Here is the size of every single vehicle in the Star Wars trilogy

Ever wondered about the size of a Sentinel-Class Landing Craft relative to the Millennium Falcon? If the answer is yes, you’re in luck.

Courtesy of Sploid’s All the Star Wars Vehicles Sized, you can now see how every transport, speeder, and battle station from the first three Star Wars films stacks up. From the tiny Ewok Glider to the massive, planet-incinerating Death Star, this video leaves no stone unturned.

Star Wars superfans will recognize the background music as the tune that was playing in the famous Mos Eisley cantina scene (#HanShotFirst), and as we bop away, the vehicles scroll by and we get a nostalgia-laden look at everything from the original trilogy. In total, 48 spaceships, animals, and land vehicles were rendered, the largest being the Death Star I & II, the Super Star Destroyer, and the Star Destroyer respectively.

We’ll have to wait and see how the vehicles from Star Wars: The Force Awakens measure up and if anything from the new film can compete with the Death Star in terms of size, but either way, this is seriously fun/cool.

Videos like this are a perfect example of why the Star Wars fictional universe has such staying power. Fans of the films are so dedicated and passionate that they’re always looking for new ways to interact with the story and finding what others have missed.

The video’s illustrations come courtesy of Scott Park, and you can check out more of his work here.

Though the days are starting to drag as we all wait for Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens, at least we have awesome stuff like this to keep us occupied until December 18, 2015.

May the force be with you.

George Lucas abandoned a Star Wars twist that would have changed Obi-Wan’s story
Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor stand back to back in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

Few Star Wars characters have a story as well-known or important as Obi-Wan Kenobi. The character, first introduced as an older Jedi in 1977's Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope, is both a noteworthy mentor to Luke and Anakin Skywalker and a tragic figure due to the dissolution of his friendship with the latter. Thanks to Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness' dual, decades-spanning performances as the character, Obi-Wan's story has been brought to life in almost its entirety over the years, too.

However, it turns out that Star Wars creator George Lucas originally had a very different idea for Obi-Wan Kenobi's story. In an interview with StarWars.com, Iain McCaig, who worked as a behind-the-scenes artist on Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace, revealed that Lucas originally intended to swap the names of Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Liam Neeson's Qui-Gon Jinn in that film. "It’s interesting how things evolve,” McCaig commented. “For a time, the older Jedi was named Obi-Wan and the younger Jedi was named Qui-Gon."

Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley reveals why she finds her return as Rey ‘scary’
Daisy Ridley as Rey in The Rise of Skywalker.

Last year, Lucasfilm announced a handful of promising new film projects set within the Star Wars universe, including one that will follow Rey (Daisy Ridley) as she attempts to rebuild the Jedi Order following the events of 2019's Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker. Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy subsequently confirmed in an interview with IGN that the film will take place 15 years after the conclusion of Star Wars' Sequel Trilogy and will find the Jedi "in disarray" and Rey trying to rebuild the Order "based on the books, based on what she promised Luke (Mark Hamill)."

Since then, progress on the project has been slow. Its original writers, Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson, departed the project in March 2023, and their replacement, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, reportedly parted ways with the film recently as well. For her part, Daisy Ridley has remained fairly tight-lipped about the project and its status. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, though, she did open up about actually preparing to reprise her life-changing Star Wars role.
