Savage is pretty convinced of the scale. I think his sources are probably pretty good. It's certainly "in the ballpark", though I agree it seems a bit larger than I'd expected - however, it is "about head sized" compared to some of the heads, and the hood is close to that.
I'll see how I feel after it's printed. Most of the droids seem "bigger" than expected (Artoo's feet are HUGE, and Mice always surprise folks). I'm not 100% certain that the shots are even entirely consistent with themselves. It's CG, not practical. It seems maybe a little different to me compared to the head sizes "in town" compared to near Darth Maul's head. It's also possible that it was shrunk a little in the film.
I believe the 0.3m figure comes from a vague statement in an art book. I presume that was pulled out of thin air. It's also unclear which parts the 0.3m talks about. Most of those figures for other characters include things like antennae, however it's pretty clear that the antennae can't be part of the number.
All that aside, I think it'd be a perfectly viable option for someone to do a print at 80% or 90% if they think 100% is too large. Certainly nobody seeing it is going to know any better.
