Why do I think Star Wars when I see these ships

Maybe its me but they look like some space clunker delivering supplies to some start ship or something. Han Solo could be hiding in one of those trash compactors or something. Especially the post made with the pic of the Caribbean Highway. That thing looks like it is seeing its last days.

Some of these carriers are certainly odd appearing but function as roll on/roll off vessels that are quite efficient. For as long as the cars are well protected and arrive without injury - they can look like Texas shrimpers for all I care. May the force be with you.

The ships look like the sand crawler that the Jawa's used for selling their robots. Big, clunky and rather ... BIG! That is why so many of our minis can fit inside of them!!!!

Some of the ones manufactured in the last two years can actually carry 8,000 vehicles, so one reason they look lot like a box.
