Ywing helmet image
How is the Ywing Helmet unnecessary? --Razzy1319 05:38, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Having an image of helmets is completely unnecissary because 1) it doesn't make the article any better, 2) it is too large, 3) there's no point for having it, and 4) it's probably fan-made. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:48, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * How does additional info make an article worse? point for having: to provide more information, which is why this wiki exists. If the rogue squadron handbook is fan-made, then can I call you a monkeys uncle? --Razzy1319 17:06, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * There is no reason to have a picture of helmets. That's just plain stupid. Admiral J. Nebulax 17:07, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I just gave you good reasons, your just to attached to "your" article to the point of flaming someone --Razzy1319 17:14, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * There is no good reason to put up a picture of a helmet on the Y-wing page. Helmets are for pilots, not their starfighters. Admiral J. Nebulax 17:16, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * they are specific for the Ywing alone, that makes them a vital component of the ship and its operations. --Razzy1319 17:20, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * The whole point of a wiki is that nobody owns an article. And if you would actually check the page history before making accusations like that, you'd see that his edits on this page have been fairly minor and always helpful. And he's right. The picture is out of place on an article about the fighter. In fact, I can't think of any article it would be good for, unless you want to write one about fighter pilot uniforms. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  17:26, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Darth Culator. Admiral J. Nebulax 17:42, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Uh...I always thought that ALL (X-wing and Y-Wing) the Rebel pilots shown at Yavin had the same helmet, just with different stuff painted on them.Commander Mike 02:22, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sort of. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:19, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Bomber
Is the Y-wing's use of proton bombs in virtually all of the Star Wars video games canon? 69.201.196.66 22:57, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * In the games, IIRC you can load proton bombs on any fighter with warhead launchers. Even an A-wing. I haven't seen a case of Y-wings using any type of missile other than proton torpedos in other sources. 68.47.234.131 00:40, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it is a bomber, so I suppose so. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 00:42, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * And I don't think it uses any other missiles, unless someone in the Rebel Alliance/New Republic/Galactic Alliance tried using something else. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 21:32, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Predecessor to the Y-Wing
What fighter/bomber came before the Y-Wing?
 * Uh, none that we know of. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Crew
The Y-Wing usually has only one pilot so should the article say the co-pilot/gunner is only there in a variation of the ship? Besides where in the movies do you see a Y-Wing with more than one person in it?
 * Canon says that some Y-wings have one pilot and one co-pilot/gunner. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

The Golden Days
Everything I see on the Y wing always talks about it as old and outdated. However, the Star Wars universe expands over a great length of time... starting in the prequils, I presume, from long before it even existed. I love Y Wings. They're my favorite out of the series. And I've always wondered... if they're still useful even after they've become quite old and outdated... How powerful were they when they were the new kid on the block? I'd love to hear about what they were like compared to their competition in their own day. How did they come to be the standard? 24.23.231.54 23:45, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't believe that's ever been talked about in any source, but I believe they were in use by the Republic during the Clone Wars. I assume that that's when they were brand new. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:47, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
