7/10/2023 0 Comments Han solo parsec![]() Similar info can be found in the notes Lucas recorded together with Carol Titelman in July/August 1977 to start a knowledge database for the planned sequels: In the commentary for Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope DVD, George Lucas mentions that the parsecs are due to the Millennium Falcon 's advanced navigational computer rather than its engines, so the navicomputer would calculate much faster routes than other ships could. In the A New Hope novelization, Han says "standard time units" rather than "parsecs." Indeed, even in the final version of the script, the parentheses attached to Han's line state that he is "obviously lying." Han means nothing other than impressing Obi-Wan and Luke with pure boasting. So It implies that the puzzling speech of Han Solo is "misinformation" and not truth, and it has nothing to do with the nature of the Kessel Run in any respect. "It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs!"īen reacts to Solo's stupid attempt to impress them with obvious misinformation. In the revised fourth draft of A New Hope in 1976, the description for "Kessel Run" is put as follows: Han and Chewie make the time (and distance) while escaping from an Imperial customs ship. Crispin's The Han Solo Trilogy, the Maw cluster of black holes distorts space and time, so the distance of the run is shortened by flying close to it. A few months later, Han Solo beat both his own and BoShek's records in a run he made with Luke Skywalker. The smuggler BoShek actually beat Solo's record in his ship, Infinity, but without cargo to weigh him down. By moving closer to the black holes, Solo managed to cut the distance down to about 11.5 parsecs. Instead, he was referring to the shorter route he was able to travel by skirting the nearby Maw black hole cluster, thus making the run in under the standard distance. Solo was not referring directly to his ship's speed when he made this claim. A parsec is a unit of distance, not time. Han Solo claimed that his Millennium Falcon "made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs". The Kessel Run was one of the most heavily used smuggling routes in the Galactic Empire. Thus there was a high chance that pilots, weary from the long flight through real space, would crash into an asteroid. It took travelers in realspace around The Maw leading them to an uninhabitable-but far easier to navigate-area of space called The Pit, which was an asteroid cluster encased in a nebula arm, making sensors as well as pilots go virtually blind. Similarly Named Works: The third book of the trilogy, Rebel Dawn, shares its name with a later Star Wars Legends novel in the New Jedi Order series, the second book of Aaron Allston's Enemy Lines duology (the other book being Rebel Dream).An Imperial-class Star Destroyer pursuing a YT-1250 on the Kessel Run.(Incidentally, this is similar to the explanation that Solo added to the reboot two decades later, which possibly inspired the latter.) In Rebel Dawn, that's exactly what happened: the Kessel Run runs through the Maw Cluster, a tricky cluster of black holes that ships making the run have to navigate around, and the Falcon's speed and maneuverability allowed Han to escape gravitational pulls that would have doomed a less capable ship, so he was able to fly a more direct route that shaved some distance off compared to the conventional route. For years, seemingly every Star Wars fan had their own favorite explanation for why Han bragged about making the Kessel Run "in less than twelve parsecs" in A New Hope, since a parsec is a unit of distance rather than time, with one of the most popular (and the one that put Han in the best light) being that something about the Millennium Falcon, specifically related to its speed, actually allowed him to take a shortcut of some sort that a less capable ship wouldn't be able to make. ![]() Ascended Fanon: The trilogy incorporates a fan theory regarding Han's famous Kessel Run.

While my article doesn’t address using External Folder Sync with Windows Scrivener and an Android device, there is no reason why it won’t work with a suitable Android editor. As far as simple note apps go, GumNotes is another great Simplenote-syncing, plain text note taking app. Support for External Folder Sync has been added to Windows Scrivener 1.9.7 as well, so a completely non-Apple workflow is possible.

The recommended way to setup Dropbox synchronization is as follows: Go to the Dropbox website and install the Dropbox client. With Scrivener for iOS sync along with folder sync to maintain now, it was becoming a little impractical to support Simplenote and Index Card too. ![]() If Simplenote changes its API or Index Card changes its file format (as both have done at various points), I have to write new code. As there’s only me working on the macOS version, I have to be careful that I can continue to maintain support for various features. Mainly it was a matter of resources, though. However, as noted, Simplenote has caused us quite a few support issues over the past couple of years. Update: It is important to note that if you are syncing Notational Velocity, you should choose either Dropbox or Simplenote, not both.

As you gather items you can invest in upgrading their on-board stats. This is handy as a shortcut but you do not have the full character customisation freedom when you do so.Ĭustomisation in general is a big factor to this game. After creating one class and jumping in you can create a new character whilst in-game at what is called the Forge. You can then chose random names like Borimor, Glorois, Merlin (original, right?) or you can create your own name. When you play the single player you will need them all so you may want to set up one of each character right at the beginning.Ĭharacter customisation is a full on process, you can flick through different colour schemes and settle for that, or you can pick a colour scheme and then tweak individual colours to suit you better. Don’t worry too much about which class you are going to be. If you are a perfectionist, you can find yourself spending hours in the character creation.

The Curies were amazed and delighted that their new element glowed in the dark. Within weeks of Roentgen’s discovery of X-rays, Henri Becquerel identified radioactivity, and in 1898 Marie and Pierre Curie reported the discovery of the chemical element radium, found in trace amounts in uranium ores. Ironically, those reports of radiation injury led physicians to recognize the possible therapeutic value of the rays in treating inoperable cancers. By the late 1890s, there were numerous reports in scientific literature of radiation skin burns and loss of hair, testimony to the apparent cavalier attitudes and the large doses being used. There were, however, reports of X–ray related injuries as early as 1896, including the case of Thomas Edison’s assistant, Clarence Dally, who suffered from severe radiodermatitis that resulted in the amputation of his arm and his subsequent death in 1904. Since the rays could not be felt by the senses, and there seemed to be no immediate effect on exposed skin, the general consensus was that X-rays were harmless. German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered X-rays, and their initial diagnostic value, in 1895. Radioactivity was a relatively new and poorly understood phenomenon in the early 20th century. Radium dial painters who contributed significantly to expanding the legal protections afforded American workers and increasing public awareness of the dangers of radioactivity. One striking example of this is the case of the “Radium Girls”-five U.S. It was comfortable and pleasant compared to most factory work of the time, and the dial painters had no reason to believe this amazing new substance called radium wasn’t perfectly safe to work with.Īs has often been repeated in the past century and a half of quantum leaps in science, industry and medicine, overexuberance to adopt the latest discoveries has sometimes surpassed our ability to completely understand their potential negative effects. Radium needed hundreds of new workers to fulfill its lucrative contracts and found young women to be ideally suited for the intense concentration and nimble handwork that dial painting required. Upon the United States entry into World War I in April, there developed a demand for a wide variety of devices to be coated with the glowing radium-treated paint, trade named Undark. Along with 70 other young women hired at the plant that spring, Fryer would be earning more than triple the average factory-floor wage to apply a newly formulated luminescent paint to watches, clocks, compasses and an assortment of military instruments. ![]() When Grace Fryer landed a job at the United States Radium Corporation factory in Orange, New Jersey, in 1917, she must have felt special and very lucky.
