Forum:SH:Film Background Character names

My recent attempts to preemptively save the Vizam canon article before it's purged for only being sourced to Star Wars in 100 Scenes led to a conversation with Leland Chee on twitter where he stated that the best method with film background characters is to assume that their names haven't been changed until there is evidence otherwise, as the case where they're going to be changed is few and far between. Since we already assume that species and vehicle names are unchanged based on tweets he made previously, I wanted to float the idea here of us doing the same for film characters. So far the only characters I can think of whose names have changed out of the hundreds that have been made canon so far are Newland and Blanaid, and these changes were made pre-story group anyway in 100 scenes, mostly likely because their previous name were just those of the people playing them. The conversation can mostly be found here. Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:36, June 20, 2017 (UTC)
