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...

You do realize that the TIE crashed into the bridge of a different Star Destroyer and not the Executor, right? Also, the whole command tower does not make up the whole bridge...

I think it was an A-wing, that crashed into the Executor.

The A-wing probably crashed into it where those bright lights are right in the center.

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.

Not that I like using Saxton logic too much, but we can't truly be certain that was a regular Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It may have been something smaller, though I don't remember the scale being all that off...
