A parsec is a measurement of distance. The impressive Kessel run is due to the fact that Kessel, the planet where spice is mined, is right on the edge of the Maw, a cluster of black holes. So a shorter run (fewer parsers) means a more dangerous run skirting closer to the black holes and risking death to make the flight shorter.

What does Greedo have to do with the Kessel run? And if you mean the fight in Mos Eisley, Greedo never fired a shot. Han was the only one that did any shooting.
