav computer plots a nearly impossible course, and Han still lies about it to Luke because the number he recounts is different from the line in A New Hope.

It was, quite honestly, a pretty impressive bit of fan theory unification.

I always assumed it was something like that; where even though it's a unit of distance, they might not have a direct route to get somewhere, so being able to get there in a shorter distance just implies he found a more direct route.

That or because it's a different galaxy, they simply have different units of measurement and in their galaxy a parsec is a unit of time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

But shit... Sounds like I hella need to see Solo 🤣

Really it was the ghost of L3-37 who managed to do it.

That’s one thing they are not consistent about at all in the SW universe, the rules of hyperspace.

In the final sequel film, a ship entering hyperspace is a deadly relativistic weapon that slices a star cruiser in half. In Rogue One, as the ad-hoc rebel fleet begins to flee at the approach of overwhelming force, fleeing ships bounce uselessly off like gnats.

Battlestar Galactica did ‘hyperspace’ best in my opinion. The atmospheric belly-flop maneuver was dramatic because they had well-established reasons why it was a risky and daring move.
