In the first movie, Star Wars (IV - A New Hope), the huge white wedge shaped
ship was refered to as a "Imperial Cruiser" by Han Solo when they were
blasting off from Tatoonine ("Looks like an Imperial Cruiser, our passengers
must be hotter than I thought."). Earlier in the Cantina, Han Solo, while
boasting about the speed of his ship the Millennium Falcon, made the
statement "I've outrun Imperial Starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind
you, I'm talking about the big Corelian ships now." (Odd how this is the
only mention of Corelia in the entire trilogy. Han was probably refering to
the Star Destroyers, yet all print literature refers to HIM and his ship as
being Corelian.) The Star Destroyers were not called such until the second
movie, Star Wars V - The Empire Strikes Back.
