The problem is that a lot of other people DO take them seriously.

Yeah I've seen it.

But the thing is... Who's "right" doesn't matter, because LFL has the final say, and if they say a A-Wing is 9.6m and Home One is 1200m, then that's how big they are.

The only way someone could reasonably argue otherwise if they had access to the original model, and could say that model was 100% accurate to scale. Because even with the original model unless you can say for sure it was proper scale you can't really say anything.

I saw a picture from somewhere that showed the cockpit of the Falcon that was so small, chewies feet hung out the bottom of it. Yet it was a functional set used in the movie.

But again, the correct size is whatever LFL says it is. Maybe the A-Wing in RotJ wasn't actually 9.6m but it seems pretty clear the ones in Rebels are.

First off this...

That works amazingly well.

I don't know if this will work (first time attaching a video)

I think this artist did a good job of what it should feel like inside of a Tie Fighter.

Now I want to rewatch Robotech, Thundersub, Battle of the Planets and and and

Stupid aging, I loved the mid 80's.

and... and... THUNDERCATS!!!

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors!

Ulysses 31!

The strangest thing is the TIE windshield looks different from inside the cockpit. On the outside its like:

|

\ /

- -

/ \

|

And from the pilot's view:

| |

= =

| |

(Approximation)

Basically it's like the model maker and set designer didn't use the same schematics. But we know that it's all part of a holographic display system, right? (Or some other space magic) All you have to do is rotate the windshield like 45 degrees.

Go ahead and flip them off, their astromech will see it.

This is quite a good observation...

from Episode IV...

and

Slight hiccup there?

This is quite a good observation...

There's a power that comes from deep inside of youuu.....

Best cartoon theme song ever

Ohgodyes. Well.... Unless you start counting anime. Because Yoko Kanno.

Best cartoon theme song ever

It was so 80's it brings a tear to my eye. But the soundtrack for the Transformers the Movie was as good if not better.

Edit... adding the video because why not?

One will stand, one will fall.

Dare to be stupid!

The only problem is the models aren't necessarily built to a standard scale. They may build several in various sizes to fulfill various shot requirements. These sizes may not be scaled to one another. Take for instance the models on STARTREK TOS. Before the advent of CGI everything was practical effects and they 3 or 4 models used for various shots. The model used when orbiting a planet was, I think, three feet long. They even had a model about 1-1/2" long used in one episode as a voodoo doll on a chain.

The best sources would be the cgi files themselves. These should be drawn to some standard. Like a six foot person is 6" tall which would scale to 1"=1'-0". The sizes can then be manipulated in the compter for perspective.

Lack of reliable size information has been the bane of scratch builders since the first modeler began to cut styrene.

Falcon cockpit:

Mind you, the first picture was from the making of the Holiday Special, probably without access to the original sets and props for the most part.

I thought it was a pretty well known continuity error. There's been stuff on the internets about it for over 20 years. But then I never see anyone talk about it. Oh well.

Yeah, well some of us old farts miss things from time to time.
