You can NOT go based off what the SW.com database has. That is not offical!
(Hear me out before you start screaming). Mr Lucas himself did NOT enter in
the data into the DB. But Mr. Lucas himeself did supervise and create all
the stuff for the movies (ep 4-6). At the beginning of the Technical
Commentaries they state that the ONLY Offical stuff is the movies (since
Lucas himself did those). They further go on to explain how they are doing
measurements in space, etc..
So until Mr. Lucas himself quotes something on sw.com nothing on their can
be offical.
