Perhaps the star is a few million years too far away.
;-)
I’m going to embrace my inner pedant and point out that a light-year is a unit of distance, not time. And also that you can’t see a star that is more than a couple of thousand light-years away with the naked eye, no matter how big it is, and that even the fastest-burning stars last a couple of million years.
In other words, every star you can see with your own eyes is virtually guaranteed to be alive and well at this very moment.
I haz an telescope, so nyer!

But … It’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.
Superior course-charting capabilities of the computers on board, obviously.
Or maybe Kessel is only eleven parsecs from Tatooine?
