I'd just make Red Dwarf the same size as B5. They were both said to be "5 miles long", and I doubt that Grant or Naylor ever bothered to come up with an exact measurement.
And in case you don't know, it's a JMC vessel. Jupiter Mining Corporation, apparently run by the SpaceCorp (which always struck me as weird. The SpaceCorp seemed to be a military oganisation, but Red Dwarf was a commercial vessel).

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Incidentally, the forest moon *did* get blasted to smithereens, albeit not intentionally so. So, uh, there. Rebel environmentalists would have a field day, if there still were Endorian fields to have days on.

Oh and there is another Goa'uld ship it's name starts with 'a'... it's what Tanith is piloting just before it crashes into a stargate in the season 5 episode "48 hours" aka "Teal'c Interrupted".

Oh god, not the "The Death Star Blowing Up Destroyed Endor" thing. That's even worse than the "They're sensor towers, not shield generators!" thing. Or "It's Enterprise-class, not Constitution-class". It's pointless, anal, and based on huge assumptions of technology. It's the worst sort of fan"fact"ion.

Well, I'm not quite sure how you can equate the three of those. One's based entirely on non-canon evidence; one's entirely contradictory to low-level canon evidence; and one's based entirely on canon evidence and science.

because science has conclusively proven what happens when an object of indeterminate size blows up with an indeterminate and unknown type of energy at an unknown distance from a moon of indeterminate size, and has an effect on a certain area which may or may not be completely populated and may or may not have been in orbit of something else and could quite possibly have been facing it, or not?

I hasten to point out that I have no argument with the crazy number-crunchers who came up with the theory. It's just that, you know, Lucas Doesn't Care. Because they are needed for the cartoon!

And also, really, the Star Wars universe doesn't care jack shit about "real" science. And because there are so many assumptions running through that article as to render is all a bit pointless. And Captain Mike has gone up in my estimation, which I'm sure thrills him to bits.

Er, which one's which? Because if you are contending that the fireworks at the end of Jedi are proof (PROOF, I TELLS YA!) that bits of the Death Star (sorry, The Death Star II) are falling onto Endor then, well, really, what?
That man is a doctor! He could have used the many many hours he spent writing that in depth and ever-so-patronising document helping mankind, by working on a flying car, or something.
