"If you need the security a strong continuity provides, you may not want to seek psychological security in Star Wars, Star Trek, or any other science fiction series (or computer game continuity). There's holes, gaps, and other problems - my suggestion to you would be to just try to relax a little and enjoy the escapism. When escapism becomes work, an obssession, or is just stressing you out in general, then it's not doing its job and you need to take a step back and take a breather."

Against

 * 1) RMF 00:31, 16 July 2006 (UTC) – nothing against this quote, but it's only really understood by wiki-insiders, and therefore not really suitable for display on the main page. See my post on the talk page for details. RMF 00:31, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Adamwankenobi (+1)
"Before I found Wookieepedia, watching a Star Wars film, reading Star Wars materials, or playing a Star Wars video game was pretty straightforward. Now, I can't even look at any of it for a second without checking Wookieepedia to see if "that character seen to the right of that scene for one second", or "that character mentioned on page 293" has its own article. It's madnaess, I tell you! But that madness makes me proud... for I am a Wookieepedian!"

GeneralTarfful (+1)
"Haha, it's amusing to imagine some 11th-dimensional puppeteers arguing over whether or not they made one human faction or another too weak to the point that this world's entertaining battles are no longer believeable. Come on, those minutemen could never have seriously defeated a superpower like the British Empire..."

 * Wow, I'm honored. Are quoted parties allowed to vote for themselves? I hope so. :) Anyway, should this ever be selected - and it has a looong way to go before it gets there - I'd recommend excising the "Haha" to maintain some semblance of seriousness. Also, at the end I think we'd have to say something along the lines of "GeneralTarfful on theoretical real-world version of clone numbers dispute" so that it's at least somewhat related to Star Wars. GeneralTarfful 02:54, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Against

 * 1) So I'm single-handedly destroying Wookieepedia by merely being involved in this dispute, and Tarfful is a great guy for making a QOTD about it? Oh, that makes so much good sense! Kuralyov 05:47, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

- HK-47

For

 * 1) Heh. Why didn't the nominator vote? - Sikon [ Talk ] 16:00, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Any quote with "meatbag" in it and I'm for it. KEJ 20:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) This quote is good, but they could have an HK-47 quote with more humor and violence, like the one where he impersonates Bastila Shan and Carth Onasi. That one was hilarious!  Darth Fang

Against

 * 1) Eh... it's okay, but it's an HK-47 quote about the Sith. He has so many better quotes about different, more general topics. Topics like violence, love, killing, meatbags, killing meatbags, weapons, violence... -BaronGrackle 18:43, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * 3) --Eyrezer 23:34, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Against

 * 1) Does Xizor actually say this? It's quoted in the pre-face of SotE, but it's a real-world quote by Laughton Lewis Burdock. I don't recall it being used within the text - Kwenn 18:21, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) I don't know about that instance, but it is quoted (as being from Burdock, an in-universe philosopher) in Shadows of the Empire: Evolution and MedStar I: Battle Surgeons. I'd vote for a usage from either of those that is properly attributed. -- Ozzel 04:20, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
