Watch every vehicle the original Star Wars trilogy sized to scale

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.
