The multi-holed Maw from the Legends continuity became obsolete.
WHATS A PARSEC SERIES
Only the main movies (episodes I to IX) and TV series like Clone Wars and Rebels survived Disney's purge.
One upshot of this strategy is it turns Han Solo into a time traveller.īut after the Star Wars franchise was sold to Disney, almost everything from the Expanded Universe was erased from the official canon and became part of an alternate 'Legends' timeline. That's possible thanks to a trick of Einstein's general theory of relativity, as the enormous mass of black holes cause spacetime to bend so that, between any two points, a ship would follow a curved path. This would typically take 18 parsecs - to avoid falling into the Maw's gravity wells - but with a sturdy ship like the Millennium Falcon and a daring captain like Han, a smuggler could skirt close to the edges of the Maw and cut the distance down to 12 parsecs. Taking certain interstellar roads reduces the risk of being caught red-handed by an Imperial patrol.Īccording to Star Wars: The Essential Atlas and the Solo novels, the road to Kessel involved navigating a cluster of black holes known as 'the Maw'. The Kessel Run is a route used by smugglers to transport an illicit substance called 'spice' from mines on the planet Kessel through a region of space belonging to the Galactic Empire.
