I hope Disney corrects one of the biggest errors in the Star Wars movies. The fact that a parsec is a unit of distance, not time.

Actually biggest fuck up of all time is Chewbacca getting no medal
When do they use it as a measure of time? When Han boasts he did the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs? That's actually correct. The Kessel Run is an 18 parsec smuggling route through a region of space densely populated by black holes (the Maw). By cutting his safety margins, Solo managed to fly closer to the black holes and shave off over six parsecs of distance. The question you should be asking is not why Han uses the wrong measurement, it's how fucked up does space look near the Maw that Han managed to cut a third of the trip out without anyone else trying it.
