Title

Forgive me if this sounds stupid, but would battle of the grassy plains not sound more gramatically correct? Being a bit picky there, but battle of grassy plains just doesn't sound quite right to me. The 95 Headhunter 13:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Galactic Battlegrounds calls it Battle of Grassy Plains. So I'm going to assume that that's the actualy name of the location. .... 02:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • The campain in galactic battlegrounds isn't canon, but this is the only time a name for that field is mentioned user:Raltaran
    • The book Star Wars: Complete Locations (p. 18-19) calls the location where the battle happened the Great Grass Plains, and the battle the Grass Plains Battle. So logically, shouldn't it be called the Battle of the Grass Plains or the the Battle of the Great Grass Plains? I say the DK books trump Galactic Battlegrounds.

      • Sources generally don't trump each other. However, the Complete Cross-Sections book is more recent; if you want to move the article, feel free. Thefourdotelipsis 23:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Casualties

The description of the battle as featured in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds states that the Gungans suffered 543 casualties. Should the the number be added, or should it remain simply "Heavy"? 65.175.225.96 22:44, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

  • I've changed the number and properly sourced it; we'll see how the community takes it. Axinal Convocation Chamber 02:24, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
