PS: Unfortunately, Zsinj's Iron Fist is confirmed to be Executor-class, which raises some issues that need to be explained.

why the Home One's official length is 1300 m
Well that one they kinda dodged and answered... It IS a MC80 , picture and every thing (sorry PR)... and they were deep space exploration vessels that got away from the battle of Mon Calamari (1st); but here's what is written on page 180: "... A typical MC80 of the Civil War era measured around twelve hundred meters and was armed with forty-eight turbolasers, twenty ion cannons, and thirty-six starfighters."
It goes on to answer why they have those good shields and gives context LOT'S OF IT... But telling more wouldn't be fair to the authors, now, wouldn't it...
Sorry, I forgot to address this one:
Or why the Eclipse and the Sovereign-class SSDs aren't Star Dreadnoughts like the Executor-class
They are now.

If it's hard then it's worth doing.

pas que la planète bleue soit mise à feu et à sang par ces monstres. Je
me battrai pour les empêcher de détruire ce qui est devenue ma Terre.
Goldorak m'aidera. Au besoin, j'irai jusqu'au camp de la Lune Noire
puisque c'est là que Véga et ses monstres ont établi leur base. Et je la
détruirai.

I believe that we're going to have to wait for the new RPG stuff to come out. But you're right about the re-alignment on G-canon. It's the spirit and the "flavor" of Star Wars that should be the final trunk cards in the end.

So they are actually called Star Dreadnoughts by name, because they if they aren't explicitly stated to be, Wookieepedia will never accept it. Wookieepedia is already calling the new Mandator III just a dreadnought.They are now.

like the speed of the T65A being 80 MGLT's. being an X-Wing Alliance fan, id assumed the T65 to have a speed of 100 MGLT, to be on par with the standard TIE, although you did drop that speed to 80 as well for the initial model

Many other aspects of movie units that people take for granted actually come from the EU; if it's the OT, that most likely means the original D6 RPG from WEG. Some poor, arbitrary decisions on how ships in the films work are reflected in the EU to this day because LFL refuses to override the mistakes. Most of the info in D6 is brilliant, but when it intersects with what's on the screen, it's usually a headache. See here.

side note. im going through EGW, and im looking right at the Nebula and Endurance. any chance of them getting into 1.3 or 1.4? now that theres finally a link between the 2 classes of ships, a common base model could be used, with modifications being made from the Nebula to turn it into an Endurance. Endurance seems to be a nice counterpart to the Venator, what with its 9-18 squadrons of fighters. given that a standard NR squadron is generally twice as effective as its rivals, i'd think that even being on the lower end of that spectrum would be fair. figure 3 squadrons of K-wings, and 2 each for upgraded A, E, and X-wings as the bare minimum,
