 |
|
I happened to spot this link which lists Jaina Solo's height as 1.49 meters. Apparently that's just 2cm shy of meeting the definition for dwarfism.
The Wiki article cites The New Essential Guide to Characters and the Databank as the source for the 1.49 meters.*
What's up with that?
* The Wiki article does mention in the endnote that novels and artwork indicate Jaina is around 7-8 centimeters (three inches) taller than that (5 ft 2 in). |

Well, Carrie Fisher is 5'1" (1.55m)
Jaina is still a teenager from what I can tell, maybe she hasn't grown to her full height yet? |

Generally speaking, women hit their adolescent growth spurt before men, so if anyone was going to be a midget, it would be Jacen...

Harrison Ford is 72.75 inches, and Natalie Portman is 63 inches. I suppose the women of the family could just favor the short side. Either that, or Jaina had polio as a kid...
Regardless, I think the important thing here is that short brunettes are awesome...
