  I think the headcanon is that the shortest distance is impressive.
  Either a different faster and harder route through “the kessel”. Or that 12 parsecs is the absolute minimum distance it can be done in, perfectly apexing every corner.

    Not even headcanon, that is canon. They used the fan theory on Solo to explain it. That whole movie was so unnecessary…

    yeah honestly I know the answer even though I did the joke. the star wars mythical travel requires hyperspace navigation where objects still exist in it and the nav computer is basically plotting the smallest safe distance (or something like that). Basically all speed in hyperspace is the same its just about the route. Its basically explained in the original movie when han says (spoilers ahead /s):

    "Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?"

    Or it’s a roundabout way of saying he cheated: “He finished the marathon in 22 miles!” :D
