Does Star Wars have some of the largest spaceships in sci-fi?

The following Space entities are among the largest yet known:

1. Cetadel (Mass Effect)
2. Alien Mothership (Independence Day)
3. Death Star I (Star Wars)
4. Death Star II (Star Wars)
5. Star Forge (Star Wars)
6. Unicron - The Planet Eater (Transformers)

However, if the Galactus Ship is as huge as Hewhoknowsall asserts than it is perhaps the largest space entity yet introduced in the Sci-Fi genre.

7. The Ancients' worldships(voidships?) are at the very least continent-sized.

Galactus's worldship is the size of a STAR SYSTEM

Bah, none of that compares to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Length: 10 million light years!

Though its an anime thing so it might not count.

Still, its a freaking rediculous number

Doesn't count. Nothing in Gurren lagann can be used in earnest. If you want to laugh about how silly it is feel free. Using it non-ironically though... 🙁

Nu-uh! It sooo counts! I mean its, liek sci fi and its ... a ship and and ... and 10 million light years! Spiral powa! Who the **** do you think I am! etc...

Heh, that was so coollame

I know Anime loves to exaggerate things, but 10mil light years? C'mon...

EDIT: Just how big is the Star Forge anyway?

Lol, the great thing about Gurren lagann is how unashamedly over the top it is. In the final fight they start throwing galaxies at each other.

edit: Ah yes. I think it was actually pretty massive, even bigger than the Death Star iir.

The Hammerhead-class cruisers used by the Republic were 315 meters long. I just watched the Light Side ending where the capital ships destroy the orbital stabilizers on top of the station. Doing a visual in my head, the Star Forge is NOWHERE near the size of the first Death Star. I would say from top to bottom it's probably around the length of the Executor.

Technology in star wars works in curious ways. Nothing really changes except things get bigger and more powerful, but the base technology and aesthetic qualities remain unchanged. Well at least starting from KotoR on, with a bizarre little break during the New Sith Wars were people are using swords and spears and shit. I guess guns just aren't as cool.

Ah, I see. I must of got confused by this clip (which I still am), which shows the star forge as being (comparable to?)not dwarfed by a sun:

That is pretty strange. You can't really see the Star Forge at that distance, but either that star is smaller than what we'd expect, or the designers screwed up.

yes, some of them.

This may shed light on the size of the Star Forge:

The Star Forge is significantly smaller than the Death Star.

I think that the Zenosaga games had a ship that was 10,000 kilometers. Like Cathedral Ship, but I dont know. That name doesn't sound right. It was like a crazy alien ship thing. The Actual ship, not a station. The largest Worldship was huge though at 120 km. Zenosaga also had the Dammerung, which was like 10,000 km also. Pretty ridiculous. SW had some mile long ships during the Lando series way back. They were those weird robots from the unknown regions.

The ones from the Vong galaxy, I believe.

What ones from the Vong galaxy? Worldships? The largest was 120 km. Pretty dang big.

No, those droid ships from the Unknown Regions. Those are supposed to be one of the two sentient droid species that the Vong pushed out of their galaxy.

Where would that big ass ship from District 9 be at?

It is smaller than the City Destroyer we saw in Independence Day.

However, it is most likely bigger than the Executor Class battleship we saw in Star Wars.
