Star Wars movie wiki
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:03 am
I got fed up with having to find movie needle in EU haystick on Wookiepedia, so I started Star Wars movie wiki here. I'd like if you can add something to the wiki.
I still hold that non-canon information should not be in main section, however some non-canon information might be added into "Trivia" section on pages. As I see it, doing otherwise would defeat purpose of wiki, and be hypocritical.2046 wrote:I love it! Great idea and it looks to be a decent execution so far.
Feel free to pilfer anything you want off of http://www.nolettershome.info . . . as much as I would love to do more with it, I haven't had the time and doubt I will for awhile.
My only point of departure is that while I certainly agree in principle with the rigid view of ship nomenclature (e.g. Republic Star Destroyer (or even more properly given the TCW usage, "Jedi cruiser") versus Venator Class Star Destroyer), I actually do relent and use the non-canon names for a couple of reasons:
1. It's bloody hard to do otherwise and be readily understood by the fanbase.
2. I do the same for Star Trek . . . I mean, how else would we describe the New Orleans Class?
Now sure, if push came to shove, the non-canon name has to go out the window. But for day-to-day operations I don't think it does much harm.
Certainly we could, but that depends on Lucas' views of it. Fact that Lucas was involved with something doesn't mean it's canon, although it most likely is.Khas wrote:Wait, couldn't we also add TFU, seeing as Lucas was directly involved in that?
The trick I have to try to maintain, then, is to avoid unnecessary mentions of things, and only go over new data in an episode or other work. The other trick is to follow my somewhat exhaustive episode template which is how the whole thing works.Star Wars: The Clone Wars (novelization)
General Ship Info
Ch. 2: The supporting cruiser Hunter is dispatched for supplies
Other Ship Notes
Ch. 7: Aboard the Jedi cruiser, clones were sitting on ammo crates, which presumably explains what a lot of those boxes are we always see.
"Downfall of a Droid"(TCW1)
General Ship Info
One of the three attack cruisers sports a red-painted bridge exterior. Judging by the initial zoom in on another ship at the beginning of the episode, however, this was possibly not Anakin's command ship, which would leave the red paint a mystery.
Ship Defense
Ship Shields
The early CGI work of this episode features the use of blue shield flashes when enemy weapons strike the Republic cruisers. Only a damaged Republic cruiser has fireballs on her hull, a clue that her shields are weakened or down.
