StarWars Ships & Other Gigantic Japanese Cruisers
So, I re-watched Star Wars Episode III again and was very impressed by the ships appearing at the Siege of Coruscant in the beginning and the battle it self was awesome!
It reminded me of the Huge Naval Battles between Japan & US at the Pacific during WWII & the battle between the Zendradi & Meltrani star fleets at the end of Macross DYRL film.
I especially liked the Trade Federation cruisers / Grievous' Flagship, (Invisible Hand)
Personally I think that General Grievousâ flagship looks better than the Empires' Star Destroyers.

SWIII ships:

Same goes for the Banking Clan Frigate, albeit smaller.
Both looked a lot more agile, cooler and very Japanese looking compared to the bulky star destroyers in SWIII.
By the way the Venator-class Star Destroyer in SWIII looked relatively smaller than the ones in Starwars IV,V & VI (Especially compared to Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer in Episode V, which was massive)
But no Cruiser, Frigate or Star Destroyer can match the all mighty SDF-1 Super Dimension Fortress Macross / Robotech 😉

So, what are your opinions and what other huge battle cruiser (From other series / movies) come to mind?
Post your photos.
