A lot considering a mini fog scale ISD is a warehouse, a super Star destroyer is a football field (US), the death star is a small asteroid. So the Jedi temple will be the side of a Cosco and the Sentient building will be around that size as well.

Each row of pods had it's own halway on it's own floor of the building which also had apartments for all the senators. Think about how big this building was then. Think about it. Think about the hundreds of security points and the docks for shuttles to take the senators elsewhere in the city.

That's exactly why I like to read certain kinds of science fiction novels. That sense of scale, of enormous distances and objects. As in the ending of Alastair Reynolds' House of Suns or Pushing Ice. Makes me feel so insignificant yet hopeful of the possibility that one day the human race might actually go out into that void and build something momentous. Although it would look nothing like the Star Wars Universe ;-)

[@chemicalfrankie1030]

if that is true, that would be the most idiotic structure ever built. having such assembly already present logistical and security challenges when ppl gather, imagine if ppl had to live there as well! (just think about the mess in midtown when the UN gathers). and this is even without considering issues coming from natural disasters. bottom line: a good design would MINIMIZE ppl gather in a single place (ie single point of failure), not increase it!

Okay, this is pretty cool. Also just going to appreciate that it's not simple, each one of those layers for the pods needs a custom wall. While the pods are replicated, the main structure and floor panels are replicated, the walls all have to be custom fit into place, even if it really is just extending the edges one stud or so, but that's one of those things that a lot of people may not appreciate, and you didn't mention it in the video.
