If it's correctly to scale. As Steve pointed out, a cockpit to overall size
ratio of 1:5 would be the minimum necessary without it looking ridiculous. I
doubt TLG would be as concerned about exact dimensions as Derek was. If they
can make a model look good enough to sell, they will.

Actually you need a 5 stud width at the butt level of the cockpit, 6.?? at the
arm level, and 4.5-5 stud width at the head level. Hopefully Chewie will be
taller than a normal minifig, so some extra clearance would be needed. I'll
play around in LDraw with a couple of minifigs and a cylindar and let you know
what I come up with.
