Yes, because us Star Wars fans are far more educated in astrophysics than those random professors on Google.

I kid.

Of course we are.

A parsec is about 3.3 light-years. That means light takes about three years and three months to cross a parsec. The silly people on Earth are far from that—at least openly. Hyperspace, a crucial aspect in Star Wars and a possible reality on Earth, moves far faster than light, without even physically moving at all. @Jedi Sarith LeKit will be posting an in-depth explanation of hyperspace, but I'll give it to you in a few simple words:

Hyperspace is moving between a fourth mini-dimension to travel across the galaxy in proportionately short amounts of time. Of course it still takes a few days to make it to planets far apart from each other, but I mean, it takes us on Earth a few days to get to Mars, so it's a lot faster.

We don't know exactly how much faster hyperspace is than light, since we don't know too many exact measurements in Star Wars, but it's at least twenty times as fast.

I probably (maybe) answered your question somewhere in there.

^ Oh, that first comment physically harms me.

Ok... a bit of math here. You can figure it out based in the Falcon's stated max lightyears per day.

The Falcon can travel about 25,000 light years per day... or just over 1000 light years per hour. 1,041.66 to be precise and 17.3611 per minute.

A Parsec is 3.26 light years. So the falcon at top speed can travel a parsec at maximum speed in about 10.65 seconds. Aka, it can make the Kessel Run in about 2 minutes flat.

The Falcon has a 0.5 class hyperdrive. X-Wings have a class 1 and are half as fast (so 12,500 light years per day). Star Destroyers have a class 2 which is half as fast as that, so 6,250 lightyears a day. Then there's class 4 which is half as fast as that, so 3,125 lightyears a day. Class 8 is 1,562.5 lightyears per day. Class 16 is 781.25 lightyears per day.

The falcon has a backup class 12 hyperdrive. Which is 1,041.667 lightyears per day (ironically nearly identical to the Covenant from Halo franchise top speed). Its this drive that got the Falcon from Hoth to Bespin

^ Oh, nice. I didn't even know that information. What's the source for that second paragraph?

All right. Thank you, I'll read that now.

A parsec is 19 trillion miles

Real Life:

Light travels 186,000 miles in one second.

31,622,400 seconds in a year.

A light-year is 5,881,766,400,000 miles.

A parsec is 3.26156 light-years.

A parsec is 19,183,734,019,584 miles.

We can travel at best "16,150mph" in space.

1,187,847,308 hours is how long it would take to go one parsec today at 16,150mph.

It would take modern humans about 135,600 years to go one parsec.
