Hm, apparently had a misconception about the size of the Delta Flyer.

Guess it's bigger than I thought.  I was thinking it was a little bigger than the tiny TNG shuttles (which weren't much bigger than X-wings...where are the warp cores on those things, anyway?  The back of it opens up for cargo, no room for power core!).

However, looking at the interior...

It looks way smaller than the Falcon on the inside.

I think I agree with others on this.  I really think the Falcon must be more like 40 Meters long then 26.  Ya, it stats that in some Star Wars Tech book, but if you guys remember some of the tech stuff presented in the Star Trek: DS9 Tech Manual didn't make sense either.  As stated above, the Falcon is suppose too carry Cargo too and we see many times that it is quite a bit larger then Fighters.  Also, just look at the Bridge/Cock Pit of the Falcon.  I think looking at the set for the Bridge is a good example of proving that the ship must be more like 40 meters because if it was 26 meters, it would look really weird with such a large Bridge section.

You can?t make an accurate measurement by a model used in the original films.  You did know that the size of the Rebel Blockade Runner was bigger than the Imperial Star Destroyer chasing it?  It would be kind of hard to measure them correctly when the smallest ship is really bigger than the massive ship its running from.  Also, I wasn?t comparing the Falcon with the Flyer; I was comparing it to the Aeroshuttle of the Intrepid Class.  The Flyer is 21meters long and the Aeroshuttle is 24.8 meters.

Yes, however they were positioned to make the ISD appear bigger.

It doesn't work with COMPARISONS between two ships, except in one case-

If they make the two ships ATTACH.

Remember, the blockade runner fit inside the ISD's docking bay...that was an accurate depiction of the size.

And remember, the Falcon attached to the ISD?  Again, there is an accurate depiction of the size!

is there anything on the official starwars site about the size of the falcon?, also if you look at starwats episode4 the falcon is biger that the delta flyer, but is it biger that a bop?.

[Praxis]

No, the BOP is 100 meters long I believe.

The Falcon is either 27 meters long by StarWars.com, or 45 meters long by the original model and Curtis Saxton, astrophysicist who measured the models and wrote the only canon tech manual.

So it's either a tad bit bigger than a shuttle (yeah, right), or half the length of a BOP.
