alt Hacker NewsIf we're taking suggestions, I'd like to propose "parsec" (not to be confused with the unit of distance of the same name)
That way Han Solo can make sense in the infamous quote.
EDIT: even Gemini gets this wrong:
> In Star Wars, a parsec is a unit of distance, not time, representing approximately 3.26 light-years

It was already fine, because it’s a metric defined on a submanifold of relativistic spacetime.

Parallax arc-second -> distance.
For Star Wars, they retconned it to mean he found the shortest possible route through dangerous space, so even for Han Solo's quote, it's still distance.

They explained it in the Solo movie.
