The conclusions drawn by Dr. Saxton in his Technical Commentaries are false.
The "true" (as true as any fictional ship can get) length of a Super Star
Destroyer is either 12,800 meters as stated on SW.com's databanks, or the
8000 meter RPG length. Both are official, and appear in *official* LFL
products. Saxton's site is completely inaccurate, as he fails to take the
official material into account (not just with the SSD article, the errors
and fallacies on his site are too numerous to list.) An accurate
perspective can *not* be achieved from the shots in the movie (there is no
way to accurately judge distances by sight in space) or by measuring the
models used in the film (model sizes do not always correspond directly with
the sizes of other models.)
That said, speaking in-universe, the line of Super class Star Destroyers was
produced mainly in the last four years before the death of the Emperor's
death at Endor. Imperial warlords continued to produce their own Super
Destroyers years after the Battle of Endor, but they were not always made to
Kuat Drive Yard specs. Thus, due to the limited resources of these
warlords, many SSDs could indeed have been only 8000 meters long. In
addition, KDY produced at least one variant on the SSD line, Jerec's
Vengance, and apparently shortened the Executor's (Vader's SSD, the first of
her class) sister ship, the Lusankya. All of this accounts for most of the
discrepancies regarding the length of a SSD. The Executor was 12,800 meters
long, as stated on SW.com.
I think I've just out-geeked everyone here. :)
