Answer from Wookiepedia:
"Instead, he was referring to the shorter route he was able to travel by skirting the nearby Maw black hole cluster, thus making the run in under the standard distance. He may have indirectly referred to the speed of his ship in this instance because, to be able to go closer to a black hole and still be able to get out of its gravitational pull, it is necessary to go faster. However, parsec relates to time in that a shorter distance equals a shorter time at the same speed. By moving closer to the black holes, Solo managed to cut the distance down to about 11.5 parsecs."
There's no way that Indiana Han Solo Jones is full of it.
Correct.

-Luke Skywalker: he fall to the dark side to (supposeddly) finally defeat the emperor "from the inside". Years later, he also thaught some dark side disciplines as a mean of balance in the force.
-Luuke Skywalker: Luke's clon was the projection of mad clone Joorus C'Baoth dark will. Thus, he had a brush with the DS.
-Leia (she's technically a Skywalker): had a brush with the dark side due his link with Luke, she's also responsble of holding Luke's mind when he was on the dark side.
-Mara Jade "Skywalker": she wasn't completely on the dark side, but she was working as assassin for the emperor, thus, she was quite "tainted"
-Ben Skywalker: can be considered to have a brush, after being kidnapped and tortured by Darth Caedus (jacen solo). caedus also mde Ben commit some cuestionable actions.
-Kol Skywalker: he had a "brush" with the Dark side, when making his last stand at Ossus fighting alone against an onslaught of Siths, and killed by a force lightning
-Cade Skywalker: he was far from being a pure, clean hero. He was a Padawan, then a smuggler and pirate (this means, he's somehow "tainted") He also crossed paths with Darth Krayt and become his apprentice, and participated in Krayt's death, so there had some brush with the Darkside.
Leia's sons (Anakin, Jayna and Jacen) don't count as Skywalkers. Dammit
I actually intended to not count the clones, and count the solos, but I'll give it to you for thoroughness.
