More pic removal
I believe that several sections of the Anakin article are rather image-heavy. Now, for continuity's sake, at least one image per section/subsection etc. is just fine, but some of these sections have waaaay too many images. If others are in agreement, then may I suggest some images to be removed? If they are approved, I don't mind doing the moving/adjusting work myself, I don't mind at all, it's just that I'm not particularly keen on going overboard image-wise. -Solus 01:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. I've been saying this for some time. A good rule of thumb: No more than 2 pics should be appear on a "screen" at a time. QuentinGeorge 02:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hm, that's a pretty good rule. Never thought of that. Um, do any object to me showing the pics I think need to be removed? -Solus 02:11, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I object to the removal of pictures. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 03:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't. There such thing as image overkill - the images should serve the article, not vice-versa. .  .  .  .  03:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Jack, why do you object? Remember, this is an article. Text is the main focus of it. Pictures are merely used to support that text. If they distract from the article itself, they should be removed. QuentinGeorge 03:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Besides, if you want to see all of the pictures, you can look in the gallery. One image I think can go is Image:Ansion.jpg as you can hardly even see him in it.-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron[[Image:Oldsith.png|30px]] 04:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, ax it. .  .  .  .  04:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * All right. I'm sorry, Jack, but I am going to put up several pictures I think can be removed. We can discuss them here.

I know I'm being harsh here, but that's what discussion's for, right? -Solus 12:48, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The reason I objected is because there's no rule that says only a certain amount of pictures can be put in a single section. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm ok with taking out 3, 4, and 7.-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron[[Image:Oldsith.png|30px]] 16:40, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I know there's no limit to how many images you can insert per section. It, in all honesty, would be a silly rule. But for aesthetics' sake, some of the pics should be removed. It just doesn't look good when there are too many images. Do any have any objections to taking out images 3, 4, and 7? -Solus 18:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope. Darth Abeonis Sith Council (Sith Campaign) 19:30, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Uhm, for 7, I would prefer replacement - surely there's a good image of Vader in the SOTME graphic novel? .  .  .  .  20:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * So I don't count as an objection? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 4dot: I don't have the SOTME comic, so I wouldn't know. Nebulax: Of course your objection counts. I just don't know what you object to, specifically. What do you object to and why? Specifically, which images do you not want removed? I am not being facetious or sarcastic, I promise. I've read a lot of Talk pages and I respect you and your opinions. The only thing is you have not told us why you, personally, do not want certain images removed. -Solus 21:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think any images should be removed because they contribute to the article. They put the text into visual intereptations. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay. Seeing things that way, I understand why images 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 should not be removed: they give insight to the article that helps give the reader a visual and thus support the article. That makes sense. However, Image 3 is referenced in the article in the picture below it: in Image 3 it shows Anakin fighting Dooku using Form IV. In the next article image it shows Anakin who has won against Dooku using Form IV. Same fight, two different 'angles' (if you will) of it, right next to each other. It is redundant. My reason for getting rid of Image 3 instead of the other one is because the other one shows Anakin's mastery of Form VI because he is standing over Dooku's corpse: it shows the same thing as Image 3, except in greater detail. Image 9 is not in the Bio, but in physical appearance, and a Kentucky-fried Anakin is shown in the next image, in the same section. Also, grilled Ani is already shown in Duel on Mustafar and Aftermath. What I would do is get rid of crispy Anakin and move up the other burned-up Anakin, making it more spaced out and less cluttered. My reason for axing Image 8, is, not so much to get rid of it, but unless I move the 'Vader Redemption' pic up, which would not match the text, it does not fit in the section and looks sloppy. My reason for getting rid of Image 10 is, though it is one of my favorite pics, it crowds the Appearances section. The Infinities Vader looked better there, and Image 10 fits nowhere else. These are my reasons. I hope you understand why. Thank you for giving me a chance to see it from your point of view, I hope you can understand mine. -Solus 22:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The only image I support removing is #3. All the rest I say keep, my reasons are the same as J. Nebulax. - Impassioned Jedi 11:01, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess I have to agree with that. It's actually kind of blurry. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's fine with me. I don't mind removing just one, not at all. I was just going to leave this talk section to rot anyhow. Heh. If there are no objections, I'll ax it and adjust the images. -Solus 15:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Cyborg&mdash;infobox mention?
Okay, cyborg isn't a species. But after the Duel on Mustafar, Vader was, as Obi-Wan said, half man and half machine. Considering this, I believe it should be mentioned in the "Species" field of the infobox as it had been for a long time (without any issues, might I add, until now). Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 21:30, 12 November 2006 (UTC) Alright... here goes: "He is a borg who died last night. You know the term, I'm sure&hellip;. Half Human&hellip; half mechanical droid."
 * I can totally see where you're coming from. I just think that the fact that he's a cyborg doesn't change the fact that he's still Human. It's not like his brain was mechanized. --Imp 21:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it does still say that he's human. I always liked the fact that the infobox would tell you from the get-go they they're a cyborg. .  .  .  .  21:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * But how will you define cyborg? At what degree of mechanization do we add (cyborg) to someone's infobox? --Imp 21:36, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Imp, as Thefourdot said, Human is still there, and cyborg would be in paratheses. No one ever said that he wasn't Human. As for defining cyborg: When a being has a mechanical part in place of regular flesh. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * So Luke Skywalker is a cyborg, then? --Imp 21:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yup. .  .  .  .  21:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes indeed. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's ridiculous. Oh well, I'll let it slide for now. On the large-scale cyborgs (not Luke). --Imp 21:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Then let's here your definition of cyborg. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You can't just make concessions like "large scale" you either have to have it or you don't. .  .  .  .  21:48, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Excellent point. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:50, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Then we don't have it. Cyborg is not a species. As long as it's mentioned in the article (preferably in the opening paragraphs) it's fine. Consensus, anyone? - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 21:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * As said, cyborg is not a species, but it deserves to be mentioned in the infobox. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:52, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * There's two definitions of "cyborg", per the cyborg article. One referring to any person with a mechanized part, and the other referring to individuals who are "half-organic half-droid". I suppose I disagree with the first definition, and would like to see specific proof for it. =) --Imp 21:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I would like to see proof against it. At what point do you say "Oh no, he's more this than that. This is this. This is not something else. This is this." It's going to get violent, so let's try and sort this out quick-sharpish. .  .  .  .  21:58, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

- "Pera"

From Marvel Star Wars 7: New Planets, New Perils. --Imp 22:02, 12 November 2006 (UTC) "He is a borg who died last night. You know the term, I'm sure&hellip;. Half Human&hellip; half mechanical droid."
 * And at what point do we say that this is half a man, or this is 51% so it's not a cyborg. I'm sorry, it's too intangible for us to be able to keep it in check. .  .  .  .  22:04, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * When it's evident that the individual in question relies on mechanized parts for multiple body functions. --Imp 22:07, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, Anakin could use the Force to hover around...it's still not enough. .  .  .  .  22:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * This is ridiculous. I looked it up on the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, and the definition for cyborg there is simply "a bionic human". It doesn't say something like "to be a cyborg, you must be half man and half robot". Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. And just for fun, Marvel is S-Canon. .  .  .  .  00:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Besides, cyborg's where I wanted to be, so my goal of this topic has been achieved. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Additionally, people regularly use the term "half" very imprecisely, sometimes even as a synonym of "partly." jSarek 04:32, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Marvel is C-canon. 2) OOU definitions don't count. So far, you two haven't been able to cough up any IU proof. --Imp 06:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah-ah-ah, Marvel is S-Canon unless referenced by a C or G canon source. Chee said so. .  .  .  .  07:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I brought up this same point over at Talk:Darth Malak and I totally agree with Imp. "Cyborg" simply does not fit in the "species" field. "Species", in this context, refers to an individual's biological classification. As long as an individual retains some biological components, cybernetic enhancements simply do not change that individual's species classification. Even Grevious should not be classified as a cyborg. No matter how much he has been altered, he is biologically a Kaleesh. Perhaps we should add an "enhancements" or "cybernetics" field to the character infoboxes&hellip; – 07:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that would be best. .  .  .  .  08:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The fact that he had mechanical parts in place of organic parts makes him a cyborg, and that should be mentioned as it always was in the species field. Yes, it's not a species, but as of becoming a cyborg, Vader wasn't wholy Human. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Show me an official source that refers to a person with only one cybernetic enhancement as a cyborg. --Imp 13:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The New Essential Guide to Droids had a page on cyborgs that would probably clear this up. I'm at school, so I can't check it. -LtNOWIS 14:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Imp: Why are you so against using a real-world definition here? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Because there's an IU definition that doesn't match the real-world definition. Also, because I think putting (cyborg) in the species field is silly, as it has nothing to do with species. --Imp 22:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) What is this IU definition? 2) It has plenty to do with the species. When Anakin lost an arm, he lost a part of what made him Human. The mechanical arm replaced that, making him a cyborg. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

- "Pera"

That would be the IU definition right there. Also, are you implying people with prosthetics are less Human than people with all limbs intact? --Imp 22:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * First: That's only one person's view of the term "cyborg", not the galactic definition. Second: In a way, yes. They are still Human, but they have mechanical parts to make up for lost limbs and such. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * While it may just be one person's view, it's the only IU definition so far&hellip; Also, I deeply disagree with your stance on prosthetics. --Imp 22:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Just because it's the only IU definition does not mean it's the correct definition. 2) Why don't you explain how you deeply disagree with my stance on prosthetics? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) I am aware of that, and I'll back down the moment I see another IU definition. 2) Calling specific groups of people "less Human" just seems awfully familiar&hellip; like something these guys and supporters of this would say. --Imp 23:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the above was out of line. I just generally am opposed to such labelling. --Imp 23:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * By "less Human", I'm not saying that they're inferior. I'm just saying that the loss of a limb can make one physically less Human. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * So you are saying that whatever species a character is when they become a cyborg, they are still that species, only less so. Correct?Tocneppil 21:58, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

What the Hell? (Darth Vader's regency)
I'm a bit concerned by the archiving of current discussions. Actually, I'm very concerned. Anyway, Jack, we'll continue the Vader as Regent debate here. . .  .  .  06:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * My fault. Lord knows this page needed to be drastically shortened, though. Of course, only after did I realize I had archive an active topic. Sorry.-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron[[Image:Oldsith.png|30px]] 07:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's OK, it's just that it's this is the second time this talk page has undergone a complete overhaul in the last few days. This could have been avoided if someone hadn't dumped the contents of Talk:Anakin Skywalker and Talk:Darth Vader here after the merge. .  .  .  .  08:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * "Even so, Vader's regency deserves a mention...if not a succession box." I think a succession box is a bad idea, but how do you propose mentioning it? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Since Vader was next in line, as hinted to by Palpatine and stated by Vader in ROTS (since he wanted to kill him and take his throne), it should at least be mentioned in a short blurb that he technically was Emperor for the last few minutes of his life in ROTJ, just as Grievous was the leader of the confederacy for the last few days of the CW and then Nute Gunray or the entire Separatist Council in the few hours after his death. VT-16 20:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Still, five minutes shouldn't warrant a succession box. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:33, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * And I'm sure executing the sitting sovereign and rejecting all allegience to the man and, presumably, the Empire he founded is a pretty strong reason to think he gave up all claim to the position. jSarek 21:37, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah. He didn't want to be Emperor, so he wasn't. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No, since there was no Emperor at the time, he automatically became de facto Emperor. And how do you know it was five minutes? It could have taken an hour to get to the docking bay. At any rate he was acting Emperor for a short time, which does deserve some sort of succession box mention. .  .  .  .  08:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see how someone who abdicated all relationship with the Emperor, committed high treason by killing the Emperor, never issued a single Imperial directive as Emperor, was never recognized by anyone as Emperor, wasn't in the line of succession to Emperor (since there WAS no such line), and didn't survive long enough for people in the Imperial chain of command to even know he'd outlived the Emperor, could be regarded as Emperor, de facto or otherwise. jSarek 09:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Simple answer. He wasn't. Darth Abeonis Sith Council (Sith Campaign) 09:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Be that as it may, he was for the last half of SOTE. .  .  .  .  09:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No, he wasn't. Palpatine gave him the powers. He could have done the same for Tarkin. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah...regency. .  .  .  .  22:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Enough. You have no actual proof that Vader was next in line. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No, no, you misundertand me. jSarek's explaination and rationalising has made me accept that there is no "heir" structure to Palpatine's throne. However, he did have regency during the end of SOTE. Worth a mention, if not an infobox. .  .  .  .  00:32, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If you mean regency = giving his powers to Vader for a short time, then you're sadly mistaken, my friend. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Really. Give us your definition of regency. I'm dying to hear. .  .  .  .  00:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Stop acting like a smart ass, Thefourdot. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ditto. And take a look at this while you're at it. .  .  .  .  00:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * And again, just because Palpatine gave Vader his powers for a short time does not automatically make Vader Regent. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * A Person appointed to administer a State because the monarch is a minor or is absent or incapacitated. Palpatine at end of SOTE = Absent. Vader at end of SOTE = temporary ruler of the Empire. Vader at end of SOTE = Regent. .  .  .  .  00:51, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No, you miss the point. Vader was never canonically made Regent. Just because Vader was granted Palpatine's powers for a short time does not, I repeat, does not, automatically make him Regent. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thrawn was never canoninically made Emperor. Yet he is listed as a de facto Emperor. So, Vader would be a de facto Regent. .  .  .  .  00:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Touche. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It could easily be handled by an infobox. Like so: .  .  .  .  01:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I still say only a mention in the article, not an infobox. A couple of minutes doesn't warrant an infobox, in my opinion. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm talking SOTE here, as well as ROTJ. In SOTE, I believe it's a couple of weeks. .  .  .  .  01:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * But that would only make things a lot more complicated. It would be like this: Palpatine, Vader (de facto regent), Palpatine, and then Vader (de facto regent). Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yup. I'm willing to let the ROTJ thing go, but the SOTE thing is vital. .  .  .  .  01:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * But that still wouldn't really warrant a succession box. Palpatine was still alive, after all. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If you want to get technical, he was still alive when Thrawn was about. .  .  .  .  01:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * True, but at that time, no one knew he was alive. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Still, he "handed over" his powers to Vader for a short time. .  .  .  .  01:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Still, five minutes shouldn't warrant a succession box.
 * I read of a man the other day who recieved a medal for his service to our country and died five minutes later. That still means he got the medal and it was noted. Whether Vader wanted what he now got or not, isn't relevant. He was the next in line. VT-16 08:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Err, this is just silly. Vader died before being officially appointed, therefore he was never Emperor. --Imp 11:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Err, VT. Thats a really really bad example. The problem is, he was only Emperor for a few weeks at most (and even that is disputed by myself and others), a succession box really isn't needed. Darth Abeonis Sith Council (Sith Campaign) 11:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Perhaps a note saying he was possibly Regent, but nothing else. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, Thrawn never officialy took the title and he was in that position for what? A few months? .  .  .  .  22:25, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's completely different because Thrawn actually control a large portion of the Empire. Vader didn't even control a single soul. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm talking SOTE here, where Vader controlled the whole Empire bar Palpatine himself. .  .  .  .  01:39, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd still like to see a quote. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't have the book on me, but I believe there is a quote along the lines of "I rule the Empire now, Xizor, not Palpatine". But that may contain some wild paraphrasing. We need someone with the book. .  .  .  .  01:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * But even if Vader controlled the Empire for a short time in SotE, that's not enough for an infobox. When real-life rulers become sick, their regent doesn't actually take their position unless the current ruler dies. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Correct...they become a regent! .  .  .  .  01:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You missed my point. I only said that because the regent doesn't take their position while the current ruler is sick. I was only saying why there shouldn't be a succession box for Vader as Emperor. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, there should be something... .  .  .  .  01:56, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, a mention in the article. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I hope you don't think I'm being rude or anything, and, if so I apologize. But I own SOTE, and I've looked for the sentance to which 4Dot is referring. Here it is, between Vader and Xizor, starting with Vader:

"You have two standard minutes to recall your vessels and to offer yourself into my custody." "I will not. I will take this up with the Emperor." "The Emperor is not here. I speak for the Empire, Xizor."

- Darth Vader and Xizor

I hope you don't think I'm biased or anything, because I'm not. The discussion just got me curious, so I looked it up. I apologize if this offends anyone, but that's what the book says. -Solus 04:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC) he was only Emperor for a few weeks at most
 * That's the line I was thinking of. Good stuff, Solus. .  .  .  .  05:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Err, he died minutes later. Dead people do not rule anything. Vader was the de facto Emperor when Palpatine died, because he was next in line, though he never got to enjoy it, nothing more. VT-16 07:56, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Err, we're talking SOTE here. Do try and catch up. .  .  .  .  08:31, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


 * VT: We're not talking about RotJ anymore. Even though Vader was Regent, he essentially gave up that position when he turned back to the light. Anyway, back on subject, I think it would be best to include in "Serving the Emperor" something like this: Vader was also Regent, which would make him the Emperor if Palpatine would ever die. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:18, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * We can say almost certainly that he wasn't Emperor in ROTJ. He turned his back on the dark side just moments before he killed Palpatine, thus voiding his regency. Darth Abeonis Sith Council (Sith Campaign) 12:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Turning your back on your religious order doesn't mean you turn your back on your preferred form of government. Is there any source to say whether Vader would have liked to continue the Empire after the Emperor's death, or did his sacrifice also mean he wanted the Empire itself to be disbanded? VT-16 13:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Why would Vader want to continue the Empire? The Empire was controlled by the dark side. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:31, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, lets look at this logically. Palpatine caused his fall to the darkside, (in-directly) killed Skywalker's wife by doing so. Kept Vader under his thumb for 25 years using Sith drugs and built him into a metal suit. He then tried to kill his Skywalker's own son. Why the hell would you want to follow in the footsteps of someone like that!?! Darth Abeonis Sith Council (Sith Campaign) 21:19, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * By that thought process, one can say that America is currently aligned with the Moron Cartel, based upon it's leadership. Governements are not inherently good or evil. They are just influenced by whoever the hell is in control at the time. .  .  .  .  22:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the term you guys are looking for is Executor -not that it matters anymore now that this is degenerating to name-calling. Should I also mention Sate Pestage and the Imperial Council?Tocneppil 22:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well...he had power over things other than the military at that time, as well. .  .  .  .  22:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Although never officially the second -in-command of the Empire, it would appear an Executor has that level of command over the Empire. Seems pretty all-encompassing to me.Tocneppil 23:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * But this is a case when Palpatine was absent. He was first-in-command at the time. .  .  .  .  23:18, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Vader was in charge of the military, and Pestage was in charge of the government. Regardless of what SotE said, would you put a military leader in charge of the government while you were absent, or someone who actually knew how to control the government? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:58, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * So, do you currently rank higher in canon than SOTE, Jack? Face it, Vader was acting head of state in SOTE. Both for the military and the government. .  .  .  .  02:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, obviously nobody here having this discussion bothered to read the article on Executor beyond a quick glance, because you guys would have seen this: Excluding the position of Emperor, the position of Executor appears to have had more power and influence than all others, including Grand Moffs, Grand Admirals, Grand Generals, and the Grand Vizier.Tocneppil 09:29, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thefourdot: I already said Vader was probably Regent. What I was trying to get across was this: Who would be the better choice? Someone with military experience and no government experience, or someone who had actually run the same government? I wasn't trying to just throw away the SotE reference. I was merely trying to apply common sense to the whole thing. And again, in case anyone starts arguing over something I said again, Vader was probably Regent. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * And I was simply trying to point out the significance of Vader's title of Executor (Imperial rank) and where it stood in regards to chain-of-command.Tocneppil 20:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I wasn't even talking about that, Tocneppil. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's true, about the rank of Executor, but SOTE is done in such a way that Vader is shown to have far more power than he would normally have. .  .  .  .  20:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Interpretations
Since the Interpretations of the Prophecy contains a lot of OOU (And, with all of the vagueness and mystery surrounding it, as well it should) should we move it down into the Behind the Scenes section? -Solus 19:50, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Let's see if some could clean it up first. I don't think it should be in the "Behind the scenes" section. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:33, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * All right. Sounds good to me -Solus 22:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd try, but it needs a lot of work. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm doing a grammar overhaul one section at a time. When I get to Interpretations I'll do my best to try and fix it up. -Solus 23:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Assassination attempt by Maul
When was Anakin a target for assassination by Darth Maul? I thought Maul was only ordered to dispatch Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Someone care to clarify?-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron 00:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I always think that hadn't Qui-Gon told Anakin to duck, Anakin would have been killed. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * By no stretch of the imagination does that constitute having Anakin as a target for the Sith. .  .  .  .  01:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Four Dots. Maul probably would have attacked Anakin, but only because he was with the jedi who were his stated target.--DannyBoy7783 02:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

OOU
I have gone through and meticulously rewritten the 'Interpretations of the Prophecy' section, doing my best to rid it of OOU. I need an outside opinion as to if I succeeded or not. If not, then what must be improved, and, if I did help it out, can the OOU tag be removed? -Solus 00:04, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks good. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe a little work, upon further inspection, but it's very good. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I tried to make it okay, I'm glad you like it. What parts needed work? I like to fix things as soon as I notice them... being a perfectionist is annoying, trust me. -Solus 01:06, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it's just that your quotation marks and apostrophes appear different than mine. You're not the only one whose's computer is like that, though. Anyway, I think I managed to fix that. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's weird. Thank you for fixing that, I had no idea. -Solus 01:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Stop changing all the articles i wrote!!!!!!!!!!! i write something then all of you try to claim it as yours...i wrote the force potential bit and the interpretations of the prophecy and Lightsaber training....i had to read a lot of information and it took me nearly 3 weeks...what do i get for it...nothing...not even a thank you you guys just go on it and alter it as you see fit like removing all my original quotes and you mock me Admiral we need 2 have a word!!!!!!Jibers 13:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

De-merge or seperate article
I suggest a de-merger of Anakin and Vader, or at least split the article so its easier to distinguish between Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader. Maybe another one of those window thing with Vader's picture, his 'time of birth' and 'time of death' or something. At the moment the article just seems to long and 'unformed'.
 * Well, the length is precedented elsewhere. As for unformed, that just means it needs further shaping up; the merge was fairly recent, after all, and a lot of the problems with the article would still be problems if the articles were separate. jSarek 04:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well would it be alright if I go ahead and attempt to "draw the line" in the article to seperate between Anakin and Vader?
 * No. Kuralyov 04:25, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, Come on! We have to de-merge it!  They are in the same body, but they're different people!  If the Databank has them separate, we should too.--Vladius Magnum(Clan Magnum)[[Image:dasymbol.gif|20px]]
 * They're the same person, just markedly changed. If The New Essential Guide to Characters has them together, we should too. jSarek 22:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merging them was the right choice. It's like trying to separate Clark Kent from Superman. Green Tentacle (Talk) 22:05, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * A stronger division within the article could be made to show when/where the differences between Anakin/Vader lie. And perhaps a re-titling. "AnakinSkywalker/Darth Vader", perhaps.Tocneppil 23:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Nah. Don't bother.  It will only get worse, as I see nobody is in favor of re-separating them.
 * Well you don't look very far then, do you? I want them seperated! But i also go with what the community says. Darth Abeonis Sith Council (Sith Campaign) 09:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I voted against the merge, but we were slightly outnumbered, unfortunately. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:56, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, what makes me tick is that we had a great Darth Vader article and he's one of the greatest Sith Lords, brought about the near extinction of the Jedi, etc., but now he's kind of a footnote on the Anakin page, one of my least favorite characters and an almost entirely different person. And you can't say that the difference is merely cosmetic.  I know that we have Darth Bane, Revan, and Palpatine all as different than their characters before their complete transformation into Sith.  Although, we might as well use the example of the transformation of "Dessel" into "Bane" and then "Darth Bane", and rename Anakin's article into Vader's, which wouldn't make sense at all, despite him being Vader for more of his life than he was Anakin. It just doesn't click.  Obi-Wan puts it dang straight (as best as I can quote): "...your father ceased to exist, and became Darth Vader.  So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view."  Right.  The point of view of a lot of sensible people who don't understand why it hurts to have them as two different people, like the Databank.  The Databank, if I remember correctly, is higher canon, being on the official website.  At the very least, we should definitely have Darth Vader as a seperate article, BUT, still have a section on the Anakin one that says:

I rest my case. --Vladius Magnum(Clan Magnum) It... just doesn't feel right. I'm sorry. I suppose that we just have to make the Vader section better. My opinion of this site has become somewhat worse because of this change.--Vladius Magnum(Clan Magnum) No, he becomes Vader, but is then redeemed by his son. You see a change in him; but not physically until he gets toasted by his master and put in the suit. It doesn't void all arguments. Read my argument above, specifically what Obi-Wan said. Don't come back trying to imply that we don't understand what we're talking about if you disagree.--Vladius Magnum(Clan Magnum) I know. This discussion is for a different time. I'm just talking to the other people.--Vladius Magnum(Clan Magnum)
 * I would stronly suggest that people like Magnum and "Tnu" go and read the CT archive which decided that we would merge. I am sick to death of having to repeat myself. .  .  .  .  23:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. What has been done is done, unfortunately. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I have a feeling that, sometime in the near future, another consensus track will be formed on this. When that happens, I will vote to separate. We who wanted two separate articles will get another chance. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, yeah, you'll get your chance. Just don't get your hopes up. A vote against policy is a tough battle to fight. .  .  .  .  22:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sigh. It will never be separated&mdash;this is not a fanon encyclopedia. --Imp 23:07, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Darth Vader isn't fanon, Imp. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 02:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * But he is redundant. .  .  .  .  04:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, i wouldn't say that ;-) [[Image:DarthAbeonisSig2.gif]] Sith Council (Sith Campaign) 08:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Listen, I don't want another debate on this. But Vader was very different from Anakin. Not redundant. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No...he is redundant. We already have an article on him. This one. .  .  .  .  22:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, so Cade's redundant now is he? Cor, that was a short Legacy sotryline. &#91;&#91;Image:DarthAbeonisSig2.gif &lt;sub&gt; &#91;&#91;User talk:Jasca Ducato&#124;&#39;&#39;&#39;Sith Council&#39;&#39;&#39;]] &lt;/sub&gt; &lt;sup&gt; &#91;&#91;Special:Contributions/Jasca Ducato&#124;&#39;&#39;&#39;(Sith Campaign)&#39;&#39;&#39;]] &lt;/sup&gt;]] 08:50, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * ...what the hell are you talking about? Oh, and btw, your sig broke. .  .  .  .  09:04, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well we have an article on Cade Skywalker, so i guess he's redundant now as well. According to you he is. Jasca Ducato 09:10, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Why? Do we have another article based on his life somewhere? Does he turn into Darth such and such, and if so, do we have an article on him? .  .  .  .  09:13, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Not that we know of, but either way. That's not what you said. You said we have an article on Vader, so he's redundant. We have an article on Cade, so i'm reasoning that (according to you), he is redundant also. Actually, seeing as we have articles on almost everythig to do with Star Wars; we might aswell just stop editing completely. Thats it then, i'm off. Jasca Ducato 09:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see what the game is. Take a miswording I make and take it to a ridiculous level. Just in case you didn't comprehend, I meant in terms of having a seperate article. I am so sorry I am not foolproof. .  .  .  .  09:21, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. Jasca Ducato 12:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Vader is not redundant, Thefourdot. This article isn't just about him. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, boo hoo. Have you seen Revenge of the Sith? The Empire Strikes Back? Return of the Jedi? I strongly suggest that you do so. Because in those very film prints, you will find the content that voids all arguements for splitting them up. Now, this might be a bit of a spoiler for you, but get this: Anakin is Vader. Sorry to burst your bubble. .  .  .  .  20:57, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The vote was made, policy was followed, and this page was merged. If it bothers you so much, I suggest you find another page to edit. QuentinGeorge 21:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Was he the Chosen One???

 * I was wondering if Anakin WAS the chosen One. The Chosen One was suppose to destroy the Sith. As far as i'm concerned Anakin Solo killed the Emperor. Which is true? Thanks! Quinlanfan 17:30, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Anakin was the Chosen One, period. Darth Abeonis Sith Council (Sith Campaign) 18:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Anakin Skywalker killed the Emperor, the Sith Lord completing the prophecy. However I'm gonna guess that the fact the Emperor came back tells us that the propecy wasn't at all permenant to use the word.
 * That Or, eu after the movies timeline cheapens the movies--Black Jack Scarron 08:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC). a cloned emperor??? yes, just scrap the entire prophecy...
 * Now that the two have merged, all of Darth Vader's quotes are gone... Just wanted to point that out. --Anon

Anakin's bedroom ceiling
This is a bad picture...but is it worth including this info? There are Darth Maul like sith patterns painted on his ceiling. I've seen better pictures so I can look for it if anyone wants this in. You can see a little bit of it here. Perhaps for the BTS section?--DannyBoy7783 00:03, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Could you point those Maul-like Sith patterns out for us? I didn't see any. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:08, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * As I said, it's very hard to see in that particular picture but you'll notice along the top of the image (the room's ceiling) that there is an orange/red coloring to the ceiling and there is a pattern in it. It's hard to see there but you'll have to take my word for it that it's like Maul's tats. I'll try and get a better picture at some point if I can. Until then it's not really very useful to upload that picture. --DannyBoy7783 01:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I see it...sure it's not just the lighting? .  .  .  .  05:22, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks similar to the patterns on the ceiling of the Lars dining room, seen in AotC and ANH - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 21:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oooo, I've got goosebumps! Could this be a hint that young Anakin was being watched over by Palpy all the time?! I love stuff like this!!8)Tocneppil 23:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Image Preposal
Image:Comp-anivader.jpg I think it represents Both Sides of Anakin perfectly and it's an excellent Mirror Image. And don't start at me with that Portrait poodoo either Four Dot Valin &quot;Tnu&quot; &quot;Shido&quot; Suul 18:36, 18 November 2006 (UTC) I like this one best, as it presents Anankin in his "transition period" from Ani to Vader. Adamwankenobi 22:04, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it's too wide of an image to use. if you shrunk it down so it looked ok layout-wise the pictures would be too small.--DannyBoy7783 22:49, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Definitely no to both. We want one from Anakin in his prime, and we already have it as the main image. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Jack, it's one image. I'm guessing that's the point of asking about it - if used both images would be in the infobox. A nice idea but it won't fly. --DannyBoy7783 23:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I wouldn't mind two images in the infobox&mdash;just as long as the main image used now and a good Vader one were used. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No, I don't really like the above image. A mix Ani/Vader one would be fine, but it would have to look really good. -Solus 23:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, if we were to have two images, how could we get them side-by-side? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:50, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know. The only thing I could think of is a good promo that mixes them, but the only one I know of is of poor quality. -Solus 23:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I do vaguely remember a full-body Vader image that was good... I'll try to find it. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Portraits, gentlemen. .  .  .  .  02:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunatly, it is almost impossible to get, find or make an image that both represents Anakin and Vader. Unless you want to venture out into fancreated images where the Anakin image is laid over the Vader image with a lower opacity setting. Let's just stick with the current one. -- Redemption Talk [[Image:Oldrepublic.jpg|15px]] 02:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * How's this for a fun fact - Anakin was Vader before he was in the suit. So, a portrait of Anakin in the hood would give us both Darth Vader, and Anakin, since I'm sure he would have worn the hood in his tenure as a Jedi. Simple. .  .  .  .  02:56, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's not that simple. Having a picture of the pre-suit Vader wouldn't really give us a picture of Anakin, or vice-versa. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 03:12, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, but yes it would. Just give us a grumpy looking Anakin, and we can regard it as either, since the promo shots are not specifically labelled Anakin, or Vader. We cannot determine them, since they are taken in a studio, not in the film. .  .  .  .  03:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the only problem with a "grump looking Anakin" picture is that I don't think any good ones exist. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 03:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah...I'm sure someone like Redemption could whip one up...there was one I was thinking of...went along these lines: .  .  .  .  04:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Or:  .  .  .  .  04:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Damn...first image aint working. .  .  .  .  04:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Here we go. Obviously not this particular one, but the same shot, just of better quality: .  .  .  .  04:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * They're kind of dark, don't you think? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If I were to choose between them, I'd pick the Official Pix one. The pic over there --> is okay but of low quality and, in my opinion kinda... meh. -Solus 17:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. But only if I had to choose between them. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * They're kind of dark, don't you think? Well, since it doesn't obscure his face completely, I reckon it represents his personality well. .  .  .  .  20:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * But it's not good for a main image. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:53, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Reason being? .  .  .  .  21:32, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Because it's too dark. While it does literally show Anakin's light and dark sides, the fact that it's dark doesn't make it good for the infobox. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright, not that one. But we need one of a grouchy Anakin. .  .  .  .  21:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's one of the ones I was thinking of. I would vote for it but...check the CT. .  .  .  .  22:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If I had to choose between these three, I'd still go for Image 1. Image 3 is, frankly, of low quality and I, personally, do not like it. -Solus 22:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of this one cropped to put in. (if we have to change it at all; I'm happy with what's currently there) -- Redemption Talk [[Image:Oldrepublic.jpg|15px]] 22:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd vote for the one on the right. And don't let your consensus track limit your voting, Thefourdot. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:42, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * None of these images take my fancy, so I'm going neutral. .  .  .  .  06:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. I think the current one is better, upon further consideration. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. -Solus 23:16, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
