The whole measuring of speed in the Lucas universe, on the other hand, is really bollixed, where something that goes “0.5 past light speed” is faster than ships that go 0.6 or higher. I still haven’t heard a good explanation for that one.
MAD Magazine summarized it best: "Our lasers fire at the speed of light but our ships go faster than light... that means we just shot ourselves down!"
