Re: Wu is Luke, you have the last piece of the map

: Yeah, it always amazes me how freaking large the ships in Star Wars are.
: Stuff like the Death Star is one thing, but even their regular fleet are
: filled with massive ships. Imperial Star Destroyers are "only"
: 1600 meters long; at that size they dwarf basically every UNSC ship out
: there; they are nearly a full kilometer longer than Infinity .

: Really the only ship I think is actually outsized in Halo canon is the Long
: Night of Silence ; it's ridiculous to believe that a 20+ km vessel could
: actually hide at Reach for any length of time. There's no way they could
: camouflage how much heat that thing must've put out, at the minimum.

It's funny because the largest ship in Halo, which is so much larger that it's borderline comical, is just about the size of a super star destroyer(19km). Which was used as capital ships and about a dozen were fielded all over the empire, which meant it was used in a similar manner to the covenant CAS assault carrier. In comparison, the CAS measured only 5000m long, so that should give you an idea of the scale comparison between Halo and Star Wars. The CSO supercarrier was only seen once and apparently were almost exclusively used as capital ships by Hierarchs, so if anything it's more like the Death Star(absurd scale, price, and destructive potential) than an actual ship.
