Unidentified laser beam (talk - history - links - logs)
Does a laser beam really deserve its own article?

Heh heh no. Menkooroo (talk) 02:17, January 28, 2013 (UTC)I remember back in the day when someone created it as "unidentified lightsabers."

Keep
- Had some time to rewatch the section of the episode in question, and this definitely appears to be unique technology never seen in any other source, unless I'm missing something. That alone is reason enough for me to vote keep. The article could use a better title, though. —MJ— War Room 04:40, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Per MJ. Also, it has a proper name (electrified laser blade) so it's definitely noteworthy. Stake black msg 17:12, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- I still think the whole idea is stupid, but it needs an article. Corellian Premier

- Yeah, has a formal name. Sorry to say. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:53, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- I honestly had no clue that it was confirmed on SW.com.[source?] JangFett (Talk) 19:56, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

(Long live Lord Revan) 01:04, February 9, 2013 (UTC) - I'm changing my vote seeing as it actually does have a formal name. Supreme Emperor (talk) 02:40, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
Discussion
I don't recall this episode very well and can't refer back to it at the moment, so here goes: Is there anything to indicate that these lasers may be some kind of new technology that we've never seen in any source before? If so, then I could see an argument for keeping it. —MJ— Training Room 02:25, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- The episode slideshow, slide 5 calls them "electrified laser blades", if that helps anything. —Unsigned comment by Corellian Premier (talk • contribs)
- Then why did Jang move it? —MJ— Comlink 17:09, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- For the sake of your own sanity, don't try to understand anything Jang does. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 19:39, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- So can it be moved now? Corellian PremierThe Force will be with you always 00:43, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
