[edit] Uhm...
South of Kessel? How does that work in space, there is no south.
- Maybe Lucas will BS his way out of that on the Clone Wars DVD.
[edit] "Not as deadly is it seems!"
So, how close did Han get to the black holes. Was he like 100 miles away or a 1,000 or father?
[edit] "Weighed down?"
How exactly was the infinity weighed down. You guys realize that this is in space right? No gravity and whatnot..
I agree that the expression is s**t, but according to Newton's law of universal gravitation, a ship in space will be affected by a force as follows:
, for those of you who are not used to these types of equations, I will explain.
= the force that will "pull" on the ship, and on the planet, black hole, whatever...
= the mass of the planet
= the mass of the ship
= the distance between the center of gravity between the two...
= The Gravitational Constant
This will give us the equation: 
, which will give us the even simpler (we assume that the mass of the planet and the distance are constant so we make , and into a new constant 
) equation, 
You follow?
So if you increase the mass of the ship, you will increase the force required from the engines to accelerate it!! Hence, it may be a wise idea to unload before goin' on the Kessel run...

- Isn't this whole thing about flying around black holes... you know gravity wells. They will pull on mass not happy thoughts. Engines would be fighting against the pull.
[edit] Family Guy reference
In the Family Guy movie Blue Hravest Chris (AKA Luke Skywalker) said to Peter (AKA Han Solo) "Doesn't Parsecs move in distance, not time?" which Peter replied "Ahh.....(looks back at the falcon)". 66.203.20.63 17:25, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] parsecs
We all have heard the quick-to-remark responses to this obvious mistake, but really that is what it is; a mistake. —Unsigned comment by 66.76.60.163 (talk • contribs).
- Regardles, they created a plausible explaination for it. Also, this page is for discussing ways to better the article and comments like this are unnessisary. NaruHina Talk

[edit] Not talking about speed?
He was, in fact, answering the question "is it a fast ship" he was definitely talking about speed not shorter routes.
