  • (Sources) Missing the Shadows of the Dark Side comic pack released at SDCC in 2010 and an indirect mention in The Ultimate Action Figure Collection. Skifffy (talk) 23:30, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

  • The Miscellanea field under Appearances needs filling out. Galaxy, Universe, Color, Species, Language, Planet, Desert, Lightsaber duel, etc. to name a few. Other fields like Weapons & Technology and Vehicles & Vessels also need fleshing out. SorcererSupreme21 (talk) 04:52, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
    • Thanks for those, added as much as I can. Feel free to add anything else that you notice is missing, as it's too impractical for me to try and get everything by myself. Commander Code-8 Hello There! 15:17, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
      • Piggybacking here, Owen is depicted using a GRS-1 snare rifle and I've added that to the Appearances section. It is incorrectly shown here as functioning like a blaster rifle instead of, well, like a snare rifle, but since the story isn't continuity I'm unsure if that's something that should be addressed within this article or on the Legends GRS-1 article. - GolanLegs (talk) 17:35, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
  • Context for the Epic Collections and Omnibuses, if possible. Also, can the Insider issues' release dates be specified?
    • I feel like any extra context for the collections would be redundant, as the titles themselves are self explanatory.
    • I did have the Insider dates in earlier but tried to only include exact dates when they were absolutely necessary, as they tend to disrupt the flow of writing.
  • The clone trooper that appears in the Geonosis flashback was not a member of the Empire. On that note, would that mean that the Galactic Republic appears, if not the Grand Army of the Republic and the Republic Military?
    • Added
  • Do single members of a family appearing count as an appearance for that family? SorcererSupreme21 (talk) 04:57, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
    • I feel like it shouldn't count for single members, that may merit a wider discussion. Commander Code-8 Hello There! 07:26, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
Fred strikes back

Comments

  • Would it be worth mentioning in the article that the Epic Collection and Omnibus present the story without qualifying it as non-canon, or at least its chronological placement in relation to the other stories in those collections? In both volumes, it is placed between Darth Vader and the Cry of Shadows miniseries and "The Duty." I know one of the early Epic Collection volumes had a statement on the canonicity of Star Wars Tales stories (non-comedic stories are assumed canonical, comedic stories are sectioned off in the back of the volume), but I don't believe one was every provided for Visionaries? Are we to now take "Old Wounds" as canonical to Legends? - GolanLegs (talk) 09:42, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
    • Posed the question to Chee on Discord, his response was "As far as the Holocron is concerned and how Legends reprints are labeled, the established statuses pre-2014 are all gone. Everything was lumped together and became Legends." So LucasFilm considers things Legends or not rather than trying to merge them into a cohesive timeline. Given the inclusion of the obviously non-canon stories I don't believe we can say the status of Old Wounds changes. But including the placements in the Legends collections is a good idea, added.

      • Glad my suggestion was of help, godspeed! - GolanLegs (talk) 04:47, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
