For some reason, my childhood suspension of disbelief had no problem with the fact that this ancient galaxy is full of humans,

but was derailed by language. There's no Asia OR Europe there, so where'd they get all the Indo-European roots?

I love that one...

always been troubled Han used a measurement of distance for time there. Unless he really meant the Falcon made the Kessel run shorter?

very possible. That's hyperspace for ya!

hyperspace origami, that is

If so, he should have said "less than" rather than "*in* less than." Maybe he had had too much Romulan ale. Oh, wait, wrong universe...

Unless the Falcon folded that in, too!

eponymist: win

retro-continuity to cover a cock-up ever I heard it...

heard that argument: hops through Hspace are measured by how far you travel not how long it takes

if you're doing the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs you're going pretty close to suns and stuff

what's a parsec?

concurs! at least that's what i do when i do the kessel run...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pa...

(how do they know that? Wikipedia didn't exist in 1977ish)

it dided! well, in the future past

`A falcon (play /ˈfɔːlkən/ or /ˈfælkən/) is any species of raptor in the genus Falco.`

`The genus contains 37 species, widely distributed throughout Europe, Asia, and North America.`

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fa...

Oh wait, he asked what's a falcon right?

does this mean it was translated into English from some galactic language? how do we know it was a good translation?

what if it should have read *penguin* and not *falcon*?

or cheeseburger?

Mmm. Millennium Cheeseburger.

And how do we know that "millennium" wasn't screwed up in translation from "Linux"?

Millenium Falcon Punch

wth is an alluminum falcon?

admits it could have been *an apocalyptic gerbil*

A parsec is about 3.26 light years.

Solo just got Falcon PUUUUNCHed!
