Lightsabers in pop culture (talk - history - links - logs)

Completely unnecessary trivia list. These sorts of lists are discouraged per WP:TRIVIA. Most, if not all, information already exists in the various lists of references to Star Wars. --Imperialles 12:56, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

  • An example of what was originally an article section gone out of hand. I think the Ulysses 31 reference should be merged back into the lightsaber article, since they actually use the snap-hiss sounds from Star Wars. I guess most of the rest can go. KEJ 20:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Just a bit overdone. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 06:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge the info to the List of references. We must keep the info. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Neutral comments

  • Article was recently split off from the main lightsaber article. A re-merge may be desirable. —Silly Dan (talk) 13:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
    • I think any information that needs to go anywhere else needs to go into (an) article(s) focusing on (a) real-world topic(s) rather than one focusing on canon. Wildyoda 03:54, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
    • The main lightsaber article came to be bulky and somehow unnavigable. Since there is already an article about List of references to Star Wars, I thought it best to make this separate article and lighten the original a bit. I would vote against re-merging them. Either put it in the List of references to Star Wars family of articles, or delete it. MoffRebus 10:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
