Lucas and Height

I have just realized(I know I am dense), that alot of Lucas characters are shorter then their counterparts. For example Han Solo is 1.80 meters, while Harrison Ford is taller then that. Luke is 1.73 meters, but Hamil is said to be taller. Why does Lucas do that?

 

I think meters are bigger in the GFFA.

 

I don't think he measures them exactly before he says how tall they are.

 

I think the databank is bad at translating measurements from the imperial system to the metric system.

Edit: And of course, what Duckie said.

 

Yeah, you and Duckie are most likely right. It is just intresting , I always thought Han was at least 6"0.

 

Jawas, Yoda, R2, ewoks, Lucas likes short people.

 

Well, we know he likes to use short people (as pointed out above, and you can also reference Willow), but I think as for the rest it's just coincidence.

 

Jango's clones are taller than he is, due to better nutrition IIRC.
