Feedback: What is a parsec?

Here's some feedback from Christopher, on our Extremely Curious Q&A show on the question, "what is a parsec?"
When speaking of the parsec one of your guests said that Star wars had it wrong when Han Solo described running the Kessel run in however many parsecs. Your guest misunderstood because the Kessel run contained a large number of black holes and running it in fewer parsecs indicated higher speed because the ship was able to get closer to these black holes.
