Remember, one should always devalue the information given in SW:EGVV by a
goodly amount ... for example, it lists the height of the AT-AT as ~15m, which
is much too small to be reconciled with the scenes in the movies [1]. EGVV
does a nice job bringing together scale drawings of many of the vehicles, and
provides a nice synopsis for those vehicles whose background/history is well
documented, but for many of the "more vague" vehicles the information tends to
be a bit more, shall we say, debatable?
In any case, there are a number of sources I would weigh more heavily than EGVV
when it comes to details outside of the drawings themselves.

[1] further inquiries into this perspective is likely to stir up a hornet's
nest of scaling and proportions from DaveE and myself ;)
