I know I'm late to the party. Getting caught up on my Uncle Orson reviews everything, but seriously, where have you been?

Most of us have known for forty years what was meant by "doing the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs". I assume that the only reason they put it into the Solo movie was so that people who weren't particularly clever at astro-navigation would stop pointing out how dumb it was.

I never knew what it meant, and I noted the disambiguation in the Solo movie.

I'm not a Star Wars fanatic; so I didn't really have an opinion either way about it.

I was just thrilled to have so much Chewbacca in the movie. Love that guy.
