Some would say, he was compensating for something...


I know Darth Vader's flagship Super Star Destroyer, Executor, was supposed to be a pretty big ship, but I never realized just how big until I saw this scale comparison of various spaceships from popular sci-fi television shows and movies. I would have hated to be the one responsible for taking that thing to the car wash.

As an aside, is it just me, or does the Executor look just like the mouse pointer on your computer desktop?

I remember seeing this at the Science Fiction Museum in Seattle a few years ago. They also had an interactive panel where you could zoom and rotate individual ships. Pretty cool.

And 17,000+ meters damn, that's almost 11 miles.
