Just an fyi, smuggling isn't really much of a profession in Eve. Sure, you can transport things and you can try to be a "smuggler", but I think you have a misguided view on what your end result would be.
Eh, there is money to be made running in-demand T2 modules out to 0.0, with the threat of gate camps and unfriendly locals.
Thats about as "smuggling" as you can get right? Bringing in cargo while the local authority figures try to shoot the crap out of you? :P

Han Solo's ship was actually a "freighter", the freighters in this game would however, take a lot longer than 12 parsecs to do the Kessel Run.
A 'light' freighter, not a capital vessel like freighters in EVE. Best equivalence would just about have to be a blockade runner.
Eve freighter would probably e roughly one of the giant, slow, GR-75 Medium Transports.

Your picture not appearing is not due to the trial. They are updated in batches. Give it a week or two and it should show up.
Second, a parsec is a measure of distance. Did Han Solo have some sort of shortcut that nobody else was aware of? :)
The time to making a kessel run was dependent on your flying skills. You could shorten the distance by flying a more dangerous course, close to black holes and other abnormalities that were abundent around the Maw.
The difficulty is cutting down the actual distance that you have to fly, thus the quote sounding as if it is a measure of time rather then distance.

Yes, Lucas' revisionism is great isn't it. 
Step 1: Talk out of your arse concerning things you know nothin about
Step 2: Find out other people actually know what a Parsec is
Step 3: Talk real fast to smooth it over

I am only saying that he made a simple gaff in the movie and covered it up. Happens all the time. Sorry to insult your diety mr lucas.
Lucas was a special effect genius, and a master of editing technology. Not the worlds greatest writer. Stop being such a fanboy.
No, I'm saying that was his thought process :P He made references to a parsec as a measure of time, and later decided to talk real fast to cover up the mistake :P

See we have the exact same point 
Yeah, basically trying to ride a quick jab in at him behind you, without labeling it clearly! Too many hours of forum whoring, making mistakes and not being clear!
