Not to bring the cartoon into this, but Yoda was able to push a several ton transport H-shaped ship back several feet, and made it crash into another, as well cause 2 other H-Ships to crash into each other in mid-air. those are several ton ships here.

Yeah, if he could do that, you'd think he would have done it when he saw those same ships landing on Kashyyyk.

Well there isn't much out there concerning Parsec(s) in the GFFA, but here is what I found.

A parsec was a measurement of distance. (Right on point Fenn)

And this:

By definition a parsec is 360ï¿½~60ï¿½~60/2?ÃŽ Astronomical Units (AU). It is a measurement of distance based on apparent star motion as observed from a particular planet. Since the Galactic Standard "AU", would be based on Coruscant's orbit (368 days) it would equal 150,349,907,726 meters.

This makes a Galactic Standard parsec equal 31,011,894,586,294,500 meters.

Note, that it is possible that the Coruscant Day, Hour, etc. are 0.75% shorter than Earth's, in which case the AU and parsec would be the same length as Earth's.

Earth has a year 365.2424 days long and an AU of 149,597,870,691 meters. This makes an Earth based parsec equal 30,856,775,813,057,300 meters.

Planet
Earth Orbit (days) 365.2424 (*AU) 149,597,870,691 (*parsec) 30,856,775,813,057,300
Coruscant Orbit (days) 368 (*AU) 150,349,907,726 (*parsec) 31,011,894,586,294,500
* distance measured in meters

***

So in essence, a GFFA parcec equals 31 quadrillion meters.
(I think that's equal to 19 trillion miles)
Been awhile since I've fussed over a number that big...

EDIT:

A standard parsec in the GFFA measures out to exactly 19,173,511,575,559.54297 miles.

Impressive .... most impressive. This is good stuff SSS.

Thanks.

Figuring that all out only took a few minutes.
I guess I always wondered how many miles a Standard parsec in the GFFA was.

Or it could be that Han was talking out his ass about how fast the Falcon was, not knowing that Obi-wan knows more about piloting. Hence his smirk.

SithStarSlayer · SithStarSlayer, Oct 10, 2007 at 8:01 PM

What?

darth-sinister · darth-sinister, Oct 11, 2007 at 12:04 AM

You two were talking about the parsec. I mentioned that there was no need for a mathmatical satistic, since Han's bragging, thinking that he's dealing with a couple of dopes.

SithStarSlayer · SithStarSlayer, Oct 11, 2007 at 8:31 AM

Gotit.

Wait!
You mean to tell me that you never once wondered how far/long a parcec was?

BigBoy29 · BigBoy29, Oct 18, 2007 at 6:29 PM

I just wish the next NASA mission used the term. That would be some wild sh## ... even if it was some random geek spokesman who uttered it once - with a straight face and just kept going with a briefing.

Arawn_Fenn · Arawn_Fenn, Oct 18, 2007 at 9:23 PM

The only problem with that being the fact that humans will not be able to travel the distance of a parsec for a very, very, very long time ( if at all ).

BigBoy29 · BigBoy29, Oct 19, 2007 at 12:34 AM

I was thinking more like "point 05 parsecs" or some other amusing quip.

SithStarSlayer · SithStarSlayer, Oct 19, 2007 at 8:54 AM

That would be funny to us, but to get to that sort of number/percentage would be mind-boggling for the average dimwit. We're talking 19-TRILLion miles here, that's trillion with a "Tee-Ahr" in front of the "illion"...

Fenn is right, a Parcec is forever out of our reach.
