Putting forth a vote to update the infobox image for Anakin Skywalker. In the proposed image I suggest we either leave it as, update it to his ahsoka character poster albeit with the background removed or to his current appearance from Episode Five: Shadow Warrior—-Jkirk8907 (talk) 14:10, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

  8. Option 2 is too dark, and option 3 has a blue tint. The current one is fine, and right now I don't see much reason to change it. Rsand 30 (talk) 16:23, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

  12. Not really much of a reason. Lighting issues from both images aside I just don't see why we need to change this one? - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 21:43, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

  14. This one is far higher quality than the other two. Supreme Emperor Holocomm 22:53, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

  19. If "latest appearance in the timeline" was consistently applied, then the unmasked Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi should have been the infobox image the entire time. SorcererSupreme21 (talk) 04:10, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

  21. Quality/composition aside my take on the Ahsoka appearance is that that's just her memories of him rather than the "real" Anakin. CooperTFN (talk) 15:13, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Option 2

I believe that option 2 would be the best. It is the latest version of Anakin and becoming one with the Force is not the same as being dead as it seems to be a form of immortality for the soul. All that needs to be done for the image is to brighten it a bit more. I believe that the same thing could be done with other pages on characters who became one with the Force.Drour1234 (talk) 20:49, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Option 3

Option 4

  1. I actually prefer this. It is technically his latest appearance in the timeline. The colors are normalized. And the smirk just fits Anakin's personality. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 23:25, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
  2. Braha'tok enthusiast Hello there 23:40, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
  3. I prefer this due to it being generally the most current version of Anakin we see. FearMePhoenix (talk) 00:45, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

    • I really like the draft you have going there, but I think until such changes are implemented (if they are) the current image works best. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 06:06, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
  6. I'd be lying if I said the hype wasn't involved in my decision here. Gone into further detail with a comment in "Discuss" below. -- CJSFanOn Stranger Tides, Arkham City 09:51, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Option 5

Not Ahsoka related, but I'd like to throw this one into the running since y'all are talking about it, if only to differentiate from Legends Anakin. Plus it's of a good quality. --Ur-Hush 03:15, 20 September 2023 (UTC) (Vote struck, reason: Per policy: Fewer than 50 Main namespace edits -- OOM 224 (he/him) 10:22, 20 September 2023 (UTC))

  • If Option 1 passes, then the current image would be reverted to its wider previous version and placed into the page somewhere else —Unsigned comment by Jkirk8907 (talk • contribs)
  • I would strongly suggest replacing option 3 for what we're actually voting for (transparent version). NBDani TeamFireballLogo-Collider(they/them)Yeager's Repairs 14:24, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Done—-14:54, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
  • To the argument, "Why change it?" The answer, quite simply, is image diversity. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 23:46, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Even with the fourth option introduced, I still feel the first option is the best. Recent appearance isn't always the best option (and for a character like Anakin the differences in his appearance are both minimal and not strictly canonical). Image diversity is good and all, but the first image just exemplifies Anakin the most, I feel. Also the lighting is still not super great on option 4. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 23:52, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Personally, I am fine with the Current Anakin Skywalker main image as is, but then it has been (and still is) used in the infobox to headline the "Legends" article as well. Not to say that any of the other options are perfect, but I see no reason why using an image of Anakin from Ahsoka can't be considered for use. That said, even though I did vote for Option #4, I'm sure a better image will present itself somewhere. I certainly oppose Option #3 due to it being "Clone Wars" Anakin rather than "RotS" Anakin, which if chosen, I think would be more insulting to use as a main image than using RotS over RotJ Anakin. On that note, yes, the last time we see Anakin alive is before dying in the Vader suit, but I don't think it's illogical to consider Anakin's Force ghost appearance within Wook's guidelines. -- CJSFanOn Stranger Tides, Arkham City 09:51, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
