    Re: Star Wars parsec, it’s actually in the script that Obi Wan looks at him like looking at an idiot, seeing the obvious misinformation through. People just saw the movie and made a shitstorm about it, despite it perfectly setting up Obi Wan and Solo characters - a negotiation between a hustler and a wise man.

      Misinformation about how fast the ship was, not misinformation about what a parsec is:

                           It's the ship that made the Kessel 
                           run in less than twelve parsecs!
      
                 Ben reacts to Solo's stupid attempt to impress them with 
                 obvious misinformation.
      

      George Lucas is not a scientist. He just didn’t know what ‘parsec’ meant.
