THX 1138 (talk - history - links - logs)

OK, so, last time, people wanted to keep this thing because SW media references the title so much. Fair enough. But we do have 1138 (easter egg). Which tells you everything you need to know. Whenever there's a reference to it, it's never to some little plot element or device from the film itself...people only ever reference the title. So, if you're curious, all you need to know is that it's the title of GL's first film. Which that page tells you. I'm sure the articles of everything named "1138" would tell you that as well. But...as a film, THX 1138 does not inform Star Wars, it has no relevance to Star Wars, and it has just as much place here as American Graffiti. 1138 (easter egg) will suffice.

  4. I actually agree with you here now. Most of this article is links back to Wikipedia anyway. Same with American Graffiti. -- Riffsyphon1024 11:30, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

  6. Delete and move THX-1138 (stormtrooper) into its place. Mauser 09:37, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

  11. Per Mauser Rifle.--Goodwood Redstarbird (Alliance Intelligence) 04:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
  12. It is mostly copied from Wikipedia article so I don't see a reason why we should keep a copy here. Especially since all connection to Star Wars that is noted there is already explained in 1138 (easter egg) article.

Keep

Merge and redirect to 1138 (easter egg)

Merge and redirect to History of Star Wars

  1. Per my reasoning on the TC thread for American Graffiti. Alternately, a redirect to George Lucas would suffice as well. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 05:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Comments

  • Old vote here.
  • Come on, people. Even if there is nothing to merge, at least redirect it to the 1138 (easter egg). Mauser 12:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Technically this should be an article about a stormtrooper, per Galactic Battlegrounds. -- I need a name (Complain here) 00:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Oh, I wasn't aware of that stormtrooper's existence. I guess it's time to change my vote. Mauser 09:37, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
  • I'm not totally positive that we need the vote-splitting third option here...I'm sure no one will object if a redirect rises in the namespace's stead. Thefourdotelipsis 07:02, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
