Disguised Clones (talk - history - links - logs)

Princess Leia with a helmet doesn't get an article at disguised Leia.

Delete, make sure there's mention of disguised clones on some other pages

2. Yeah...BTS stuff could go into Cloning or Clone trooper or some other prequel article I don't care about. Toprawa and Ralltiir 16:22, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
3. Merge with Decoy Squad Five, then delete. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 16:35, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
4. Agreed. —Lucius malfoy7 ^{(Give it up for Lil' 'Soka Tano, ladies and gents!)} 22:02, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
5. Per Tranner. Cylka^-talk- 22:07, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
6. Merge with Decoy Squad Five, specifically the image and the mention in the comic adaptation. Mauser 22:48, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

11. Per Tranner, though if the name is used in a canonical source make a redirect, not a delete (even if that source is LSW) ^Jorrel_Fraajic 00:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

14. Per the the previous two. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 00:12, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
15. It's more of a gaming thing. If we were to create an article for every character in Lego SW, we'd have Luke Skywalker (Bespin), Luke Skywalker (Tatooine), and God knows how many stormtrooper variants. SoresuMakashi^{(Everything I tell you is the truth)} 09:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
    • But these clones also appeared in the novel, not only the games. We're talking about the clones being either a separate distinct class or just being regular clones in disguise, not as a character from Lego SW. Cyfiero 10:05, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
16. Merge relevant information to Decoy Squad Five. -- Riffsyphon1024 01:57, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Keep

1. Well, this looks like its going to be deleted but I would just like to put in that these clones were actually bred differently than other clones making them a distinct class. If you are going to use this kind of logic, then we shouldn't have articles on clone assassins, clone blaze troopers, or any of the other clone classes. NaruHina ^Talk 00:36, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I have to agree with you there NaruHina. I originally was going to vote under keep for that exact reason. But then I thought again and wondered whether they weren't really classified as a distinct class. I'm still a bit indecisive in this case so I probably shouldn't have voted so quickly. Cyfiero 00:40, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps keep the info and page but change it to an angle about the LEGO Star Wars enemy instead.Kevinsanya 12:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

No, that's not canon. If it does appear in a canonical source, lets keep it, though. —Lucius malfoy7 ^{(Give it up for Lil' 'Soka Tano, ladies and gents!)} 01:12, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Comments

Flawless logic. :D Graestan^(Talk) 16:15, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

It really depends on whether these clones were actually bred to disguise as Jedi, or whether they were just a squad of regular clone troopers that were assigned to disguise as Jedi on that one particular mission rather than having been bred to do so. Anyone got sources? Cyfiero 01:01, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Here's the relevant paragraph from p. 368 of the ROTS novel:

"The men of Decoy Squad Five would have been alert on any post. They were bred to be. Here, though, they were in a combat zone, where their lives and their missions depended on their perceptions, and on how fast their blasters could come out from inside those Jedi-style robes."

It seems to me that they were only bred to be alert in general, not bred for this specific situation. I hope this helps. Master Jonathan^{Jedi Council Chambers} 01:10, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

• Yeah, it isn't specific enough really. Oh well, guess I'm probably not voting at all since I'm really not sure (although I'm still leaning towards keep). Cyfiero 01:21, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
