The Millenium Falcon? That's the one that uses parsecs as a measure of time, right?

Star Wars is a good example of how to sell kiddie toys and Happy Meals, not science-fiction.

YM obviously Vs.

That's a fannon explanation for a writer screw up.

Here is the explanation from the official source as of 2002, starwars.com, trademarked by Lucasfilm.ltd

Here is a youtube video explaining the gaffe.

this would seem to show that it was meant as a unit of distance in canon as of 2002.

Retcons all and each different from the other. Show me something from 1977 in which Lucas explains his use of the word.

Oh, that's right. He didn't even know it was a mistake in 1977.

It's a mistake. Accept it and move on.

My fuzzy minded teenage self knew it was a mistake the moment I heard first time in the theater 1977, and moved on then knowing it was just movie stupid.

My point was to show that it is now considered canon and not fanon ( unless lucas changed his mind again )
iirc, I accepted it back then at face value as I accepted all the things in the movie that violated known physics, given 'hyperspace' and the warping/bending of space-time, etc.

George Lucas has a history of "making up stuff after the fact" and then claiming it was always so.
Vader was not originally Luke's father, nor was Leia Luke's sister.
Han shot first.
The parsec is a unit of distance.

8 hours.
I always just used 8 hours to process fuel based on the processing plants found in High Guard.

(I am just tired of hearing about Star Wars)
