The Star Wars universe fixed that ages ago, dontcha know.

This would typically take 18 parsecs -- to avoid falling into the Maw's gravity wells -- but with a sturdy ship like the Millennium Falcon and a daring captain like Han, a smuggler could skirt close to the edges of the Maw and cut the distance down to 12 parsecs.
At least this is the elaborate explanation they came up with years later to cover George Lucas' original script blunder...
I declare shenanigans!…
