Slave 1 never made the Kessel Run in less then 12 Parsecs.

Also that doesn't make sense. It's like saying "I ran a marathon in 12 miles."

AHHH-HAH! Not so, young padawan.

As per the Han Solo trilogy; the Kessel Run is more or less suicidal because it's a black hole field. Solo gets chased into it by Imps, and slingshots the MF through the edge of a couple black holes' gravity fields, thereby bending space and completing the run in less than the standard distance thought possible. CONTINUITY PRESERVED.

That, or a wizard did it.

Doesn't matter because:

1) The MF had nothing to do with it. It was Han's piloting skill and ingenuity that did it.

2) Even if he took this shortcut, why would he brag about distance rather than time? The most obvious answer is that there was faulty logic in the screen play, or it was another one of Harrison's adlibs that had to later be explained when the fans got pissed. Kinda like the Heisenberg compensator (which was later found to be unneeded by theoretical physicists anyway). I also don't buy the "slingshot" thing. Momentum gained is also lost plus additional energy due to friction. Star Trek also made this error in the Voyage Home when they tried to "slingshot" around the sun. Bullshit.
