Lightsaber Unleashed (history - links - logs - delete - protect)

This is an official product, but really? Swing a lightsaber on your screen? I don't think this adds anything worth keeping here. It's merely a promotion for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 23:45, July 25, 2016 (UTC)

We have things like BriskSaber and similar. It's an official application. I don't think there is any reason to delete it, just tidy it up a bit.--PadawanKenobi (talk) 00:44, July 30, 2016 (UTC)

  • Being an official product isn't an automatic end-all reason to have an article. There are multitudes of official Lucasfilm products that we don't have articles for because they are of trivial or no relation to the official Star Wars canon, which is our primary concentration. We send items that don't have a place on Wookieepedia to the Star Wars Merchandise Wiki, which seems like a more appropriate place for this application.

    • I understand. Yet, this is not a piece of merchandise, like a toy. It's a digital product and there are multitude of similar products we include, such as the mentioned BriskSaber, various flash games or otherwise, which contribute little to no to canon, they are just another appearance. I understand, that there is no NEED to actively purse this article, but when it's already created, I don't see why it shouldn't be included, as if it were missing, it would be one of only a few digital game/app articles which don't exist. I think that we should have a page for every one of those. Anyways, that's just my opinion I guess, no hard feelings :) --PadawanKenobi (talk) 08:48, August 27, 2016 (UTC)
      • The difference to me between Lightsaber Unleashed and something like Brisksaber is that Brisksaber, though limited in its content, has actual gameplay with continuity-intensive elements. Correct me if I'm wrong, but all you do in LU is wave different lightsaber models around your device's screen. That's not a game. That's a toy. To me, that's enough to determine that one gets an article and the other doesn't. Ultimately, to reiterate what I said previously, it boils down to what is most relevant to Wookieepedia's concentration. We decided a long time ago not to overpopulate this wiki with subjects that are merchandise, and this squarely fits that bill in my estimation. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:01, August 29, 2016 (UTC)
