Sounds to big to me, too, but that is apparently his info, unless I got 1/20 of 23m wrong.

Not so secret, actually. You're claiming that this ship measures out to 1/20 of 23m, which is the official sw database length, so about 43", correct?
Very big, very impressive! Thanks for the info, JJ!

Okay, what is the measurement you were given that might be incorrect?
Give or take a couple inches is okay.

I don't know how long it is, I am just estimating on the size of the cockpit compared to the old Y-Wing cockpit. Jesse James claims to know the length of this, but he is not saying. There is a measuring tape under the ship, but it is a little too blurry to read the numbers.

I'm starting to get excited about this. It looks really big, at least 2' long, and I'm loving the fact that I'm getting a SW ship with a function ball turret! That's super cool. I always loved those on WWII bombers, and am really looking forward to playing with this thing (Dobn't shoot the astromech! {Unless it's Goldie!})

I bet that buy the time Gold Squadron was in the Death Star trench they were wishing the second ball turret gunner was still on board!

On another note that Tonnika sister looks hot in a 70's sort of way in that BW smugshot.
Which is exactly why I think a bored photog started moving letters around.

If that's the only thing that links them to protitution, it certainly isn't enough for Hasbro or Lucasfilm to worry about some backlash from the religious right or something as a reason to not make the figure. It looks to me much more ambiguous, and if I just seen the picture without reading the thread, "star whores" wouldn't have entered my mind. It looks like it could easily have been carelessness in a hurried intern taking ref pics, and, most likely, it was indeed a very much a very one-off joke made by a bored photog when he probably had to spend a entire week doing hundreds of these shots of all the characters.
Very much a non-issue compared to the the actress rights problem that has been widely acknowledged to be the problem.

Has there ever been an official document/comic/book whatever released that calls them prostitutes?

You're thinking of the Technical Commentaries: http://www.theforce.net/swtc/index.html
Great site! I haven't visited it in ages. I just scanned it, and they do talk about the ejection seats but don't have a film still from ESB

That's very interesting if Qui-Gon is on that list. Maybe we are misunderstanding what the entire "A-list" means, since I think there was at least one 3 year stretch when we didn't see a single Qui-Gon, wasn't there? And I'm not sure a year has gone by when Han wasn't made, or C-3PO for that matter. Maybe there's actually something tied in with the movies here, and Qui-Gon & Darth Maul are the "A-listers" for TPM, but lower ranked in overall release strategies.

Since he was talking off the top of his head, I bet he got Qui-Gon wrong. All the others we see 3-4 times as often as Qui-Gon, who doesn't even come out every second year.
I bet the real list drops Qui-Gon, and adds chewie & Han.
