Was he shot by Luke?

So according to an older edit on this page, and an archived talk page message, apparently the actor who played this trooper was also a trooper shot by Luke later on. Would that also make them the same troopers, or not necessarily the same troopers, just the same actors? 71.233.247.70 23:23, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

• Without official confirmation, no connection of that sort can be made. And, if you are indeed the same person who has tried adding this information about Lightning Bear twice now, a source needs to be provided for that claim or it will be reverted.

  • http://www.thebothanspy.com/interview.php?intid=1 (interview with Bear in which at one point he mentions he's this stormtrooper), http://www.nerf-herders-anonymous.net/LightningBear.html (Star Wars Actors Database, Bear is credited as this trooper and the one who was shot by Luke after the duel between Vader and Obiwan, but nothing states they are the same trooper for that matter. 71.233.247.70 23:37, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
    • So I guess nothing states that he was killed by Luke AFAIK 71.233.247.70 23:38, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

What?

Why does a worthless bit character have an article dedicated to him? He is just a nameless extra put into the film so the Empire can have a huge army of white armored faceless soldiers. He isn't important and thus doesn't deserve an article. 71.178.230.157 20:08, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

• Aside from the fact he had more canonical screen time than some characters that had entire action figures made for them, the character has also become legendary among fans and his existence has been recognized by Lucas, who could have edited him out of the Special Edition but chose to call attention to him. 23skidoo (talk) 01:38, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

Canon or Legends?

Considering that this guy has only appeared in A New Hope, why is this article tagged as "Legends" and not "Canon"? Jykale (talk) 09:03, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

Two reasons. Firstly, because there's a few extra sources of this character that are Legends only, and secondly, because a canon page has not been created yet. Feel free to create one! -- NoahR9 ^{Chat with me!} 09:55, August 29, 2016 (UTC)
