A parsec is 3.26 light-years, so FTL travel would be nowhere near as quick as depicted in SW. Now for some real fine problems for sticklers: 1. The interior dimensions and floorplan of the Millenium Falcon are not consistent with the full size exterior or the model (which two are, however, consistent). 2. How did the MF in TESB get from the Hoth system (where the Imperial Fleet broke up) to Bespin without violating the canons of FTL over relativity which Lucas otherwise followed and incorporated so transparently into the SW universe? Looks like plotting slop. Isn't nit-picking fun?
