In general, the creators of 'The Mandalorian' have chosen to take the show's story in a drastically different direction from the rest of the franchise. While it might not be a big change, it's still a noticeable improvement to the world of the 'Star Wars' franchise. We see this first in the show's first episode, where the titular bounty hunter is described as the best in the parsec and it pops up once again in a passing conversation in Episode 3 'The Sin'.īoth times, the word is used in an off-hand manner so it's a bit difficult to spot unless you're looking for it but we're fairly certain eagle-eyed fans would be able to notice. 'The Mandalorian' rectifies this error simply by having the characters use the term with its correct meaning. "You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?… It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs." This line, spoken by Han Solo (Harrison Ford), was meant to show off the smuggler's skill and his ship's efficiency but what it actually ended up doing was creating a glaring inaccuracy because, as anyone with a background in science or an internet connection would know, a parsec is a measure of distance, not time. The epic sci-fi story did have a few moments of scientific inaccuracy but the new Disney+ series 'The Mandalorian' does fix one of the more infamous errors of the original trilogy. As beloved as the 'Star Wars' original trilogy might be, it's not without its flaws.
