Razorcrest?

Where exactly in the panel is the Razorcrest spelled like that? These two articles on SW.com both use Razor Crest not Razorcrest --Lewisr (talk) 00:42, August 25, 2019 (UTC)

• As the current source is a video of the panel, it probably doesn't spell out the name (unless it appeared on-screen) and even if it did there are more sources using "Razor Crest", so the page should most likely be moved. Zed42 (talk) 00:53, August 25, 2019 (UTC)
  • Yeah I was hoping if it did appear on screen somewhere, someone could point it out But I'll move it --Lewisr (talk) 00:57, August 25, 2019 (UTC)

Gunship?

Where is it denotes as a Gunship? The Star Wars Databank describes it as such: "A former military craft used to patrol local territories in the time before the Empire, the Razor Crest is the Mandalorian's trusty transport and living quarters, as he scours the Outer Rim for fugitives to catch." https://www.starwars.com/databank/razor-crest

Also the front armament are identical to the AT-AT Walker side-mounted medium blaster cannons. Since the Razor Crest pre-dates the Empire is it safe to assume that the armamnet is a modification? —Unsigned comment by 2601:181:4700:E4D0:D119:9B56:B4B3:820C (talk • contribs)

URL

Tried to add a URL to the press release from the Visual Effects Society for the award given to the designers of the Razor Crest. Despite having an account I'm blocked from doing so. —Unsigned comment by Mfnotes (talk • contribs)

• This is kind of a security mesure, as your account needs to be autoconfirmed, which will happen 4 days after its creation. --NanoLuuke^{Cloning facility} 20:22, April 5, 2020 (UTC)

Classification and Actual Name of Ship?

This article could be updated to state the classification as a ‘Razor Crest-class Gunship’ in addition to affirming its name as The Razor Crest. The justification of this is based on the dialogue in the show:

It’s never been made clear by Jon Favreau or anyone else involved in the show if the ship’s name is synonymous with its classification. One possibility is that when filming the first episode, the thinking behind the quote from the Mythrol was to establish the classification, but by the time the sixth episode was filmed, The Razor Crest became the name of the ship itself, especially given the way Ranzar Malk and Mayfeld speaks about it, as well as the actual reference by the Mandalorian himself. Thoughts? Considerations? 72.218.118.172 15:00, May 8, 2020 (UTC)

• None of those pieces of dialogue suggest that it is the name of the ship class, not even the first quote, in my opinion.--Vitus Infinitus^Talk 16:40, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
  • Until there is explicit confirmation of the ship class, it's best not to speculate too much right now. UberSoldat93 (talk) 16:53, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
    • There’s no harm with speculation in this case. The first quote is pretty self-explanatory. Why would someone ask for confirmation of the name of a ship and what time period it’s from? It’s not like The Razor Crest is plastered over Din’s ship, and if the Mythrol had known what the name of the ship was out-of-scene, it pretty dumb for him to ask the question again in the manner which he asked in-scene.72.218.118.172 17:09, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
      • Star Wars: Squadrons game talks about Razor Crest in plural:"Both Imperial and New Republic pilots are wary of these pre-Empire military gunships, as their outdated design only makes them more unpredictable."
        
        Also, in the season 2 of the Mandalorian, the New Republic pilots recognized the ship is Razor Crest even though the transponter wasn't on. Stardust178 (talk) 01:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
        • Easy test - swap out "Razor Crest" with "Toyota 4-Runner".
        • "I like your ship. She's a classic. Toyota 4-Runner, am I right? Pre-Empire?"
        • "...the 4-Runner is the only reason I let you back in here."
        • "4-Runner? I can’t believe that thing can fly. Looks like a Canto Bight slot machine."
        • "...the 4-Runner is off the old Imperial and the New Republic grid."
        • "Kuiil, ride back to the 4-Runner with the child and seal yourself in."
        • Din Djarin never named his Razor Crest - class gunship, so he and everyone else just refers to it by the class name. --Logan Felipe (talk) 13:59, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Rename to "Din Djarin's Razor Crest"

The way the Mythrol identifies the ship implies "Razor Crest" is a model / production line of several pre-Empire ships. --Potsk (talk) 08:29, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

• We're going to wait for the Visual Guide to give us a definitive answer about the ship's model. UberSoldat93 (talk) 08:31, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

A Razor Crest-class gunship, not the Razor Crest

There is evidence that "Razor Crest" is the model of the ship, not the name of the particular vessel. For example, several characters recognize the ship as a Razor Crest despite the ship having no Republic- or Imperial-era record (one of the reasons it was chosen for the rescue of Qin); this is particularly noticeable in Chapter 1: The Mandalorian when the mythrol recognizes the ship despite showing no evidence of prior knowledge about Mando. For more evidence that "Razor Crest" is the model & not the name, see this YouTube video by Lore Star: Confirmed: Where the Razor Crest Came From

• More evidence of this in the latest Book of Boba Fett chapter. "Did you use to fly a Razor Crest?" --Potsk (talk) 08:50, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Razor Crest is italicised on multiple occasions, indicating that it's the name of the vessel. The ship also has a model name, ST-70 Assault Ship. What I reckon is that Razor Crest is a nickname for the model which was adopted as the name of the gunship. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 00:28, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
    • That "Razor Crest" is italicized is not sufficient to infer it's the title name of Din Djarin's ship. See the relevant example Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft. It is the in-universe equivalent of referring to a person's car by its model or make. If your friend has a Jeep, hands you something, and asks you "Can you put this in the Jeep?", you would not assume they had named their Jeep, "Jeep". --Logan Felipe (talk) 13:41, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
