The next source to weigh in on anything quantitative is The Art of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) which tells us, rather unhelpfully, that Vader’s Star Destroyer has “twice the destructive capability of any craft in the Imperial fleet.” In 1983, in The Empire Strikes Back National Public Radio Dramatization has Lando Calrissian eyeball Vader’s flagship to be about three times the size of Cloud City, a measurement that is no help given that Cloud City’s size is never specified. We can take it as canon that the Executor is indeed more awesome than a regular Star Destroyer, but specifics about size are lacking. The six huge ships are surrounded by a convoy of smaller spacecraft. It just says the following:ĭarth Vader’s Star Destroyer, larger and more awesome than the five Imperial Star Destroyers that surround it, sits in the vastness of space. Does the script say anything on how big the Star Destroyer is supposed to be? Alas, no. So we are forced to turn to text and see what’s been written about the Star Destroyer length. Han & Chewie would go on to endlessly debate this view.īut even here there are camera-based unknowns like lens-type and focal length that could affect how big the objects in the image appear.
