Stormtrooper effect (talk - history - links - logs)

Hey Wookieepedia! 2006 called! It wants its speculative original research sourceless supposed cultural phenomena articles back! Menkooroo (talk) 04:09, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

  1. But yeah, really, I don't think this is any different than Star Wars Flu or Universal Day of the Jedi. No sources, and a single external link to a Wikipedia article, of all things. Principle of Evil Marksmanship may be a real movie trope that Roger Ebert often references, but Star Wars is full of movie tropes, and in the absence of any sort of official commentary on this one, I don't really see it as being on the Wilhelm scream level of notability. The article is currently one big pile of original research. Menkooroo (talk) 04:09, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
  2. The fan wiki is calling? JangFett (Talk) 23:01, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
  3. Interesting as it might be, it definitely belongs in the BtS of stormtrooper, provided it can be sourced. 1358 (Talk) 12:51, September 14, 2012 (UTC)
  4. Per all three above me, and to answer Naru's point below, redirect it to the stormtrooper BTS subsection that deals with it. —MJ— Jedi Council Chambers Saturday, September 15, 2012, 05:54 UTC

  1. I think this is a case where, for it to be saved, it needs to be trimmed down to nothing. This should never be a status article, but "Stormtrooper effect" is a legit cultural phrase that people may well search for. Basically, it should be a definition page: say what it is and just stop, like Fanon. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 04:14, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

  • Forgot to mention that I think this would make a fine paragraph in the "Behind the scenes" section of Stormtrooper. Menkooroo (talk) 04:20, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
