I think that's just the nature of the wedge shaped ships in LEGO format in general, can't really go around "copying" or arriving at the same techniques. Though def looks like you did your own thing, great job!

I kinda dig tbh. It looks like a version of it living in the sequel era, repurposed by some scoundrel. Maybe I prefer that version even.

According to this article ; https://brickset.com/article/62976/minifigure-scale-star-wars-vehicles it's actually too large still. At 28cm length it's closer to minifigscale (24,17cm) than any other official version though, at least going by length. Proportionally, yeah it looks chibi-ish. I really dig the look though, nice job!

Fairly positive that game isn't canon. I really like the design though. At first glance I thought it was a harrower-class dreadnought, which is prob my favorite "star destroyer" design.

I really dig the midi-scale concept. The edges of the triangle shapes look a bit rough but everything else is spot on! I hope TLG doesn't stop at Slave 1 with the midi builds.

Slid down like in the first movie I think he might mean, though I don't think your model does that.

That does look really great, the batarang on the back kinda ruins it though.

@BrickG It also has twice as much pieces to be fair.

That's the 7b model (TCW tv-show version), where the droid is seated in a full socket in the center. We have enough of those already imo.

I don't see how this is supports your theory. The head doesn't separate, it telescopes upward. At least according to incredible cross-sections, the lower body in the movie probably just enters some kind of extra-dimensional pocket like the lower body does in the movie eta-2's (the lower half of the legs/torso literally disappear in the movie). Adding a socket ruins the sleekness of the craft, on top of it not being canon. I would hate that personally. LEGO eta-2 already look really silly with a fullsize socket. I'm hoping they just add the lower body separate like they did with the LEGO V-wing.

When they first released information about them they stated that while they were designed for atmospheric flight they are also space worthy. I edited my post to clarify that I meant battlefront space battles.

In-universe the Delta-7 Aethersprite Light Interceptor (episode 2 model) doesn't feature a full droid socket is what I meant. Every lego model featured with a full astromech socket actually has one in-universe.

I don't think they did, they are in wing-up mode in the space battles (in battlefront) as well. Wing-down is probably atmospheric mode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCeR8CVirss btw what does the second picture depict? it's not working for me.

It's shorter than the 2007 at least, I sadly don't have the 2012 to compare though. The 2013 ISD is also smaller/shorter than it's previous version but tbh that's the only other set I can think of at the top of my head.

That never actually happened with a canon starfighter model as far as I'm aware. If it features an astromech I would wager it's not the episode 2 version then.
