Talk:Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet

Why is this in "Government" and "Imperial organizations"? --SparqMan 15:04, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I didn't see an "Imperial positions" category and resorted to putting it under 'government' since the Supreme Commander chairs the Imperial Council of Moffs. Honestly, though, I had hoped someone would come along and correct this since I wasn't exactly sure where to categorize it.--SOCL 15:18, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * My mistake, I thought that 'Government' was a category that consisted of government-related positions, forms of government, and the like; I hadn't realized it was soley individual governments of individual states.--SOCL 15:20, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Was Thrawn Supreme Commander
Just a quick question: there seems to be canonical evidence for both Vader and Luke as Supreme Commander, but I can't find any official references to Thrawn's appointment. I thought I remembered something saying the Moffs appointed him before Bilbringi, but nothing that I can see. --McEwok 22:13, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, in the Thrawn Trilogy and comic book adaption, it seems that he is in command of the entire fleet. I'm pretty sure he held the position. So, I re-added Thrawn's name. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 00:17, 9 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Canon Evidence for Luke as Supreme Commander
The anonymous 200.125.40.5 (apparently an IP in Uraguay) seems to have a bugbear about the title of "Supreme Commander", since he edited both this and the Vader article. I don't know what the source is for Vader (or, for that matter, what the source for the claims on the "Executor" title is), and I'll put off re-editing until someone answers that; but the title is canonical for Luke: Inform Supreme Commander Skywalker - Commander Klev, Dark Empire, #3, fifth comic page. Repeated in the graphic novel (53rd comic page), and in the Radio Drama. --McEwok 19:45, 11 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, Luke and Vader were both Supreme Commanders. How can you tell? Well, let's take what Palpatine said to Luke in RotJ: "...take your father's place at my side." Now, as we all know, Palpatine wanted Luke as his apprentice due to Vader's limitations. But, as we find out in Dark Empire, Luke is given his father's position as Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet (or, Forces). That's enough evidence right there to prove Vader and Luke were Supreme Commanders. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 19:48, 11 Sep 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is indeed an IP from Uruguay. It was me who made the anynomous edits; I forgot to log in. I had always thought the title "Supreme Commander Of The Imperial Fleet" had not appeared in Star Wars literature until Pellaeon was newly introduced as such. I apologise for any inconvenience I might have caused. --Ace ETP 20:11, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)


 * Quite all right!! Some people have been editing pages I've contributed to with naked IPs (sometimes the edits are quite right, sometimes IMHO with less justification), so I hope you can forgive me the paranoia - spelling your country's name wrong is far worse, so let me apologize for that!! And strictly speaking, there's no canon evidence for the "of the Imperial Fleet" part until Pellaeon - assuming, that is, that Pellaeon is actually ever accorded the title himself; do you have a canon reference? Thanks! --McEwok 21:39, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, Luke and Vader did have the "of the Imperial Fleet(or Forces)" added onto "Supreme Commander". Cmdr. J. Nebulax 22:46, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Good, so everything's clear now. It seems Nebulax has found a reference, which is great, because I wouldn't have been able to: not having read the Hand Of Thrawn books, all I was adding in my edits were mostly assumptions I had drawn from reading other articles in this encyclopedia, so I still should be the one apologizing the most, McEwok. And I don't really mind your mispelling of my country's name, but if you were going to do that, couldn't you have done it in that specific much more obvious, much more funny way?...Quote Homer Simpson (while holding a globe and looking at South America): "U-R-Gay. Haha". --Ace ETP 23:12, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
