Well... Ush's parsec remark kinda referred to an interesting experience we once had a SW geeks fansite, who believed they could explain and/or rebuild all SW technology. It was....rather geeky... and dumb. It makes no sense to seriously discuss it.

The problem is that Star Wars does not actually take place in a setting where we can compare it to any form of objective reality. Things just happen with no actual logic applied at all- Han getting to Bespin with no hyperdrive, Star Destroyers rumbling in the noiselessness of space, and fighter craft tearing around a vacuum, banking to make turns as if they were in atmosphere.
Speeds are exactly one such thing. The idea of a speed limit in space makes very little sense until you are at ridiculous extremes. Yet most modern day jet fighters go faster than the sublight speeds given for an X-Wing.
So when you try and go in-depth into analysing it, all you really end up with is a load of gumf and queeq and myself found the extremes to which some people were preoared to argue about such a completely arbitrary concept rather amusing.
You have to abandon any pretence that this can be analysed and rationalised. it's just a load of dumb fun.
