all that means is Han took a risk, it doesnt say anything about the falcon being particularly fast which was what he was trying to do bragging about it to obi won
yes,
but in a new hope obi wan specifically asks about the falcon being fast.
in response to that Han tells him "its the ship that did the kessel run in 12 parsecs"
nothing about the falcons speed made the 12 parsec kessel run a posibility, it only happened because Han took a risk.
so how is bragging about a 12 parsec kessel run a brag about your ships speed?
Hes in an old piece of shit ship and needs money. Did you miss the part where he lies a lot and tries to talk his way out of trouble? He basically sidestepped the question with something that was true, and to a random idiot they wouldn't know the difference
Wars tries to retcon it into making sense
The Kessel Run explanation is word for word from the Han Solo Trilogy novels which came out 25 years ago
If the b***h that wrote them didnt die 10 years ago you know Kennedy would have shoved her onto the writing team as a female empowerment stunt
The author did understand Boba Fett and the Hutts better than those clowns writing BoBF
Keep in mind he said that to answer's Obi-Wan's question of whether or not it was a "fast ship." Gloating about taking an off-road shortcut doesn't answer that question.
Are you fricking moronic OP? >for me to get from one side of rapid filled river to the other is 1 mile >since rapids are so bad most travel around the river, which is 5 miles of travel >if I say I crossed the river in 1 mile, it means I somehow got over the rapids
>yes, but you only got over the rapids because you took the risk, it doesnt mean your canoe is fast
It means my canoe could handle rapids. Luke says "What a piece of junk". And then Han brings up the Kessel run and then how fast the ship could go. So clearly the Falcon isn't a piece of junk if it could withstand the dangers of the Kessel run.
Remember when Han Solo got his name Solo cause some guard was like hey youre alone thats like being Solo, and remember when the director or some shit thought this idea was so amazing it's what inspired him to make the movie, unironically?
The dumbest explanation is in Han Solo movie where for his lie, he immediately sticks to the number he says in the original movie. Do these writers not know how lies work? It gets exaggerated over time so the number should be higher than the one they are referencing and he'll say later which is shorter than the original lie.
Who gives a frick about the reality of your bullshit space opera.
I blame lucas for everything, even the sequel trilogy.
Yes, the run itself isn't a fixed distance.
It just works
all that means is Han took a risk, it doesnt say anything about the falcon being particularly fast which was what he was trying to do bragging about it to obi won
Its called bragging
yes,
but in a new hope obi wan specifically asks about the falcon being fast.
in response to that Han tells him "its the ship that did the kessel run in 12 parsecs"
nothing about the falcons speed made the 12 parsec kessel run a posibility, it only happened because Han took a risk.
so how is bragging about a 12 parsec kessel run a brag about your ships speed?
Because he's a swindler and it worked.
The story is all the matters.
He got the job didn't he.
You would be useless in negotiating
Hes in an old piece of shit ship and needs money. Did you miss the part where he lies a lot and tries to talk his way out of trouble? He basically sidestepped the question with something that was true, and to a random idiot they wouldn't know the difference
But it's was fast enough to to outrun a blackhole
Sounds like you haven't even made the Kessel run. I run through Kessel like butter, my Black person.
>throw-away technobabble line that implies the ship is fast
>Disney Wars tries to retcon it into making sense
soulless

The idea han was just bullshitting is better imo.
Of course Lucas knew that. Has Solo is the moron. That's he people easily doubt him.
He basically drove off road instead of following the course, you idiot
>OP thinks he's clever for one reason or another but is really a fricking moron, again
Exactly moron, he found the fastest way like Columbus thought he was going to do with India. He's saying he's one of the best navigators out there.
Nah, the ship's navigator was that Fleabag Fembot, remember?
Keep in mind he said that to answer's Obi-Wan's question of whether or not it was a "fast ship." Gloating about taking an off-road shortcut doesn't answer that question.
yeah that is clearly a retcon to try to explain away the mistake
>off-roading in space
>still around
>obviously not a wuss like you
>durr bUt tHat doesn't meAn he Was fast!
they tried to explain that to Harrison one time, and he said "I don't give a shit nerds, get away from me" then went off to bang Carrie some more
>YWN bang Carrie Fisher during one of her coke fueled binges soaked in alcohol using various SW props to fill her every hole
Why even live bros...
like ligthyear its both.
was this the first 'ackshually' in film history?
Are you fricking moronic OP?
>for me to get from one side of rapid filled river to the other is 1 mile
>since rapids are so bad most travel around the river, which is 5 miles of travel
>if I say I crossed the river in 1 mile, it means I somehow got over the rapids
yes, but you only got over the rapids because you took the risk, it doesnt mean your canoe is fast
But I can tell people the canoe is fast and I'm the best canoer
>yes, but you only got over the rapids because you took the risk, it doesnt mean your canoe is fast
It means my canoe could handle rapids. Luke says "What a piece of junk". And then Han brings up the Kessel run and then how fast the ship could go. So clearly the Falcon isn't a piece of junk if it could withstand the dangers of the Kessel run.
Why are people trying to defend Solo? It was shit
Remember when Han Solo got his name Solo cause some guard was like hey youre alone thats like being Solo, and remember when the director or some shit thought this idea was so amazing it's what inspired him to make the movie, unironically?
The dumbest explanation is in Han Solo movie where for his lie, he immediately sticks to the number he says in the original movie. Do these writers not know how lies work? It gets exaggerated over time so the number should be higher than the one they are referencing and he'll say later which is shorter than the original lie.
Wait seriously? That's fricking dumb.
