Especially considering that it is the Phantom Menace is anniversary this year. I’m surprised someone at Disney/Star Wars approved this set design.

They need to have space for people to actually get in and move around all the rooms comfortably. It shouldn’t be crammed and a tight fit just for one minfigure like it’s an escape pod. The Scrimtar is supposed to be 27 meters long so should be lengthwise 15 Darth Mauls across (weird measurement ik lmao). This one is about 7 Darth Mauls long so it’s around half the length it should be so the bigger previous ones were much closer in scale. Generally the closest you get to accurate scale are typically UCS sets if they’re not oversizing everything. But a good example to how much bigger things should generally be is the T6 shuttle. Look at the set and then look at custom ones people are making to more accurately represent the size. It’s massive
