I don't think Kamino is bigger than Earth, since the anatomy of the Kaminoans suggests a low gravity and therefore a low planetary mass.

Jango's jetpack acceleration was roughly the same on Kamino as it was on Coruscant, so it's reasonable to assume that they have pretty close gravitational accelerations.

Either that or Jango's pack limits its acceleration in order to keep the user oriented better.

Keep in mind that they originally evolved as aquatic beings. That should acount for some degree of difference.

Hmmm... this way, their long necks actually make sense if the natural habitats of the Kaminoans are shallow seas.

Perhaps they have installed some gravity-reducing devices in their buildings to decrease trouble they might suffer from gravity.

Jesus Christ, I can't believe how worked up some of you are getting over the Reading Level: 9-12 thing.

Look, that's about how old a kid has to be so that they'll likely have no trouble reading the God damn book. It's not saying it's a upper limit, but a lower limit. It's so you don't give it to a five-year-old or such.

Silly boys...

Well, really only Crown was hesitant about the reading age. But yeah, reading ages don't count for shit.
