  • There were three explanations for the line.

    1: (the correct one) Han was making shit up to impress a farm boy, as seen by Obi-Wan smirking at the lie.

    2: (Lucas’s lie because the audience was dumb) It was a brag about how advanced the navigation computer is

    3: (the EU fanon) it was a brag about the engines letting the Falcon cut distance travelled through the Maw.

    The scene in Solo incorporated all three. The engines allow the Falcon to barely escape, the droid brain that is the nav computer plots a nearly impossible course, and Han still lies about it to Luke because the number he recounts is different from the line in A New Hope.

    It was, quite honestly, a pretty impressive bit of fan theory unification.
