Talk:Mon Mothma/Legends

Succession Box
I'm not sure I understand the succession box that goes from Emperor Palpatine to Mon Mothma. Care to explain? --SparqMan 02:57, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * My logic on that is this: the New Republic replaced the Galactic Empire as the central galactic government, therefore Mon Mothma succeeded Palpatine as the head of the central government. The New Republic did not replace the Alliance&mdash;it simply made it no longer necessary. Notice, however, that the part of the box that acknowledges her as head of the Alliance also states that she succeeded herself as head of the new galactic government; the reason for this is simply that nothing else really applies. I'm not sure that I'm correct on this, and have been waiting eagerly for a discussion. I'd love to hear what others think. – Aidje talk 03:11, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I disagree. The Empire and the New Republic were different political entities. Palpatine was succeeded as ruler of the Empire by various warlords, Sate Pestage and eventually Isard and the council of Moffs. Palpatine should be taken out of the succession box here.

 * Another reason - the succession box is supposed to give an orderly navigation to the user, ie, one flows to the next. Since Palpatine's succession box flows to "various warlords", my point is made. QuentinGeorge 06:25, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Though I understand your reasoning, Aidje, I ultimately have to agree with QuentinGeorge's opinions on the matter. Even looking at it from a certain point of view, there still isn't a proper chain of succession, as opposed to Valorum-Palpatine-Pestage-Isard, or Mothma-Organa Solo-Fey'lya, which in both cases were handled internally instead of imposing a new government from outside.

 * Okay. I don't disagree with either of you. I couldn't think of a reason why she wouldn't be succeeding Palpatine, but the "Various Warlords" thing clears that up. As I said previously, I was just waiting for someone else to give me a reason; now that you have, I totally agree with you. You'll get no argument from me. It's all good. – Aidje talk 16:21, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The problem I see is that even at its peak, the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire and New Republic did not include thousands if not millions of inhabited systems. It seems strange to infer that the reins of the galaxy went from Palpatine to Mothma. --SparqMan 16:48, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Image
The new image in the info box is high quality, but we should try to find a good OT image of her, as that is what most fans will recognize. --SparqMan 14:22, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

ROTS image
Who keeps moving the ROTS image to the right? I've been moving it to the left to remove an unsightly gap in the article, so please stop moving it to back. -- SFH 21:39, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

An arbiter-general vs. the arbiter general?
The Databank describes her father as "an arbiter-general", not "the arbiter-general". Anyone know which is correct? &mdash; Silly Dan 03:00, 17 Nov 2005 (UTC)
