Space Station

[Walter]

Here are a couple of shots of a very large space station that is going to be used in the video. In order to give an idea of the scale of the station, I have a Star Destroyer docked in the maintenance bay. If you remember how large the Star Destroyer is in previous shots and video clips, you'll have an idea of how immense the Space Station is.

Here is a shot of the Space Station


Here is a shot showing the Star Destroyer docked in the maintenance bay. It looks small compared to the station.

Outa curiosity...what would this be on a rough scale to the Death Star?

[Walter]

You know, that's a very good question. It's still quite a bit smaller than the Death Star if I remember correctly. I'll try to post a still shot of the two of them together to give you a better idea of the scale.

Ok here is some scale info

The Death Star is estimated to be 160 km in diameter. This is based on comparing it against other objects in various scenes from Star Wars because Lucas Arts never officially released the actual size of it. These comparisons were made by Star Wars fans and fanatics over the past 30 plus years since the movie was released. I'm only regurgitating the information here.

The space station is very roughly 22,500 meters at its widest point
and very roughly 17,500 meters tall.

For further comparison, the Star Destroyer is 1600 meters long from bow to stern.

This image shows the space station next to a sphere representing the Death Star.

Okay. Puts it a bit more in perspective.

Since we've breached this subject I thought I would give a little more visual perspective on the question.

The Death Star would stretch from Palm Springs to Long Beach California



Here is an image to give you an idea of the size of the Death Star compared to planet Earth and our moon. Eath's moon is one of the largest of the 140 plus moons in the solar system, but the Death Star is larger than several of them. Of all the large objects in our system including the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets etc, the Death Star would be the 97th largest.

Wow.
