Also, after Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, they quite famously rendered a significant portion of the expanded universe material non-canonical. Also, some of the information we used comes from expanded universe sources, not the movies, so it's debatable information. They orbit around suns, and those suns orbit through the galaxy, and galaxies spin, so planets constantly move. Of course, there are some things that we haven't taken into consideration, such as the fact that planets don't just stay in one place all of the time. Hence, it flies somewhere between or close to those two speeds. If it made the trip in 14 hours, then it can fly about 2,714 light years per hour. So, if the Millennium Falcon travelled 38,000 light years in 12 hours, that means it flies about 3,167 light years per hour. We hope there were rest stops along the way. This means that it was a twelve to fourteen hour trip from Tatooine to the Death Star. A safe guess is probably somewhere between noon and 2 p.m. Plus, the Mos Eisley Cantina probably doesn't open that early either.
MILLUMIN FALCON INIOR CRACK
Han never struck us as the type to get up at the crack of dawn. Now, we don't know exactly when they leave, but we can assume it's not first thing in the morning.
MILLUMIN FALCON INIOR MOVIE
We know it's during the day because the movie establishes that Tatooine has a night, with Luke watching the planet's twin suns set. When they leave Tatooine, they do so during the day, not at night. He's giving the time of destination in military time. In the film, Han says, "We should be at Alderaan about 0200 hours." He's not giving the time it takes them to get there. And, the two hours may be a mistake, albeit an understandable one.
But on the other hand, two hours seems a bit too fast to get there, even for a movie that's two hours long. Leia would probably have been dead by the time Luke and everyone got there to save her. First of all, two days seems like too long of a time to take to make a rescue. Depending on who you listen to, the time is said to be anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days. There's a lot of debate out there over how long it takes the Falcon to make the trip. Also, try as we might, we can't read minds, especially not those of fictitious characters. Yes, the characters know this, but what does that matter if the viewers don't know it? This is not the kind of thing that the viewer is able to gleen from what is presented in the movie. This information was not in Star Wars, unless we missed something in the thousand or so times that we've watched it. While this may be true and does sound impressive, there's a bit of a problem with it.
So Han wasn't necessarily talking about the Falcon's speed, but how well it can navigate, so the Millennium Falcon is fast in the sense that it is very maneuverable. So how does the 12 parsecs claim make it fast? Han was able to take a shortcut along this route, essentially coming very close to the black hole without getting sucked in.
And apparently, there's a black hole somewhere on this route. According to the expanded universe literature, the Kessel Run is "an 18-parsec route used by smugglers," like Han. Now, in the Star Wars expanded universe, this measurement of time still counts as to how fast the Millennium Falcon is.
