Here’s a question for LEGO Star Wars curious collectors and fans. Taking the scale of a LEGO minifigure to be that of a regular human or alien character in Star Wars, how big – scaled up – would the vehicles of the Star Wars series be? Looking at crafts from all three trilogies, you might be surprised at just how vast these vehicles are.
A Venator-class Star Destroyer at 1:45 scale – the size determined closest to minifigure-scale, based on the height of a single minifigure, by Geroditus – would apparently come in at 3,208 studs long. That’s roughly 26 metres (or 84 feet).
But reading those numbers isn’t quite the same as visualising them against a real-world environment, nor seeing them in comparison to existing LEGO sets, and that’s where the beauty of this project comes in.
At the risk of running through numbers again: very unwieldy, given the diameter of the spherical station would stretch to approximately 560,000 studs (or 2.8 miles / 4.4 kilometres). That might just eke past 31203 World Map as the largest LEGO set of all time.
Exploring the galaxy since 1978, Mark wrote his first fan fiction in '81 and been a presence online since his first webpage Fanta War in 1996. He currently contributes to ILM.com and SkywalkerSound.com, having previously written for Star Wars Insider, StarWars.com, Star Wars Encyclopedia, Build The Millennium Falcon, Starburst Magazine, Geeky Monkey, TV Film Memorabilia and Model and Collectors Mart.
He is a four-time Star Wars Celebration Stage host (the only podcaster to have appeared on every Celebration podcast stage since it began in 2015), the Daily Content Manager of Fantha Tracks and the co-host of Making Tracks, Canon Fodder and Start Your Engines on Fantha Tracks Radio.
