That’s almost six small (human, not minifig) houses!

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
here.

A Super Star Destroyer, 5 miles long, would be 606 feet long and 400 feet
wide (yes, another guesstimate) and cover about 121,200 sq. ft. A little
bigger than the biggest of mansions, and probably twenty times as expensive,
too!

The 5 mile long SSD is a mistake. In TESB, there is at least
one scene where you can
clearly see the tower of an ISD passing before the bulk of the SSD (which means
the SSD would actually appear smaller than 1:1 compared to that ISD), and the
SSD is clearly more than 5x as long as the SSD. TheForce.Net has a
page explaining how they came to
the conclusion that the Executor is actually 11 miles long (part of it includes
the fact that this would make the control tower on the SSD the same size as the
identically shaped control tower on an ISD). They also give a plausible idea on
how the 5 mile fallacy came about.

| 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)
