I’ve always wondered about this (okay, not “always,” only since Lucas
established the timeline). 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 we’ve got what looks like the precursors to Star
Destroyers; Anakin’s kids are mid-30’s in RotJ, and we’ve got Super Star
Destroyers.
Granted, I’m not enough of a Star Wars geek to look too far into this, but at
almost seems a technical impossibility.
Oh, yeah, and in that Star Trek TNJ episode where a couple of crew members got
“out of phase” with their universe, how could they still stand on the decks of
the ship, when they could pass through other objects?
Oh, yeah, as I’m always telling my kids, “IT’S A MOVIE (or TV)!!!!!”

| 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)
