The "12 parsecs" line is from Star Wars, where Han Solo famously boasts that the Millennium Falcon "made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs."
This has become an iconic quote, though it initially confused audiences since a parsec is a unit of distance (about 3.26 light-years), not time. The line seemed like an error - like saying "I ran the marathon in less than 26 miles."
The explanation that emerged (and was later made canon) is that the Kessel Run involves navigating through a dangerous region of space near black holes and gravity wells. A skilled pilot could take a shorter, more dangerous route by flying closer to these hazards. So Han was actually bragging about finding a daringly short path rather than about speed alone - though the Falcon's speed certainly helped survive that risky shortcut.
The line has become a beloved piece of Star Wars lore and internet culture, often referenced when someone wants to sound impressive with technical jargon (whether it makes sense or not). The 💯 emoji suggests you're celebrating this classic sci-fi moment!
