Talk:Lightsaber duel/Legends

Palpatine was defeated?
I don't see how he was defeated. He purposely lost in order to have Anakin confront the situation and make a decision. It is fairly obvious. T3hcho53non3 02:49, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Whether he purposely lost or not, he still lost, and therefore was defeated. -- Doo Doo 02:52, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Palpatine vs. Yoda

 * Was it a draw or a defeat for Yoda? He did give up and flee. I think if they both couldn't fight any longer, it would be a draw.--Darth Oblivion 16:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Defeat. Otherwise he would not have run. .  .  .  .  01:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

EU material
Can someone please add in all of the EU duels? I've tabalised the film duels, but the EU stuff needs to be in there. We don't want to be movie purists, do we? . .  .  .  01:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

We should have EU duels, but not all of them, as their is simply too many of them. Darth A*skicker 20:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Not a problem for this site. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:24, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Listing
Because we are soon to be adding EU duels, how should we list battles?

My idea -

Old Republic era duels

Rise of the Empire era duels

Rebellion era duels

New Republic era duels

New Jedi Order era duels

Legacy era duels

Infinitie era duels

 * Is this article going to be in-universe? Because if so, than it should be chronological, without movie/EU divisions. -LtNOWIS 06:21, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it should be in-universe and therefore chronological. What does everyone else think? Grunny (Talk) 06:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I vote for in-universe. None of this film/EU breakup. -- Doran 20:07, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This page is just usseles! --Themelle444 18:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, there shouldn't be two sections. .  .  .  .  23:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it should remain divided. easier for alot of people, but i gotta say it's gonna make the movies look pretty tame after a while. as to to the useless comment, we need more pages like this cutting to the meat and potatoes of duels rather than more long and drawn articles spoiling the whole story. Darth Depressis
 * We also need to keep an in-universe perspective, so a timeline makes far more sense than a films vs. EU list - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 23:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Maul vs. Darsha
Why is that listed under "Duels in Star Wars films"? It was in a book. -- Doran 20:02, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind, if we're going to combine the lists anyway. -- Doran 20:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Expansion
Right, so I expanded the EU material a little bit. I won't merge it with the film stuff until a consensus is come to. I accidentally deleted the entire beginning, as well as the film stuff for a few seconds, but I restored it. Sorry about that. If anybody thinks the Conclave on Kessel information is a little superfluous, feel free to reduce it. I'm bad at summaries. -- Doran 21:21, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Revan vs. Bastila
Should this be included there? I mean the one where they fight atop the Rakata temple. Yes, or is it too minor? Skywalka 23:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

when was this? is it a dark side mission. Darth Depressis14 January 2007


 * It is just before you go to the Star Forge... Did they fight, or do I have bad recall? Also, talking of battles involving Revan, what about him vs. Juhanni? Skywalka 04:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they fought, and Bastila ran off. I would think if we've got Yoda vs. Dooku, than we should have that one too. -LtNOWIS 07:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't the time when they fought on the Star Forge be on there, too? -- Yoshi  626 [[Image:Yoshiegg.jpg|20px]] 07:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I added the duel between Revan and Bastila, as well as the one between Revan and Bandon. I think that one was significant enough. When you think about it, the articles missing a lot of duels. Revan and Juhani, Ulic and Sylvar, etc. should we slap some form of stub on the article? Also, should it really be in the Films category?-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron[[Image:Oldsith.png|20px]] 07:45, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Outcome
Can we please leave it simple, like I did for the Movie Duels? This is supposed to be for reference, not a description of the whole fight. . .  .  .  07:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Article Structure
Why is this simply a list of lightsaber duels? I understand a section referring to and/or listing famous duels in different eras, but a comprehensive list of every lightsaber duel ever held would be almost impossible to make. The article should focus more on the importance of them, a little bit on the style, etc. 137.99.184.148 03:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It is a list of duels because that is what the article's about. In fact, shouldn't the title say "List of Lightsaber duels?"  Many other articles have the "List of" in front of it.01:36, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Streamlining and Standardizing
I would like to trim the titles (High General, Supreme Chancellor, Jedi Knight, Grand Poobah, etc) from the tables. It's only listed for some of them, it makes the whole thing cluttered, and it's off-topic and superfluous. If someone wants to know what title someone had, they can follow the link.

Speaking of which, I would also like to standardize it so that all the entries under the combatants, planets, and dates are links.
 * Please do. I don't understand the point of titles being here myself. QuentinGeorge 06:45, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Haruun Kal duels
Why is there no mention of Mace Windu's duels with Depa and Vastor described in Shatterpoint(novel)? 69.0.9.78 20:47, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
