Best small print addendum ever.
I can only make out
A parsec is a measurement of distance, not time
I can't make out what the second stentence says. Downside it having a giant monitor, little pictures can have itsy bitsy, teeny wheeny writing.
Round trip flight is 24 parsecs.
Oh my god, that is so cool! I love art deco travel posters.
Damn, he's not selling prints of these ones!
Goodbye, I guess.

I think Lucas "handwaved" that mistake away by explaining that the Kessel Run requires a pilot to fly through an ever-changing maze of asteroids or blackholes or some-such. The idea is that Solo is boasting that he figured out a path through those hazards that took the least total DISTANCE to travel. Presumably since he was able to make the run traveling only 12 parsecs that it was a relatively QUICK run time-wise as well.|

I know it still sounds silly, but I honestly think this is how that goof was explained after the fact.

Wookieepedia agrees with you on that point. Apparently it's normally an 18 parsec run, but the Falcon has a cutting-edge navigation computer.

Those travel posters remind me of the ones around the Star Tours ride at MGM Studios in Disney World.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

One of the Han Solo trilogy books had the run in it. Apparently going faster lets you cut closer to the gravitational anomolies/singularities/black holes so you can travel a shorter route because you don't have to divert as much.

I've never yet taken a hit from a bad guy skidding across the floor on his keister.
