Think, evil, Imperial Star Wars version of Abraham Lincoln.

There's, uh, a big differnce between 5'5 and 6'8

Okay, Okay, I'm scaling back to 6'6", my height in RL.

Luke was like 5'9, 5'10 easy. Vader didn't stand a full foot above him.

<blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Luke Skywalker was what, 5'5" tall? When he walked into Leia's cell on the first death star, Leia said he was a little short for a stormtrooper.<hr></blockquote>

Luke was 5'7" (1.72m)... she might have said he was "a little short" if the average was around 5'10" to 6'... probably not a full foot taller... Luke would not have fit into the Stormie's costume if the Stormie were even close to 6'8"... the only Imperial character that I can think of from the movies that even looks tall is Vader.. who was about 6'7"(2.02m) in armor...

Chewie had to be at least 8 feet tall.

They said Chewie was between 2.5 meters to 3 meters tall, and one meter is at least three and a half feet.

Chewie was 2.28 meters tall (7.5 feet).

The point is moot in the game, as due to restrictions everyone will probably be about the same height. Unrealistic, admittedly, but there's only so much you can do with an 8-bit RPG-Maker.
