Uh...dont see it.

I see the picture fine but all it looks like is a bunch of buildings on the ship's dorsal structure.

Wow! LOL!

I don't know. It is likely invisibly small in the movie, but since the model was used in the movie, it is canon. Imperial designer humour?

Right from the center, there is a hole like thing in the structure and a soldier within that. Body, head and left arm is visible.

KDY-Tradition demands, that something alive is built into the hull.

According to that superstition such a sacrifice brings luck for the vessel in question. The bigger the vessel, the bigger the sacrifice.

In case of the Executor they had to get the support of the Imperial Navy and search half the galaxy until they found a speciem on Endor called Gorax and whose kind is suited for a ship like the Executor .

The fact, that they discovered him on Endor caused the empire to built its second DS there.

Yeup...and for that we should take his tongue for uttering such a horrible thing.

As a joke. Jokes don't count in terms of canonicity, otherwise there would also literally be a gigantic potato and sneaker in the Hoth Asteroid Field as well...

I've never seen em (the giant potato/ sneaker).

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2004-08-07 01:08pm

They're there. You just have to know exactly where to look. I can't remember exactly where in the field the potato is, but I've seen the shoe quite clearly many times.

Inside jokes and gags like that apply under the same rules as goofs and continuity errors, in that they don't count and generally should be completely ignored.

Start at right/center and then go left about an inch, he is hiding in shallow hole. I had to enlarge the picture to spot it myself.

How tall would that guy actually be? I can't see him mind you, so this better not be a big joke on me or anything.
