THX TV's Frink… :)

This seems too big to me.  I may be totally wrong, but it seems like all the composite shots are too inconsistent to be relied on that heavily.

I admit it's a hard one according the references we have, but what makes you feel it should be smaller?

Another possibility may be to try to judge the size of the ship based on the interior corridors.

Isn't it what the cross section does? What do you think of that drawing?

Sluggo said:

The droids are a consistent size as are the escape pods and the spacing of the pod hatches in the ship.  I don't know if that approach would be helpful or not.

Well the proportions of the pod (as also seen in the Tatooine desert) lead to a Tantive of 75 m, but that would leads us to another problem.

The big debate about the size of an ISD, leads us to the 1 mile theory against the bigger (2 miles?) theory. (I don't think I've seen a smaller ISD scale theory around, I'm I wrong?)

I personally don't seek what's reliable or not, I take all the 6 movies as a whole, even though I know they're filed with discrepancies, I only seek here to find the best choice one can make (when it comes to fix things) in order to make the whole saga more consistent. I don't think it's wise to reject data in general according to their kind or origin. I rather choose to discard data if it leads to less consistency to the saga as a whole. That's why I like the 150 m blockade runner because it's the "less inconsistent" theory IMHO…
