What's the Kessel Run, does the old dialog make sense?


It always seemed like some famous race or something that everybody in the galaxy knew what it was and were impressed by the feat of time/distance Han and the Falcon accomplished. Any of that actually apply in this movie??

The backstory is that it was a dangerous shortcut route near black holes, used by smugglers.

That worked well with the parsecs line, because a shorter route meant you cut closer to the black holes.
