The Shadow War Chronicles (talk - history - links - logs)

Some quick background, The Shadow War Chronicles is a series of three novels that serve as the sequel to Willow, written by George Lucas, that does not fit into Star Wars continuity. As an April Fool's Joke in 2006, the SW.com Databank suggested that this series would be canonized, and Leland Chee even suggested that Lucas Licensing toyed with the idea of canonizing it, but nothing was done.

I think it's kind of silly that we have articles for each of these three books (Shadow Moon, Shadow Dawn, Shadow Star) with complete synopses and characters lists as if these were actual Star Wars novels when they really have nothing to do with Star Wars whatsoever.

We have a few options, I figure: a) Delete these four articles outright and merge any relevant information into a more appropriate, less specific article or articles; b) merge the relevant information (which I suggest be extremely limited in scope to what is relevant) into this parent The Shadow War Chronicles article, or c) keep them all.

If you have a better idea, please feel free to create a new voting option. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:55, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Delete all four articles and merge information into broader article(s)

I don't feel the need to keep any of these, per what we've done with things like American Graffiti and E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet, but it wouldn't kill me to just merge them into the parent article. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:55, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Yep, delete the individual articles and merge into The Shadow War Chronicles. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 19:21, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
  • FWIW, I think what you're after still falls under what you originally voted for, per my original intent. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:29, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Merge everything relevant into The Shadow War Chronicles parent article

I totally agree that having articles for the individual books is rediculous. Delete them. I think this is the best option. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 19:02, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

  1. I don't know if a REDIRECT of the book articles to the parent article is implied, but that is my vote. - Esjs(Talk) 19:18, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
    • If that is what's implied, then I'm changing my vote. The individual book articles should be deleted after merging the relevant info. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 19:20, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
      • No redirect is implied. These three novel articles should be deleted regardless. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:29, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Merge articles (including The Shadow War Chronicles parent article) into Willow

  1. Merge. All of these are part of the Willowverse; they should all be covered by that article. jSarek 01:03, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
  2. Better yet. Graestan(Talk) 01:07, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
  3. Indeed. Grunny (Talk) 01:09, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
  4. Yeah, even better. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:17, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

  12. The April Fools Databank update should be made more prominent on Willow, and the plot summary cut down. --Eyrezer 12:42, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
  13. Per 4dot, or Eyrezer. The Willow article in its current form is horrible and should be long gone. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 15:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Does a "merge everything to Willow" option include everything else in Category:Andowyne? —Silly Dan (talk) 00:08, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
