Now they're tiny? You guys have weird eyes. 

Seriously? The creature's tiny head is pretty much at waist level to the actress it's handing the saber to. (though I concede the character could be kneeling/sitting EDIT: Actually, no I don't, the creature is clearly standing), but more importantly the actress's hand all but envelops the saber whereas the orange creature's hand would barely get around it.

Ah I have nothing better to do. *Gets shitty cameraphone out*

I've tried to pose it the same way as the scene so people can get a sense of scale. This saber is a hefty prop, and I have fairly small hands for a man I guess, but you guys can surely see that the alien hand is WAYYY smaller than mine. Obviously you're going to have to look at the difference in relation to the saber as I didn't think to enlarge the screenshot to get the scale to match. But my thumb reaches roughly the same point on the grip as the alien's does (further up if anything), yet my hand extends well past the bottom of it to a point where, proportionally, the alien's forearm is starting. I'm bending my hand at an awkward angle to try and get the photo one-handed, but you get the idea. Where the alien's forearm is, my wrist has only just started.
