== Luthen Rael deserves his own article ==

== List Project (from todo page) ==

Remaining lists:

* [[List of Star Wars Dark Jedi]]

* [[Star Wars families]]

* [[List of Star Wars Imperial characters]]

* [[List of Star Wars Galactic Alliance characters]]

* [[List of Galactic Empire soldiers]]

* [[List of Galactic Alliance soldiers]]

* [[List of Star Wars ranks]] (all ranks should be included and explained on this list IMO)

* [[List of Star Wars Sith characters]] (minor sith should be included and explained on this list IMO)

* More to come?

Right now, Luthen Rael does not have his own individual article on Wikipedia. I think its pretty clear that Luthen is a character who is deserving of one. [[User:SpiritedMichelle|SpiritedMichelle]] ([[User talk:SpiritedMichelle|talk]]) 00:13, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

== [[Empire Strikes Back]] dispute ==

: There is [[Draft:Luthen Rael]], it just needs to be improved to meet the criteria. <span class="nowrap">[[User:Vestrian24Bio|<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:#0078D7;">'''''Vestrian24Bio'''''</span>]]</span> 03:09, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

== [[:Tales of the Jedi (TV series)]] has an [[WP:RFC|RfC]]==

There is an ongoing dispute regarding whether the [[Empire Strikes Back]] article should mention that the Dark Side cave on Dagobah was created by a Bpfassi Dark Side user or somesuch in the Expanded Universe. Please inject some sanity into [[Talk:Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back#Dagobah Bpfassi cave factoid?]] so the slow-mo edit war can be put to an end. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <font color="black">'''Bl♟ck'''</font>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 00:07, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Information.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>'''[[:Tales of the Jedi (TV series)]]''' has an RfC for possible consensus. A discussion is taking place. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments on the '''[[Talk:Tales of the Jedi (TV series)#RFC: Article title|discussion page]]'''.<!-- Template:Rfc notice--> Thank you. - [[User:Adamstom.97|adamstom97]] ([[User talk:Adamstom.97|talk]]) 09:50, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

== More lightsaber silliness ==

== Requested move at [[Talk:Tales of the Jedi (TV series)#Requested move 24 July 2025]] ==

Here's a table that I've since hidden temporarily on [[lightsaber combat]]. Anybody else think this is pure silliness? It reads as follows:

== Good article reassessment for [[Something, Something, Something, Dark Side]] ==

The different lightsaber combat forms can be countered by others forms:

[[Something, Something, Something, Dark Side]] has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the [[Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Something, Something, Something, Dark Side/1|reassessment page]]. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] ([[User talk:Z1720|talk]]) 15:00, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

:Where in the world did this come from? Star Wars has sunk to THIS level?! Not saying the chart is bad, or the editor is bad (by no means), but if this is true.....what has happened to good 'ol star wars?! [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 23:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

::IIRC, the seven forms of lightsaber combat were printed in an issue of Star Wars Insider a while back, so I don't think this is fanon... that is, if the forms listed are the correct ones. [[User:The Wookieepedian|The Wookieepedian]] 23:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Besides, it's probably from some videogame. That's the major issue with Star Wars articles: mixing video games with real content; video game battle systems and concepts are there for gameplay, not story. They belong in video game-related articles. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 23:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

::::The lightsaber forms are canonical, though I think only Vaapad has an actual name. But I don't know where these counters came from. [[User:Jedi6|Jedi6]] 23:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::I'd say we exclude it until we have a concrete source and citation. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 23:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::: Could be that part of it is extrapolated from the Episode III novel (e.g. "His own Makashi simply did not generate the kinetic power to meet Djem So head-to-head"). -- [[User:Wacko2|wacko2]] 04:51, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

== Infobox that doesnt belong ==

Beside '''Olié, Ric''' and '''Omega Squad''' there is an ''Star Wars Character'' infobox by the title of Vidar, Kim. Even wierder is that the pic name is ''Ralph_Brown.jpg''. Can someone double check, might be a case of secret vandalism.

[[List of Star Wars Old Republic characters#Olié, Ric|Click here for direct link]]

: Okay apprently ''Vidar Kim'' portrayer name is ''Ralph Brown'' but still this infobox should be there since it should be beside the entry of Vidar Kim. [[User:Tutmosis|Tutmosis]] 21:12, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

::Ralph Brown portrayed Ric Olié. Looking at the history, I think the infobox is just a not-quite-thorough attempt by [[User:Dark jedi requiem|Dark jedi requiem]] at cleaning up the Ric Olié article. He probably copied the Vidar Kim infobox which is further up the page. -- [[User:Wacko2|wacko2]] 05:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

== "You" usage ==

SPPs are common in gaming articles (for example, "You can go to the top and defeat the boss there.") In reality, this should be changed to "one" or "the player" or "the character" or whatever. Here is a google search: [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&domains=en.wikipedia.org&as_qdr=all&q=%22Star+Wars%22+you+-inurl%3ATalk+-inurl%3ATemplate+-inurl%3AUser+-inurl%3ACategory+-inurl%3AUser_talk+-inurl%3AWikipedia_talk+-inurl%3A%22Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_Star_Wars%22+-inurl%3A%22Portal%3AStar_Wars%22+-inurl%3A%22WP%3APJSW%22+-inurl%3A%22Wikipedia%3AFeatured_article_candidates%22+-%22You+can+help+Wikipedia%22&btnG=Search&sitesearch=en.wikipedia.org] [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 21:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

== Star wars game information ==

Star wars game articles, such as [[Star Wars: Battlefront]], have excess game information. [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information|Wikipedia is not]] a game guide; this information should be the subject of a transwiki. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 21:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

== Template ==

If you ever see a Star Wars template without a catergory please add the following code to the template:

<pre>

<noinclude>

[[Category:Star Wars templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]

</noinclude>

</pre>

Thank You. [[User:Jedi6|Jedi6]] 22:23, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

==Page==

Do we really need this page: [[List of Star Wars organizations]]. We have already [[List of minor Star Wars organizations]] & [[List of Star Wars companies]]. Why do we need an article listing the contents box of these two articles. [[User:Tutmosis|Tutmosis]] 22:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

:It's a good list to keep all items together; however, we DO have an option; we can combine corporations, organizations, and governments into a large template for navigational purposes. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 23:04, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

== Category ==

[[:Category:Star Wars organisation]] page is spelled incorectly, how do i check what articles link to this section since if i rename it we might have a problem. [[User:Tutmosis|Tutmosis]] 03:08, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, I think I might need to check, but isn't that how it is spelled in England? I mean, most of our stuff has uses a North American style, so it should probably be changed. I don't mind either way. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 04:53, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

::The old American vs. British style debate. Since Star Wars is an American product we would use American spelling. Also to check what links to a page just go to the first link on the left side of the page below the search bar. It says '''What links here''' or you can go to [[Special:Whatlinkshere/''pagename'']]. [[User:Jedi6|Jedi6]] 05:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

::: So what you guys think we should do with this? change it to organi'''Z'''ation? if so probably we gonna have to start a new page and delete this one since their is no move buttom. [[User:Tutmosis|Tutmosis]] 13:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

:::: I don't mind; we just have to make sure all links are taken care of. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 18:06, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

== Membership ==

Personally, I'd prefer to work alongside the project rather than as part of it because I don't like to get tied down doing things. I've added this talk page to my watchlist and will contribute if I feel I can add something worthwhile to this project. -- His Imposingness, the [[Grand Moff]] [[User:Deskana|Deskana]] <small>[[User_Talk:Deskana|(talk)]]</small> 08:03, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

: Well, you dont have to officially join the project and how ever you would like to contribute is fine with me and hopefully rest of the members. This is wikipedia and all positive contributions are greatly appreciated. [[User:Tutmosis|Tutmosis]] 14:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

:: Yeah, you don't have to officially join the project. We mainly use the membesrhip list to know who to give notices and other things to. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 16:15, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

==Hide Template==

[[Nebulon-B Frigate]] is listed both in the [[Template:SW RebVechs|Vehicles of the Rebel Alliance / New Republic]] and [[Template:SW ImpVechs|Vehicles of the Galactic Empire]]. Apparently it was used by both sides. My question is how do i add that hide option to a template since if we have both templates than the page will look off balanced? [[User:Tutmosis|Tutmosis]] 13:55, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

:I'm not sure how to use the [hide] function, but I think you could check out the [[List of Final Fantasy X characters]] page, which uses a custom template with a hide feature. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 16:16, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

== Todo page==

To make it easier to navigate, I'm thinking about using the todo's talk page like the Final Fantasy wikiproject: discussions on the todo list items (outside of some minor comments) will go there, and be archived upon completion. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 18:18, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

: Totally agree! Its clean and organized. [[User:Tutmosis|Tutmosis]] 00:24, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[[Category:WikiProject Star Wars]]

== Article assessment ==

This features defenitely would be a fun part of this project to add. If we were to do it, I think it should work like this: We pick couple articles a day (SW related) and as a community read them over. We make a peer review for the page of all the things than can be improved and vote on a score. [[User:Tutmosis|Tutmosis]] 00:41, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

== New article ==

I just created [[Darksaber (novel)]]. I'll get to work on a few more novels pretty soon. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 01:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

:Cool. It's nice to see a good summary for a SW novel, since a lot of the SW novel pages seems to be either stubs, or very short. I think that a large focus of this project should be the expansion of the SW novel articles that are already created. A lot of them need expansion, IMHO (especially ones like [[The Thrawn trilogy]]). [[User:The Wookieepedian|The Wookieepedian]] 04:04, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

::Exactly. The only thing we have to be sure of is to make sure all summaries are succinct. There should be three paragraphs, in my opinion. I'd say anything logner than the darksaber plot summary may be too much. [[User:Deckiller|Deckiller]] 04:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
