Ep IV appearance
How do we know from that the YT-2400 appearing in Ep. IV is the Outrider itself and not just any YT-2400 freighter? 62.74.9.180 22:34, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * The databank link says so. -- Silly Dan  22:37, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

And so does George Lucas. - Anym

Copyvio problems
Much of the History section is OK, but the layout and modifications is a straight copy. I've used the introduction and infobox as a start for a replacement article in the temp page. Silly Dan 22:48, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

New Article Started on temp page
 * Yes, that's what I said. Silly Dan 01:49, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Propose deleting this page and moving new article written on temp page here.
 * You would need to sign such a post, and start the process by adding the tag to the article, but in this case vfd is not needed, as the copyrighted text can simply be replaced with non-infringing text.--Eion 18:14, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Anyway, if I understand the copyvio procedure, we're supposed to wait seven days after the initial listing. I think the Outrider/Temp page is OK now, though, and we could move it to the main article page anytime. Silly Dan 20:52, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm unfamiliar with any time constraints, I think if we have a non-infringing version ready, it should be edited in ASAP.--Eion 04:44, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The less time spent with an illegal page, the better off we are. jSarek 05:12, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * OK -- have put the temp page at the main article page. Silly Dan 12:14, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ep IV Pic
Can anyone get a screenshot of its appearance in the ANH SE? Kuralyov 20:48, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Outrider and rotating swing-arm mechanism (somewhat like the B-Wing fighter?)
I could not help but notice that the toy model of the Outrider produced for the Shadows of the Empire project has the main hull that separates from port to stern with a rotating swing-arm mechanism (somewhat similar to what the B-Wing does). Images can be found here. The Secrets of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire book (see pages 196-197) has two sketches of the Outrider spinning in this fashion made by LucasArts conceptual artist Doug Chiang, so this Outrider mechanism was not an invention of Hasbro/Kenner toy company.

What are your thoughts on the Outrider's "pivoting action" (as labelled by Doug Chiang) - should this feature be included in the article or should it be ignored as non-canonical BS?

Outrider Stats
I didn't know if anyone would want to put this up on the site article or not? We were talking about putting something like this up for the Slave 1 article and I found this on the same site while looking for a Slave 1 stats picture. I figured if you wanted to add it, then you could save it to the Wookieepedia images and add it to the article. Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 04:46, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd say put them on if there's room.Bredd13 19:54, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Picture
Main picture isn't showing up. Bredd13 19:54, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Might have something to do with it being named Eu_bg.jpg, the same name that all pics are given in the SW Databank.Toasty McGrath 18:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Replaced it with Image:Outrider.jpg. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 21:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Lego Outrider?
Should it be mentioned that the Star Destroyer Lego Model's alternate form is the Outrider? I know it probably shouldn't be added but was just wondering.Shifter 23:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
