Looks like he won't be making the Kessel Run in 12 Parsecs

I had a complete rupture of my left achillies tendon a few years ago.. very bad.. needed surgery and several months in a boot to heel.. not very fun at all man

**NERD ALERT**

It was "18 parsecs" not "12".  Furthermore, parsec is an astronomical measurement of distance, not time/speed so he could still make it in 18 parsecs.

Better get that alert recalibrated, because 12 is correct.

Yes, but the Kessel Run is through a black hole cluster, which requires a lot of speed to escape the gravity wells. Slower ships have to take a longer and more circuitous route. The Falcon is fast enough to fly closer to the black holes, enabling her to cut distance off the run. So even though the Kessel Run isn't measured by velocity, speed is still the most important consideration.

Ah now that finally makes sence, Doing the Kessell run in 12 parsecs instead of 13 or higher means he was fast enough to take a straighter line near the black holes.

Correct. The Falcon can fly a much more direct route because of her stop speed.

Looks to me like they kinda went overboard with his cast.
