What about the Imperial Cruiser, the really long city size white ship seen in
the early scenes of EP4 (First Star Wars). 3000 to 4000 white bricks of just

remember about it is that it took what seems like an eternity to pass the
camera/screen.


I believe you're thinking of a Star Destroyer.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here: "Imperial Cruiser" is what they
(the writers, film crew, etc) called the ship during filming of Star Wars, but
it was never called so on screen.  For ESB, they named the ships "Star
Destroyers," and were referred to by name on screen.  So, I presume the ship
from the first scene in SW would be called a Star Destroyer retroactively.

Anyway, if TLC makes one, it had better not be white.

The Imperial Star Destroyers are shown here:

And then there are the Super Star Destroyers:

All the ships from the movies can be accessed from this menu:
http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/

Hopefully that helps clear up any confusion.
