X-wing Alliance articles
I hope you don't mind if I put up images for the articles you're working on. I can extract them and convert them to optimized PNG files pretty efficiently, but I can stop if you plan to put them up yourself. &mdash;Darth Culator  (talk)  20:31, 20 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I may have eventually added images to the articles, but feel free to upload some yourself. Glad to see someone else is interested in info from that great game! --JMM 20:34, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a great game up until the final mission... flying the Falcon in the Battle of Yavin's just not right :-P KEJ 20:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi there pal. Please let me know of the X-wing mission articles you have made so far. I have added the majority of ships appearing in the game (Freighter names etc) MoffRebus 06:29, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I haven't made any articles based on the missions in X-Wing Alliance, only many of the characters and items from the game. I've added an article based on the original X-Wing game (Rescue at Mon Calamari). I'm not sure if I'll do more, but I did add some characters and ships. There may be more to come, though. --JMM 18:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for helping out with the Battlefront names list: I was just asking for help in TFN's videogames forum when you started adding to the list! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. All I had to do was quickly finish one mission, and just took screen grabs of the list of names at the end. I'll leave the list of Clone Troopers (Omega 324, etc.) to someone else. :) Those are all from BF2, by the way. --JMM 02:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, I'm deleting Brac Hollix per your findings. Thanks for checking! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 15:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Great! I'm sort of taking it upon myself to clean up these fighter squadron and pilot pages. Something about them seems to attract fanon. --JMM 15:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Star Tours
Thanks. :) Adamwankenobi 21:36, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Congrats!!!
Congrats on being published in WTS! I loved the link to Anwis Eddicus, and also to Palpy's listening devices... it's very Delta Source. You nailed it! --Azizlight 22:52, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I was really happy to see that appear there. And also happy to see how quickly it was added to the Wookieepedia. From the time stamp, I think it was on here before I even found out mine was chosen. --JMM 18:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Inq templates

 * Please do not remove the FAremove template from articles, even if you've addressed the issues. The Inquisitorius will convene and decide the article's fate. Until then, the notice should remain there. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 21:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoops. I had thought the decision was all ready made to leave it. --JMM 21:44, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Gamer
I like the citation template you made. Nice work. I'll implement is as I see it needed. --Eyrezer 00:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I've also created one for the Star Wars Galaxy mag, and one for Marvel comics, using the specific story titles and issue numbers: Template:Galaxy; Template:Marvel --JMM 02:27, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Not so sure I like the Marvel one. Maybe because I've just gone through 20 issues changing them one way! --Eyrezer 03:03, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * At the moment, the Marvel one seems to have two links to the same article. As there isn't multiple OOU articles or stories in each issue, I'm not sure that a template is necessary. If it had a logo, that could be cool but otherwise, might be superfluous. --Eyrezer 07:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hm. You may have me there. I wasn't really thinking the point of the Template being used for a book with multiple stories in it. But I guess I just like the idea of listing the issues by the story title first, and then the issue number. Maybe it may make for good discussion elsewhere? --JMM 12:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Also... I figured the template also gives as a standard way of citing the Marvel comics. Some write the issue number only, others do the full length title. Plus, I like the way it looks, too. :) --JMM 14:04, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol. I've also been working in the last few days to standardize the Marvel citations.Unfortunately I started from 107 and worked my way backwards, otherwise we would have seen we were working in different directions earlier (I've done from 107 through to 75). I've been changing all the links to point straight to the comics pages rather than through redirects. Currently the comic issues are at Star Wars 106: My Hiromi, Star Wars 107: All Together Now, etc. I definitely prefer this over the "Marvel Star Wars 107: All Together Now". My explanation may seem odd, but it seems more self-confident, like the Marvel comics don't need to be self-conscious about being from Marvel (They are no longer marginalized! Wahoo!)
 * As to comparing your format to the one I've been changing them to, I think they are a lot closer. I probably still prefer the number first, but that is only personal I guess. --Eyrezer 00:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I liked that change. After all, the comics' actual title is "Star Wars". I've also added redirects from "Star Wars 97", instead of the previous "Marvel Star Wars 97". I even added redirects for the story titles, too. I figure someone may want to look up "The Third Law", etc. And no, there's no reason the Marvels should be looked down upon. Especially now, after what we've seen Lumiya get involved with and be responsible for in the Legacy novels. --JMM 01:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * So with the Marvels, are we sticking with the Star Wars 107: All Together Now format? --Eyrezer 01:35, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I don't think they really make a whole lot of sense. I'm going to get rid of the template where it's been used and maybe mark it for deletion. --JMM 13:27, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Dash Rendar's Hoth screenshot
Please provide a source for the image you uploaded about Dash Rendar fighting on Hoth. - TopAce (Talk) 11:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I forgot to add that info. It was an official shot from a website that I saved, but I can't seem to find the image again to confirm it. I'll have to do some more searching. --JMM 18:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Uploading images
Hi. When uploading images, please make sure you put the Information template on the page. It saves someone else having to do it at a later date. --Eyrezer 00:26, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Would it possible to upload a version of this with the rest of the body of the green guy to the left included? I tried but my pic was of a much lower quality. --Eyrezer 04:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Ace's portrait
Hi... I really wonder how did you make up the portraits of Ace Azzameen for his article. MoffRebus 12:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I only added one of those pictures. The one of Ace in his Rebel gear wasn't me. There are points in the game when you're sitting in the hangar bay before taking off for a mission. When you're there, you move the "camera" around and get different angles and views. One view let's you zoom in pretty close, and when you do that, you can see Ace sitting there. That's where I got the screen grab from. You may be able to do this during missions, too. The only problem is those pictures are kind of weird and creepy looking. :) Maybe some day we'll get a proper portrait of him. --JMM 12:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Star Wars Finest
Hey, I was looking at Pellaeon, and you uploaded an image called Pellaeon_Finest but didn't give a source. Another image of Jaina you uploaded called Jaina_Finest you sourced as from "Star Wars Finest" but Wookieepedia doesn't have an article on that. Could you confirm exactly what that source is and maybe create an article on it? They're good images and I'd hate to lose them. Thanks. Havac 03:32, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Star Wars Finest was a card set put out by Topps in the '90s. I did notice there was no article for it. I may add one in the future. --JMM 12:08, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks. Havac 17:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Star Wars: Adventures in Colors and Shapes
Hey JMM, I saw you created the Star Wars: Adventures in Colors and Shapes article, and was hoping that if you have the book accessible to you, you might be able to tell me in what context wampas are mentioned so that I may add it to that page if it's significant enough. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

A Guide to the Star Wars Universe (third edition)
Hey JMM, I was going to help with the article mentioned above but it is being revised. Can I help?-- Darth Skirata   ( Talk ) 17:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * While I was the last one to work on the article, I didn't put the "under revision" tag on there. I think it was Darth Culator who added it. --JMM 20:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll ask him.--  Darth Skirata  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk ) 01:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Weird request
Hey JMM, this might sound like an odd question, but do you wouldn't happen to have any of the old issues of that SWFA "magazine" would you? I was searching through the old versions of the SWFA site on sw-rpg.net, and saw that around 4 issues were made. Was there an earlier incarnation of the site on a different server? I know that some of the fiction and articles are on the current site, but is there some sort of text version of the early issues? I thought the TC discussion on Thrawn's rank, and the Rogues list were fairly intriguing, and I thought it might be interesting to see the earliest incarnation of it. Cull Tremayne 01:55, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Pretty much everything from the original versions of the site are on the new one. There may have been a few revisions here and there, but most things are intact. There are a handful of things that members had taken off the site, and usually had some good reasons to do so. But really, most everything is there now. --JMM 22:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Award
Hey, JMM. I just wanted to say good job and thanks for your hard work over the last few months with regards to the expansion that you've done on topics originating from the Marvel Star Wars UK line of comics. Keep it up. Cheers, Greyman  @wikiajanitor ( Talk ) 17:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Congrats JMM!! Purplegethos 17:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Andoorni Hui picture
Hey JMM. I've nominated Andoorni Hui for featured article consideration, and I wanted to mention in Behind the Scenes who illustrates Andoorni Hui in the Japanese X-Wing novels. I saw you put the picture up, so I thought you could check for me and tell me who the artist was?

Thanks!

-- Colinmcev 03:29, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

NaQoit, not NaQuoit
Hello there, JJM! I would like to ask where is "NaQoit" spelled "NaQuoit". Is it in the Dark Empire Sourcebook? I just checked Rebel Dawn and Dark Empire endnotes and both state "NaQoit". Since Rebel Dawn is newer source, I'd say it takes precence. Thanks. -- Darth Paulus  ( May the Force serve you well! ) 19:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the poster info
Thanks for finishing the "Official Poster Monthly" articles! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 21:14, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

GG3 image
Hey, JMM. While you're on a GG3 image uploading kick, can you grab the image of Chreeto the Defiant in the second edition's Freedom No More section? Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:47, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. There you go. I added a quote to the page, too. --JMM 17:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:09, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Uploading images
Please put the licensing tag for images IN the template, not with a separate heading beneath it. Thanks. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 18:09, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * For most images, I've chosen the licensing info from the drop down box below. Is that not the way to do it? --JMM 18:31, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that is kinda confusing. No, the best way is to just not touch the drop down menu. And put the licensing tag (ie, , , , etc)) directly into the template with the rest of the information. Or, if you prefer, you can use the drop down menu, but once the image is uploaded, then move the licensing template up into the image information template and delete the ==Licensing== heading. But that just seems like more work to me. Hope that helps. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 18:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, wanted to thank you for all your help and contributions to my favorite project, the Marvel index;) There are so many comics, and I haven't even finished indexing the first two volumes, so I really appreciate you hleping "from the other end" of things (ie, the latter volumes) especially! cheersJustinGann 16:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Have to make sure the Marvels get some respect!--JMM 16:37, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

SWFA's official friendship with Wookieepedia
Hey, JMM. I'm told that the Star Wars Fanboy Association is part of your webspace. Currently, the SWFA is listed and linked to under Wookieepedia's official friends box on the main page, but the SWFA does not link back to Wookieepedia in return. As a result, some users have discussed removing SWFA from Wook's official friends here. Personally I think the friendship would be good to maintain. Would it be possible for you to add Wookieepedia to the SWFA's "Friends & Affiliates" section, or to raise the issue with other members of the site? That would appease those looking to end the friendship. Cheers, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 17:02, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm surprised none of us thought of that! A Wookieepedia link will appear on our site soon. --JMM 18:16, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Great! Cheers. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 18:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Venka
Hey JMM. I saw that you added the Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook to the Source list of the Venka article, but I can't seem to find any mention of him in there. I was hoping you could direct me to this information. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:24, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking back, I believe Kallic is mentioned in the Shadows sourcebook. That's why that source is listed. --JMM 01:52, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * All right, thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:57, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Narra
That's what I was looking for with Narra - thanks. I wanted to leave the transparency on the image, but the purple background looked terrible. Fortunately I was foresighted enough to stop after one image and wait for someone else's take on it, so now I'll keep at it. - Brynn Alastayr 20:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Outer Rim sector images
I would like to thank you for uploading all those individual sector images from the recently released Outer Rim sector map. It's really mind blowing isn't it? --  Riffsyphon  1024 01:17, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * It'd be nice of we get more of the same for the other regions.--JMM 01:24, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Stubs
When creating new stub articles, please do not forget to provide them with both eras template and a respective stub template. Thank you.  Mauser  Comlink 14:15, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Please also note, that you should not put articles in any of the stub categories manually. Instead, you should add it to the general category ("Star Wars Authors" instead of "Author srtubs") and provide a prober stub template author-stub, that will automatically add the stub category. Thank you.  Mauser  Comlink 19:58, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * One more thing: categories Category:Artists and Category:Authors are reserved for fictional In-universe characters. For real world people use Category:Star Wars artists and Category:Star Wars authors instead. Also, please remember to add to the top of each out-of-universe article.  Mauser  Comlink  16:12, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Whoops. I didn't even consider the difference. I imagine that mistake shows up on articles all over the site! --JMM 16:18, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Talk messages
Please make sure to archive your old talk messages, rather than just removing them, so they may be kept as part of the public record. Toprawa and Ralltiir 16:40, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Either you can't read or you choose not to. So I'll ask again and I'll repeat the same "heads up" we afford every user in your situation. Please do not just remove old talk messages from your talk page, especially messages that involve warnings, such as this one. They should be archived as part of the public record. If you need help archiving, look no further. This is pretty basic stuff, so I expect to see you take care of this. Thank you for your cooperation. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:39, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, this time it wasn't me. Some vandal thought it was funny to remove everything off of this page. Another user was kind enough to revert that edit before I had a chance to. --JMM 18:42, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I'm referring to the edits you made originally to remove talk messages prompting me to notify you about this in the first place, which you still have made no effort to replace. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:51, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh! OK. Sorry, I didn't realize I should have been trying to retrieve the old ones. --JMM 18:58, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * I would appreciate if you did, and remembered to do so in the future. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:00, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * There we go. All back to normal. All warnings and suggestions now filed away for future reference! :) --JMM 19:13, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Appearances
Please make sure you add an "Appearances" or "Sources" section to each new article you create. Otherwise they will be deleted. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:22, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Yoda Stories
According to this article, scenarios in Yoda Stories are generated randomly. The articles Cebann Veekan and Myhr Rho support this and indicate that the charatcers from the game are the characters from Holiday Special, not their lookalikes. Please update and redirect the articles you create accordingly.  Mauser  Comlink 17:18, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Some characters in the game do appear randomly, but others appear multiple times on certain planets. I was thinking that at least some of these characters can be created, then marked as ambiguous -- though I admit I forgot to add those tags. But that's a separate issue... in any case, though the two Wookieepedia articles may suggest those are the same characters, there's no official source saying that they are. And considering the many identical alien characters out there (how many guys in the same Greedo outfit do we have out there?), I wouldn't think we should consider these the same characters simply based on common appearance. --JMM 17:55, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * But multiple appearances are not a problem, since it's all non-canon anyway.  Mauser  Comlink 18:06, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess the randomly generated characters should maybe be skipped. But I'd suggest that any characters who are in the same place at the same time in the game, always, could deserve their own entry. Certain characters are in the same cantina or some trading post every time. --JMM 18:14, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * That is okay, but they should be included in the articles for Holiday Special characters anyway.  Mauser  Comlink 18:22, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Thanks
No problems. Little vandal account problem that was easily dealt with :) Makes me wonder why they even try sometimes. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 18:40, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Right. And honestly, the comments on my talk page aren't the most vital of information, anyway! :) --JMM 18:43, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Merchandise Wiki
Please pay a little mind to creating articles that belong on the Star Wars Merchandise Wiki rather than Wookieepedia. Star Wars Mpire, for example, has been deleted by the community because the subject is purely "merchandise" in nature and has no inherent canonical value. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:08, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I should point out that all of these were just existing listings on the Hasbro page here, with the page tagged as needing to be separated. I would suggest that the existing action figure collection pages should stay, but maybe a few of the "Other toy lines" listed on the Hasbro page could be removed and their links replaced with links to the merchandise Wiki. --JMM 19:12, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just because something exists on this wiki doesn't mean it's necessarily worth anything. Toy line articles, specifically, go widely overlooked, so it figures that there is a bunch of crap. Some toy line articles do deserve a place on this wiki, ones that have actual canonical information and value, as I have stated. Several of the articles you have recently created do not fit this criteria, I'm afraid. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:15, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. I would say the regular action figure lines do have some place here, since they are occasionally the source where canon info is revealed. Like naming some astromechs, etc. I think I may edit things a bit and make some of those new, little articles sections in the Hasbro article again. --JMM 19:18, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I fully agree. Articles like Star Wars: The 30th Anniversary Collection or one of our FAs, The Epic Continues, are nice examples of mainline toy lines with canon info. I would say use those as the standard for deciding what deserves an article. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:24, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * So, should I CSD Star Wars Transformers now?  Mauser  Comlink 19:25, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe give me 30 minutes on these... :) --JMM 19:27, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Another suggestion is any that were redlinked on the Hasbro page, like Star Wars Mpire, could still be listed in Hasbro page, but rather than linking to an article here, link them to the SWMerch wiki instead. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 19:32, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I like that option, but the short blurbs I have on the Hasbro page now can still stay, I think. If any separate articles are made on the other Wiki, the titles can link there. The page looks a bit less messy now, so having a little info is good, I think. --JMM 19:40, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Bubo by Hasbro
Hey, JMM, good work on the Hasbro pages! I'm trying to figure out which toy line this action figure pack belongs to so I can add it to the frog-dog page (it's significant as one of the few sources that provides a 360-degree view of the species). Rebelscum.com has it listed as part of the "Ultra Figures," but I don't see that listed on the Hasbro page. Is this part of some other line, then? Thanks, ~ SavageBob 17:19, January 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * From Rebelscum's photos, the packaging of the set is the same as the other "Saga" figures. It looks like the Ultra Figures are just like a subset of figures packaged with some other accessories. But it is strange that term isn't written on the package anywhere. Maybe that's just what Hasbro called it for the sake of retailers, etc. --JMM 17:38, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Forgotten War
Hi. I hope this message finds you well.

I finally got to read your post on the talk page for Alliance of Free Planets. Thank you for responding. Alas, my subscription to Hyperspace lapsed quite a while ago and I do not have access to go read your article, which I missed. Therefore, I don't know how you explained the idea of Marvel issue #s 81 - 106 all occurring within a single month, along with the events of Truce at Bakura. What an incredibly busy month. I would be very interested in finding out.

Anyway, I have done my own timeline work and found it very challenging to do, even adopting the 7-week-long month model that was established as a standard. I still ended up intermixing Marvel with Rogue Squadron Comics for the better part of the year. My admittedly fanon explanation was that the Alliance of Free Planets was more akin to the interim governing body of the fledgling New Republic and therefore, more like the parent of the New Republic Senate. So about a week after Endor, the Alliance of Free Planets is formed more as a counsel from which to forge the New Republic, itself formally declared a month later. But the AoFP would act as a Legislative body in the New Republic until about a year later when the New Republic Senate is solidified. So references to both the AoFP and NR could overlap without being a contradiction. Again, it's all fanon, but since you've worked on the subject as well, it occurred to me that you might find it interesting.

Thank you, Medleystudios72 00:00, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Dash Rendar image
Hey. Any idea where this image came from? Cull put the SotE game as the source but I can't find it in either version. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:39, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looking around at Youtube clips from both versions, I can't really find the image either. But I definitely remember it from back in the day. I'm starting to think this was some promotional online or magazine image that never made it to the game. But I do know it's from some official source. --JMM 15:07, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Can't find it on the archived product page from LucasArts.com. I've taken it out of the article until we can find the source. Green Tentacle (Talk) 23:22, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

IP address
Are you 75.54.240.60? I noticed that IP address next to your username on the RC page. Also, if it is, could you by any chance find out where the Main Title appears in those tracks, as in what time it starts. If you're not that person, then don't worry about it. Master Fredcerique Begun the Clone Wars has † 14:21, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, not me. But I have often forgotten to log in and left behind an IP address instead, too. :) --JMM 14:29, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Star Wars Kids
Hey JMM,

Do you by chance have Star Wars Kids 11? If so, can you tell me what it says about Exar Kun's defeat over Yavin 4 please? Thanks, —Tommy 9281 18:22, November 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Don't have that one. --JMM 22:29, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Redirects
Hey, JMM, just to let you know, please be sure to properly link different Squadron links. For example: linking just Gold Squadron or Red Squadron will link to the disambig pages. What you could do is specify which squadron you're talking about by doing Gold Squadron. All the government-affiliated squadrons for Red, Gold, ect, are listed in the disambig pages themselves. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, and just wanted to let you know. :)  JangFett  (Talk) 16:04, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did notice the difference. For the recent page I edited, Blue Seven, I added this text that shows up in most of these call sign articles: "There were a number of starfighter squadrons with this name, and several beings went by the name Blue Seven." Since it's talking about the multiple Blue Squadrons, and not a specific one, a link to the disambig page made more sense in that case. --JMM 13:54, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Sarkli
Hey, I see you uploaded that pic of Sarkli as depicted in Threat of the Conqueror. I'm cleaning up his page right now and it needs to be updated; I can't find info pertaining to that TCG expansion, I was wondering if you had the material. Thanks. DjMack 05:45, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Hi JMM. I saw you added Ree-Yees to Star Tours' list of appearances. How do you know it's him? Is there a source for it? Cheers.  Stake black   msg 17:27, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I forgot to add a source stating it. The source is actually a box set of Star Tours action figures, the same one that includes Kaink the Ewok, who appeared in the ride's safety video. It specifically says that Gran is Ree Yees, and even ID's him as the one from Jabba's palace. Though you may have to consider it non-canon. I'll be sure to add that source. --JMM (talk) 17:36, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks! There are a couple of as-of-yet unidentified Star Tours workers that might be identifiable with this toy set. Would you mind having a look when you have the chance? Cheers.  Stake black   msg 17:43, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll be working on the Star Tours pages more. --JMM (talk) 17:51, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Star Tours spaceport image.
Hi.

About that image of the spaceport from Star Tours, where can I find it on the web? I'm thinking of doing some research and expanding that article. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 20:16, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Most of the images I've added to the different articles came from Youtube videos of the ride. There are actually two videos out there that look like they come from the original video source, and weren't just made by riders pointing a camera at the screen. --JMM (talk) 20:20, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay. BTW, speaking of image uploads, when are you going to upload any images relating to the fuel trucks, like the one Rex nearly crashed into at the end of the ride? Weedle McHairybug (talk) 20:21, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Believe it or not I already have an image ready. I just didn't have time to create the article. I'll be doing so soon. --JMM (talk) 20:23, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I kinda beat you to it. Fuel truck. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 20:24, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Haha, no problem. That works, too! I'll add a picture soon. --JMM (talk) 21:18, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Original Star Tours era
Just a note that the Battle of Death Star III, and thus the original Star Tours, takes place in the Rebellion era, not the New Republic era. The Rebellion era officially lasts until 5 ABY, and the date of the battle is 4.3 ABY. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Training Room 18:22, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * I seem to remember this coming up before. My basis on placing it there was that the New Republic was actually founded in 4 ABY, and about a month or so before the Star Tours incident. But I guess that may not be the same thing as the "era". --JMM (talk) 18:25, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Correct; the New Republic was founded 4 ABY, but despite that, the Rebellion publishing era technically goes to 5 ABY. A bit odd, I know, but that's the way it is, and we have to work with it. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Comlink 18:28, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Expanding the Incident above Coruscant article.
Hi.

Since you know about Star Tours far better than I do, I have a question regarding the Incident above Coruscant article. Can you expand it for me, and possibly rename it once all the facts are presented? I've watched the (albeit bad quality) video on Youtube regarding it, but I have absolutely no idea as to what's going on in the Coruscant segment. I don't know which sides were which (ie, were the Venators Rebel-owned or Imperial owned, and same question for the CIS-ships. I mean, it's obvious that it couldn't have been Old Republic forces or CIS forces during that battle, as the former had been abolished and reorganized into the Galactic Empire long by the time of the events of the ride, and the CIS was rendered completely defunct not only by Anakin's murder of the Separatist Council, but also by the Reconquest of the Rim by the Empire), or even if the battle was actually real (it also doesn't help that, despite there being a fleet battle overhead, not to mention at least one ship being sent down the atmosphere, the cityscape was acting oddly normal during the ordeal). This lack of knowledge regarding especially the latter is also why I named it "Incident above Coruscant (Galactic Civil War)", as I'm not sure if it's even a real conflict or not. Since you know more about the ride than I do, I thought you'd be in a better position to expand/rename the article to a better name. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 15:43, January 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can work on those. For some reason we've both got the idea to start expanding the article, so I'm happy doing it. I'll can eventually add some of the other events, too. There is definitely a problem making sense of the timeline and what we see in the ride. Obviously, the creators of the ride just wanted to drop the riders into scenes similar to the movies. I've looked at tons of the the material for the ride, and rode both versions a bunch of times. There's really little or no explanation of what's going on in those scenes. The Naboo and Coruscant events don't make all that much sense with the Trade Federation and CIS forces in them, or at least no one's come up with an explanation yet. Of course, all these scenes are in alternate versions of the ride. --JMM (talk) 15:59, January 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, although at least with Naboo, the N-1 starfighters were implied to be Rebel-owned. We literally have nothing with the Coruscant battle, and it's even stranger that despite their being a battle above Coruscant, the cityscape is acting like there isn't a battle and was just an ordinary day (or night, in this case). I mean, it might be a re-enactment of the Battle of Coruscant, similar to how in real life there are Civil War re-enactments of various battles, though that still doesn't explain why buzz droids attack the StarSpeeder 1000 at one point, either.
 * I also took care of the Geonosis scenario, as well. I'm not sure whether to create an article for the Kashyyyk scenario, though, as well as whether to create a new Boonta Eve Classic article relating to the Tatooine scenario. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 16:28, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

Chewbacca Star Tours source.
Hi.

You mentioned earlier that Chewbacca was the Wookiee who was sent flying onto the Star Tours 1000 shuttle in The Adventures Continue. Can you supply me with the source stating this? I haven't found anything regarding that in my own searches. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 13:57, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think it literally says anywhere that that specific character is Chewbacca, but it looks like him and sounds like him, and multiple Disney sources mention Chewbacca as one of the characters appearing in the ride. This site and this site list him as one of the characters. Since it's fairly obvious their intent is that the most prominent Wookiee you see is Chewbacca, I think that's definitive enough. --JMM (talk) 14:16, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

IM-series droids.
Hi.

I need to know whether the IM-series droid appeared in the series before (under that name or anywhere else)? THe DSS article indicated that the droids featured were already stated to have been made by other companies, yet trying to search for that droid proved virtually impossible. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 14:08, May 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Looking back, I think I spoke too soon. I think I was thinking of another droid, thinking that was an already existing one. I know that the G2 "Goose Droid" is made by SoroSuub Corporation, so I know that kind of can't be made by DSS. But I suppose the IMs can be a DSS design, but the G2 can't. --JMM (talk) 15:15, May 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Was that droid you were thinking of by any chance the Dark Eye droids used by Darth Maul? They do look similar, Mickey Mouse ear-esque sensor mounts nonwithstanding? Weedle McHairybug (talk) 15:17, May 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, thank you! That's the one. So it should definitely be considered a separate droid, though it has a similar design. --JMM (talk) 15:33, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

F-series edit.
Wasn't sure if it was fan made or actual info from the "Spot that Droid" poster, especially seeing that they worded the source in such a way that made it seem as though all the article contents did come from that poster. I kinda wish they made it a bit more specific, though. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 00:56, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
