Talk:Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back

Who added the cleanup tag?
 * It's not there now, but that's a good idea. There's some missing details and things need to be checked.  - Finlayson 03:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Synopsis missing some early bits?
The synopsis tells of Luke checking out meteorites and being knocked unconscious. Then several paragraphs later, he leads the snowspeeders in the Battle of Hoth. There is no mention of how Luke escapes, nor of his vision of Obi-Wan. I'd add these myself but (a) I'm new here and don't want to step on anyone else's turf, and (b) I'm typing this with one hand, the other being busy holding a baby who I will shortly have to diaper for the fourth time tonight. :-)

I added some more. Is that better? - Sidewinder
 * Good work. The Search for Skywalker section could use some checking.  I think Han tries to leave before Luke is lost.  And there's no mention of Han and Chewie shooting the probe, alerting the Imperials.  -Finlayson 03:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you to whoever fixed the redlinks.

The Battle of Hoth

 * The AT-ST Scout walkers are mentioned in this section. They don't show up until ROTJ, unless they are mentioned in the book or something (??).  -Finlayson 03:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)


 * They are there. Just hard to see.
 * Right. Thanks.  -Finlayson

Div for the crawl
I've changed the crawl to use a "div" to specify formatting, rather than ad-hoc wiki markup. If nobody objects I'll do the same to the crawls for the other movies. Also, if anyone can figure out a nice way to get the text to be justified (like in the real crawls) please go ahead. My best attempt is included in the article, commented out. --P3d0 22:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. --P3d0 23:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Emperor's Speech Discrepancy
Anyone know the difference in the speech Palpatine makes to Vader (in the asteroid field) regarding the 'Son of Skywalker'? There's supposed to be a definite change -between the original dialogue and the Special Edition- that Lucas made to reflect the new info coming when ROTS came out. It's subtle, but worth a mention in the article.Tocneppil 07:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Ships in the fleet at the end

 * I've been wondering what the Hell kind of ships those are in the Rebel fleet during the ending sequence of the Special Edition. Does anyone know?70.69.245.78 20:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation link at top
Could someone tell me why this link Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (disambiguation) at the top is really needed? The only other thing that is similar is the novel. There's already the link to the The Empire strikes back axiom there. -Fnlayson 17:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, there's also the junior novelization, the audio drama, and the comics. Adamwankenobi 18:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, those first 2 qualify. I searched for Episode V,"Episode V", etc. and got none of that.  The Search feature here stinks.  -Fnlayson 18:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I put those on a new Disamb page. -Fnlayson 18:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Opening Crawl Differences
All movies have 2 sentences in the first paragraph except RotJ has 1 sentence and RotS has 4 (if War! is counted). All movies have 1 sentence in paragraphs 2 and 3. I've noted this in talk for all movies. -- anon, I'll register if I post again. 12:20 EST, December 28, 2006
 * That'd something to put in trivia or similar. That doesn't seem like it is worth adding to me though. -Fnlayson 18:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

AT-AT
Okay in the beganning of the movie at the battle of Hoth at first it says that atat's armor is to strong for lasers but after it is crippled it is blow up by one shot.? Lord Titze the Dark Wanderer 03:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC) Does the atats on battle front 2 count because those took a lot of charged up shoot form the dish shaped guns on battle front 2 Lord Titze the Dark Wanderer 03:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * They hit a weak spot in the AT-AT's neck. The spot was more exposed with it on the ground. -Fnlayson 03:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
