 | | Size Comparison Chart (Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5)

Given the size and number of tangents the other thread took, I started a new one so all interested persons would get a good 'heads up.' This is a very accurate comparison chart. (At least as far as you can go with fictional source materials.) (URL) (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yeah, James, I know what you mean! I didn't mean to come across as being so militant about this stuff. Believe it or not, I don't sit and obsess about SW scale and such, or spend lots of time researching it (heck, I've only made it through a (...)

(...) I have to admit it, I've been out-geeked. And on a subject I would never have thought of as controversial. Going home now to polish my pocket protector. It's lost some of its luster... James (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

(...) Fair enough, and I enjoy a good sci-fi tale as much as most geeks. I just get a big kick out of it when people start arguing about the size of the "real" prototype from a movie. Especially the ones that are completely CGI! Or cartoons - ever (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

Maybe our clamoring for split slopes finally sunk in? ;-) Now all they need to do is make split versions of all the train slopes, and John Neal's head will explode over all the new 8/10/14/20-wide possibilities ;-) (...) -- | Tom Stangl, Sun ONE (...)

(...) That's what I really dislike about SWTC. He pulls some factoid that sounds right, and uses it as though it were fact. I first noticed that on his description of AT-AT stride length, but also on his AT-AT height description, and (IIRC) some of (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

(...) True, but good science fiction has enough grounding in reality to make it believable and maintain continuity with itself. While Curtis Saxton takes this to an extreme, I find nothing wrong with using the best reference possible to ascertain (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

(...) Well, my latest post, responding to Jason, out-geeked all of ya! James, i'd recommend that you compare the pic in the link below to the schematic in your above link.
