A LY isn’t a unit of time…

Sure it is, hence why it's called a lightYEAR. It's the time that a year passes for one light.

I am disappointed that some people don't seem to get this joke.

Ohhh, so that's why he was called Buzz Lightyear!

Time doesn't pass for light, though.

All I hear is that it'll take one hell of a bird.

And a parsec isn't a unit of distance but that didn't stop Han Solo from completing the Kessel run in fewer than 12.

As naff as a Solo film was, they actually closed that plot hole and clarified he was talking about distance.

That was actually explained back in the pre-disney EU, so it hasn't been a plothole for decades. Solo just kept the existing explanation, which was pretty neat.

Didn't realise that, makes more sense.
