I just watched the trailer again (and again and again and again...), and
finally noticed something which filled me with a certain ominous forboading.
The Sith Infiltrator, while not being as horribly out-to-lunch as the box
picture indicates, is seriously out-of-scale.
About a quarter of the way through the trailer, we see our buddy Darth Maul
striding down a ramp. If you take a look, you realize that the ship he is
leaving is the Infiltrator - and the hatch he's leaving takes up maybe 1/3 of
the rear height! That would make the Infiltrator considerably larger than the
model - by at least a factor of three. Maybe I'm just behind the times, and
everyone else noticed this and moved on, but I hadn't seen anyone comment on
it before.
As someone else termed it - "unselective compression" indeed. Realizing how
horribly they've mangled the scale for the Infiltrator does not give me happy
thoughts about a Millenium Falcon.

| I've also noticed that before, when a guy posted a scan from newly printed EP1 cutouts book, featuring Infiltrator's inside look (1). Its size looks very close to Falcon, and this just gives some clues about "long awaited" Falcon set of future. I (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) I just got the Cross Sections book and the Infiltrator does seem very out of scale. In the stats it says that it is 26.5m long and compared to the X-wings 12m long I think we see that the Infiltrator is at least 1/2 scale compared to the Lego (...)
