Fett Canon Issue
"In the Kamino Uprising, Boba Fett makes a reference to hunting down Han Solo, which is inconsistent with the time period. This could be explained away by claiming he referred to another smuggler." Given Fett and Solo's shared histories, is this really contradictory? I seem to remember Solo and Fett having some run-ins during the Han Solo trilogy. Cutch 19:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, now that I looked, it seems Fett & Solo met after 12 BBY. So, I guess my question is, how do we know the uprising took place at that time? Cutch 19:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Problem
For some reason, I can't see the archives. If it could be fixed somehow, I'd gladly appreciate it. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:38, 21 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Never mind. I can see them now. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:38, 21 Dec 2005 (UTC)

The battle takes plae approx. 20 yrs after the creaton of the 501st clones, coherent with the time period when jabba would have issued the bounty

Canon
Just to remind everyone, only missions in the Rise of the Empire mode are canon - Instant Action levels are not canon. Hence, there's no Battle of Dagobah or Second Battle of Polis Massa - Kwenn
 * Hopefully this will stop Ty from screwing up this Wikicity, again. Admiral J. Nebulax 17:11, 26 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, the canon rule is as long as it doesn't contradict with other sources, it's canon. Battles from Instant Action that don't contradict with anything are canon.-Bly1993 22:50, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, no. Instant Action battles are ones that someone selects to play. They don't exist, except inside the game. Therefore, since they never took place in-universe, they are not canon. Admiral J. Nebulax 23:52, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Would BF1 instant action levels be canon? Most of them are real battles.--Bly1993 20:33, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * No. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:36, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe all, or at least most of, the items in the "Inconsistencies With Star Wars Canon" section are based on levels, characters and events in the Instant Action mode - to reiterate, that is not canon anyway - Kwenn 18:39, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * For the record Canon does not equate to things in the game related to game mechanics IE: Amount of troopers on the Tantative IV or B-2 droids are weaker in the game than in the movies. It seems to be unregistered people who post this though so i don't know what can be done Phillowe88 13:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I've got rid of a load of items, though even the ones I left on could still be considered gameplay mechanics - Kwenn 21:49, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't think we should include BF/BF2 stats in battle articles. X-wings and Y-wings in the fight between the Tantive IV and Devastator seems stupid to me. YIIMM 21:25, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

DVD-Rom Problem
It's not. K? 23:16, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The back of the game (Xbox version) case has the DVD-Rom logo, but when I put in in my computer it just plays a little XBox intro and then tells me that it is an XBox disc that needs to be put in the XBox system to play. I have a DVD-Rom drive. What is the point of saying DVD-Rom if it can't be used? The same problem happened for the first Battlefront as well. DarthMaul431 05:08, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I think all of the cases have the DVD-Rom logo. I'll have to check on that. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:58, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, Battlefront I and II are the only XBox games that I own that have those DVD-Rom logos. DarthMaul431 00:44, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I decided to send an e-mail to the LucasArts support website. Hopefully I should get an answer within the next two days. DarthMaul431 02:03, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I meant for all systems. Admiral J. Nebulax 02:06, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Just because it says DVD-rom doesn't make it PC compatible. It just means that the PS2/Xbox foratted discs were put on bigger, DVD discs. 23:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Please do not continue to debate this as it is a very simple and easy thing to figure out. If it would be able to work on the compy, it would say so.

Soldier Names

 * At the end of any battle, Story mode or Instant Action, Names of soldiers are listed. Should they be added as seperate though short articles?  Technically since the names are in a canon game, they are canon characters. DarthMaul431 02:35, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Battlefront II goes against canon. Those names were just made up for the sole purpose of the game. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:53, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not, the characters would be part of official continuity unless they either a) do something that goes against a non-game source, b) do something that is credited to a non-game character. VT-16 19:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You could create a mini-section in BF2 to show the names of all the people in each army, although I believe this to be a waste of time.

Title
This is very minor, but should this page Star Wars Battlefront II be moved to Star Wars: Battlefront II (title with a colon, currently a redirect) to match Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars: Battlefront III? --Xwing328 18:53, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * Good find and good idea. --Esplin 00:14, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. I'll move it right now. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:17, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * It has been done. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:18, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks --Xwing328 00:36, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:38, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Cheat Codes Not Working
Have you ever wanted to respawn over and over just because you couldn't get the cheat codes to work? I've figued out what the problem is! ... You see, when you start the first battle, it lets you enter one cheat code. Let's say I used inf. ammo. Then, if I want to use another one, I have to change anything in the game settings. Let's say I pause, go to game options and change my view to FP. I then would change it back (if I wanted to) after inputting the cheat.

---By the way, the JubJub cheat only works on the first Battlefront.

Um you can enter more than one code at the one time. Unpause the game then pause again and enter the next code. I frequently use Inf Ammo and Invincibility Phillowe88 07:19, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Republic Victory II frigate?
Does the Victory II-class frigate appear in the background in the Clone Wars space battles as well? VT-16 19:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC) No. If you go up close using the Inf. Health cheat, it is a low-res  Venator  class.

TIE fighter/interceptor missile inconsistency

 * TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors don't shoot missiles, so don't delete that under the "Inconsistencies" section. 'Nuff said. Cutch 17:35, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep.

Inconsistencies... how far is too far?
Okay, so how far is too far? The latest addition reads "Jango Fett carries one gun instead of two". But really, we could keep going with this forever: "Luke Skywalker never visited Mygeeto", "IG-100 MagnaGuards didn't participate in the defense of Kashyyyk", "B-1 Battle Droids are far too weak", "Yoda never really said 'Proper training you lack' when killing a stormtrooper". When are game mechanics - including the omission of (come on!) one of Jango's pistols - not seen as flying in the face of canon, but existing for simplicity? Cutch 01:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello??? The problem's getting worse... Cutch 19:51, 29 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I consider it the inconsistances to be when the directly go against the story and not game mechanics ( like x never visited planet y) I notice though that it's Anon's who add most of the stuff. Maybe change the section to inconsistances with the Star Wars canon story? Phillowe88 20:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Lord Almighty, thanks for the reply/edit. It seems like everyday some new bit of triviality gets added. Cutch 20:22, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll try to check it every second day or so to clean out any irrelevent facts, it's a bit of a pet peeve for me (adding useless info in the wrong place) Phillowe88 20:51, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Phillowe88, you still with me? The pandemic is growing; every idiot with a copy of the game is trying to find some triviality. Let's keep it big, people! Cutch 15:34, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry got saddled down with overtime at work. More money for me though. I'll keep an eye out although some updates don't appear even though i'm watching this. Phillowe88 16:45, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Heros: Darth Vader
Anakin Skywalker should not be named in the Heros section under Galactic Empire since he has become Darth Vader by this time. Rather, there should be a distinction between Vader with and without his armor. Here's how I think it should read:

-Darth Vader (without armor) (Force Choke, Saber Throw)—Mustafar -Darth Vader (with armor) (Force Choke, Saber Throw)—Tantive IV, Hoth, Dagobah, Endor, Bespin

or

-Darth Vader (Force Choke, Saber Throw)—Tantive IV, Hoth, Dagobah, Endor, Bespin (with armor); Mustafar (without armor)

Personally, I like the latter. Also, someone should think of a better way to describe the whole armor thing. With/without armor sounds kind of lame to me but it is all I could come up with.
