But, to the credit of Jacob here and Mr. Saxton over at the SWTC's, General Calrissian almost exclusively referred to the Executor as 'the command ship'. IIRC the Tydirium crew also called it a command ship.

i'm sure they were just like "oh that ackbar, always screwin' up the english. i'd correct him, but if i didn't do my job controllin' this here deflector screen we'd be fried". maybe someone took him to task after the battle.

Dude, I don't think they really speak English in "Star Wars."
And, er, sorry, you've got as much evidence the ship wasn't an SSD as it was -- calling something a command ship is a refernece to its job, not what it is. A police car is a police car regardless if its a Mustang or a Crown Vic.

Well, you do realize the, uh, "respected majority opinion," such as it is, is on his side, yes? Personally, I've always found this sort of attention indescribably creepy when applied to Star Wars. And yet, look at how I spend my days. So what do I know?

Well, the Star Wars contingent has the whole aspect of encylopediae, books, reference materials, reference websites, discussion forums and other media available to nitpick to the tinest detail the agonizingly little points about Star Destroyers and whatnot. So, I suppose, there's where the creepiness kicks in.

The typo-maiden aided me, I now proclaim the correct term to be "Superb Star Destroyer"!
It was called SSD simply because it was a bigger version of the only known ship that resembles it, don't read anything else into it or you'll turn grayhaired overnight. And walking in stairs and masturbating will become straining. As separate events, I mean. Yes, combining them would be dangerous.

quote:The colloquial term "super star destroyer"should be avoided. This is not mere pedantry; the term is actually misleading. In addition to its connection with the confusion over Executor's length, the term is also applied to some vessels which clearly belong to different classes: eg. Allegiance and Eclipse in Dark Empire, which only share little more than the distinction of being slightly or greatly bigger than one-mile destroyers.
Question for you, EdipisReks.
Which source of information do you find more thrustworthy: Ackbar's line -- which is canon -- or a comic written by a bunch of obsessed fanboys?
Walking in stairs is straining? You must have a weird staircase.

well, dark empire is crap, and ackbar's line was a mistake. read into it what you will. the quote talks of non-canon (but official) items to illustrate how "super star destroyer" is a term that is rife with misunderstanding and encompasses far to many ship types. yes, ackbar's line is canon, but that does not make it correct. dark empire is about a time frame that is not protrayed in movies, so unless movies contradict the comic it is correct to address ships designations that the comic uses in the same light as any canon. star wars doesn't work quite the same was as trek. can we get back to talking about that fan movie now?
