The result of the debate was to use option 4 - File:BobaFettMain2.jpg. —Xwing328(Talk) 00:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't like the Boba Fett main image. I know that's my opinion, and we already decided it (with some fights along the way), but according to policy, this is the best one:

BobaFett-BloodlinesCover

It's better than the current one in two ways:

1. We started using pics for everything that were portraits, headshots, and head-and-shoulders.

2. It shows him at the latest time we have him, and is in good quality, per the Manual of Style, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Does anybody get it? No? Vote here.---Vladius Magnum(Clan Magnum) 22:10, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

  1. This followed by the ESB promo. —Xwing328(Talk) 06:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Like this one better. Some cropping at the bottom would help. 23:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
It's a sad day when people prefer artists rendition to the real thing. --RedemptionRedemptionusersymbolTalk 23:03, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

  1. Come on already. This better be the last vote. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) Imperial Emblem 20:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Option 3

  1. Changed my vote to this. A little cropping at top and sides would help. -Fnlayson 18:24, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
    • What cropping could you do? Crop the top and you chop off the top of the missile. The sides a little bit maybe. - JMAS 18:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
      • Yea the missile tip is too close. I missed that. But the sides could be cropped a little to focus on Fett. -Fnlayson 23:29, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
        • Done. - JMAS 19:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
          • Oh, thanks. I should have done that myself. -Fnlayson 04:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Option 4

  1. Changed again. This is now my first choice, followed by the ESB promo. - JMAS 06:50, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

  4. Did this change? It doesn't look like the same Option 4 from before. Admittedly, I could be delirious. Maclimes Zero (talk) Infinite Empire 20:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
    It changed. The other Option 4 was File:Boba-CHRON2.jpg|this. --Yoshi626 23:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Option 5

  1. The best option here by far. Havac 04:01, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Option 6

Well lit, no background, high quality, upper body shot... It's a winner. MaclimesZero 18:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Option 7

  1. What the heck? NOBODY picked 7?!---Vladius Magnum(Clan Magnum) 02:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  2. Seven! Seven's mine! They stole it! I thought we agreed on Soda! .... 07:01, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Other?

These two would be good candidates for the main image. I know that I was the one who suggested the current one, but I think it looks a bit weird since it was brightened up... Borsk Fey'lya 16:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Oh, hell yeah. The first one. Without a doubt. Perfect. Clean and crisp. --RedemptionRedemptionusersymbolTalk 18:10, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
    • I'd go for the first one only if the current main one wouldn't win. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) Imperial Emblem 20:59, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
      • I went ahead and moved those to replace OPtions 4 and Options 5 which had no votes. And with those two now there, I think I like the new Option 4 best.JMAS 06:50, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments

  • I'm still strongly of the opinion that clear live-action shots should be preferred over artistic ones, regardless of other concerns. That said, I'm sure we could do better than the ESB promo. jSarek 08:43, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
    • How about some new options then? Any of the three I added to the options strike anyone's fancy? - JMAS 17:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
      • 3 is too distracting. 4 is bad quality. And 5 is a bad angle. --RedemptionRedemptionusersymbolTalk 17:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
        • All the images I added as options are immensely better quality than the current image being used. - JMAS 18:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
          • I'm not sure what your looking at but they are of horrible quality. One could say that your having the same monitor problems as Tnu. --RedemptionRedemptionusersymbolTalk 18:58, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
            • JMAS, those images are just plain horrible. It's the truth. If the majority would, for some reason, vote for one of those, I'd have to replace it because of their poor qualities. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) Imperial Emblem 20:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
                • Groan... I'm sorry I wasted your time everybody. I just don't like any of the options we have right now, and according to our de-facto policy we should have headshots and what they looked like at the latest time. There has to be a solution; on Luke Skywalker we got a really good headshot and it seemed like we had to dig for it. I don't prefer Artwork over Real or vice-versa, rather, which is better looking.---Vladius Magnum(Clan Magnum) 18:03, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
                  • How bout a helmet shot? ;) .... 04:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
  • If there aren't anymore votes then I assume that Option 4 is our winner? --RedemptionRedemptionusersymbolTalk 22:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Since this is CT, shouldn't we wait for an admin to close it? .... 23:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Consider it closed. The image was changed too. —Xwing328(Talk) 00:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
