I have that book, and I don't think it's really the same size as the Falcon
(err, the Infiltrator, that is, not the book! :D). It does seem to be smaller.

That is true. Also, the whole back end of the ship doesn't fold down, etc.

Well, uh, I didn't see the "serious living quarters", but the other stuff,
yeah.

Probably very. Lucasfilm isn't real big on telling toy designers how to best
make a toy that will sell, just on telling them to make it the best possible
quality. And in the case of Lego, I think we see that take shape in the
relative lack of BURP-type pieces and general "Town-juniorization". It's not
hard to imagine the word from Lucas coming down to make the sets more
imagination-responsive.
But to tell them they have to make every little thing to perfect scale? Nah.
Never has been the case, from the original Kenner toys on down.
