| | | I did some calculating ((URL) of large space ships to see how big they'd be at minifig scale. I got some interesting results: A minifig scale Star Destroyer would be about 121 feet long and 97 feet wide (guessing that its width is 2/3 of it's (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | (...) I don't have any hard numbers, but the beam of an ISD isn't quite 2/3 the length. It is a lot wider than I'd originally thought, but it's closer to a 28:45 ratio, as can be seen (URL) here>. (...) The 5 mile long SSD is a mistake. In TESB, (...)

How in the heck was the Empire able to ramp up production facilities to build such huge vessels, in the span of less than 50 years or so? In AotC (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I don't really like the "it's only a movie" excuse because it lets the writers off the hook too easily. A better phrasing might be (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Then you can move them onto questions about how the voiceover actor in one film can be a different character in another film. Oh, the fun to be had! Dave!
