Jcarter Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thrawn and Defender are right. They were just making a movie and trying to make things dramatic. Go back and watch Return of the Jedi, and in one of the space battle scenes, look for when a TIE fighter crashes into the bridge of a Star Destroyer. The scale is totally off, the TIE fighter takes up like a fourth of the bridge, which isn't possible unless that was just a Super TIE Fighter or something...

Also, the whole command tower does not make up the whole bridge...

I think it was an A-wing, that crashed into the Executor. http://www.theforce.net/swtc/Pix/books/taosw/tower-ssd1.jpg The A-wing probably crashed into it where those bright lights are right in the center.

Jcarter Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Yes i meant a regular star destroyer. And even so, the scale is still off. If you think about where a person would be sitting in the cockpit of the TIE and people walking around the command tower, it just doesn't scale up.

It may have been something smaller, though I don't remember the scale being all that off... http://www.theforce.net/swtc/Pix/photo/oddtower.jpg Photo courtesy of Star Wars Techincal Commentaries.
