To be pedantic and a little too geeky for the ladies taste, parsecs are a measure of distance in space both in the SW universe and the RW (whats that?).
Han Solo famously shaved a little of his course through the Kessel system one day, skirting closer to the black hole cluster in the centre of the Kessel system than anyone had previously managed!
Hence his bragging of making the Kessel run in a certain amount of parsecs.

Of course, this is only because Lucas had no bloody clue what a "parsec" was, and used it to make Han's ship sound fast. So he made up some story about black holes and such in order to justify the use of the word.

Heh, I currently work at Radioshack. We changed it to "You have questions, we have blank stares, what's your name and phone number?"
