[QUOTE="Seule, post: 1377334, member: 407"] I believe that an explanation was retrofitted into the movie universe so that the comment would make sense: The Kessel run slingshots around a black hole, and the faster your ship the closer you can afford to get, so if you have a fast ship you cover less distance. It only barely makes sense, but at least they tried. It's obviously a goof thet they've tried to cover up retroactively. I'm also in Canada, and any distance more than a block or so is measured in driving time. A block, for those who don't know, is equal to the distance between two parallel streets. Other than a few holdouts (personal measurements for example) pretty much everything is metric, but we learn both. Metric is just such a superior system in every way, the only advantage Imperial has is installed user base, and it's losing that everywhere in the world other than the US. For games, we use whatever units the game is written with. --Seule [/QUOTE]
