I am going by the dimensions of the Life-sized model seen in the Star Wars
Trilogy. The sets seen in the movies occupy 40% more space than is available
in the life-sized model. What the Star Wars website lists is irrelevent when
we watch the movies and see the Falcon and X-wing life size models. We also
see those ships flying next to each other. At movie scale TLC's Falcon is near
perfect.
