I also saw the movie tonight. The scene near the end with Darth Maul threw me for a loop. Horrible misstep making a reveal like that in the last 15 minutes of the movie. I can't believe that made the final cut.
Also worth mentioning, the infamous Kessel run. I simply can't believe that the "parsec" thing was retconned so that "parsec" is an actual legitimate measurement of time in the world of SW, and then actually used as a major plot detail in this film.
Except its the most legit retcon they couldve possibly come up with. Parsec as a unit of time makes no sense whatsoever in any universe.
Han literally took a dangerous shortcut to make the trip shorter. It's impressive because no one thought it was possible, not necessarily because of the speed of the ship. How is that not a measure of distance?
Did you completely miss the constant references throughout star wars history to the speed of the Millenium Falcon and the importance of that factor?
Episode IV:
Obi-Wan: "Is it a fast ship?"
Han: "Are you kidding? It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. It's fast enough for you, old man."
They very obviously just screwed up back then and had to retcon it. They did not frame it as a reference to distance.
