In popular culture The parsec was used incorrectly as a measurement of time by Han Solo in the first Star Wars film, when he claimed his ship, the Millennium Falcon "made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs", originally with the intention of presenting Solo as "something of a bull artist who didn't always know precisely what he was talking about". The claim was repeated in The Force Awakens, but this was retconned in Solo: A Star Wars Story, by stating the Millennium Falcon traveled a shorter distance (as opposed to a quicker time) due to a more dangerous route through the Kessel Run, enabled by its speed and maneuverability. It is also used incorrectly in The Mandalorian.
