Yeah, I don't think it would fit in my apartment very well...

I doubt he even cares. He's got people for that. Besides, WEG is infamous
for making up goofy stuff about the tiniest details that they were able to glean
from the movies. Most of the character names for the Cantina and Jabba's Palace
aliens were made up for their RPG sourcebooks, since the people at Lucasfilm
rarely came up with anything more personable than Hammerhead, Squidhead, and
Walrusman. Remember, to the people making the movies, the background characters
were meant to be nothing more than ambiance, and the technical specs on the
ships were only important to the point of making sure two models could pass as
identical on screen, even if they weren't.
