Well the 'Official' order of canon is as follows:
-Movies
-Novels of Movies
-Radio Dramas of Movies
Not quite canon but overruling 'official' sources are:
-Expansion Novels originally published by Bantam Books
-Expansion Comics originally published by Dark Horse
Then we have official sources:
-StarWars.com
-Behind the Magic CD-ROM
-Various Cross Sections and Essential Guide to the 'X' books.
Then we have ignored sources:
-'Droids' comics
-'Splinter of the Mind's Eye' novel
-Games (games are balanced to be a fun game so technology is often 'made up',
although certain story elements could be considered official)

Ok I see what you're saying now. Well the 137ft estimate would definatly be an
upper range number.
