They could try Ludicrous Speed. At least he correctly uses Parsecs as distance and not time.
Any space story has to find some way to navigate the vast distances. Physics doesn't seem to allow it, so just make something up.

Star Wars fans have had to twist themselves into pretzels to make sense of Han's statement. The prevailing (theory?) is that the Kessel Space Run goes through a series of black holes, so that flying straight through involves certain death. A daring captain will cut corners on the route to make it shorter by going close to the event horizons. So, flying the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs is actually a super difficult feat.
Or Lucas just didn't know.
Movies make plenty of physics mistakes. Anyway, why would they use our measurement units? A parsec there may be for time.
I like to brag about how "I ran a marathon in under 6 miles."
