Handshake
Hey everyone,

Here's another simple real life thing. However, unlike recent TCs on simple real-life things such as pillow and braces, there doesn't seem to be anything at all that's even remotely unique about handshaking in the SW universe. "used by beings throughout the galaxy" reads like another way of saying that there's nothing culturally unique about it to anyone. It's just a handshake. Fist Bump was recently CSD'd, and we don't have articles on hugs or kisses. Menkooroo (talk) 05:34, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if it would make it unique or not, but at least in Outbound Flight Thrawn and Thrass share something I would consider a variant of a handshake. There are also other appearances that seem to be missing, like X-wing Rogue Squadron: Battleground: Tatooine and X-wing: Wedge's Gamble, and I bet I've seen it appear in other places as well, but can't remember them from the top of my head right now.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 14:40, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * It sould also be noted that handshake is probably not universal, since not all species do it. Some do not even have hands to start with, and others like the Hutts do not hail each other that way. --LelalMekha (talk) 14:49, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Dionne Jinn, if you or someone could demonstrate some kind of in-universe cultural uniqueness that handshakes have, one could make the case for keeping the article. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:18, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do. I don't have nearly as many source books and novels as many of the folks here have, but I'll go through what I have and see if there is anything that would make it unique. Because in its current state, that article deserves to be put into trash, but if something additional could be found it might be improved.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 21:14, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
