Well,quibble is as quibble does. Since you insist on not believing what
Paul, Derek and msyelf have all said, perhaps you'll accept this statement

Yes -- he claims that 'It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less
than twelve parsecs!' and claims this is a proof of how fast his vessel
is. This is still the case on the VHS tapes I have with the 1997
enhanced version. This, obviously, is completely nonsense (despite some
very entertaining attempts to excuse it that I ran across while
googling the precise quotation).

Based on what I found on the 'net in the above-mentioned search, it
would seem that they've left it standing and tried to come up with some
doctored excuse (neither of which really works, but I'll leave that
discussion to the Star Wars fans).
