The brief gamma - ray burst —
lasting less
than two seconds and of a type known as a «short» gamma - ray burst — occurred more
than 10
times closer to Earth
than any other whose
distance was known, but was unexpectedly weak; the ultraviolet and optical signals were oddly bright and faded fast.
Everything that you expect to see visualized in «Solo,» based on your experience with previously stated «Star Wars» mythology, gets served up on a silver platter, from young Han Solo's first meeting with Chewbacca to Han winning the Millennium Falcon in a card game from its original owner, Lando Calrissian, and making the Kessel Run in less
than 12 parsecs (that parsecs are a unit of
distance, not
time, is properly explained at
last), to the fact that Wookiees hate to lose at three - dimensional chess and are strong enough to rip people's arms from their sockets.
