Duel in the Senate

This had no significance whatsoever. No one died, no one had a change of philosophy, and it had no impact on anyone but the two involved. This should be merged with the articles of Yoda And Palpatine, and deleted. --Imp Comlink 13:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  2. Admiral J. Nebulax 14:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC) I agree with you on this one. There is no need for this article.
  3. YIIMM 14:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC) It can be described in a sentence.
  4. Tam 19:15, 5 February 2006 (UTC) Sets a dangerous precident for including movie scenes. What's next, Luke's Dinner at the Homestead?
  • Yeah, that'd be awesome :-P KEJ 21:18, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
  1. --DannyBoy7783 00:06, 15 February 2006 (UTC) I agree with Tam. This event is more important than Luke's Dinner at the Homestead but individual scenes like this can so easily be folded into existing articles. There's no reason not to.
  2. No need to have articles for each duel. - Sikon [Talk] 05:36, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

  1. Lt. 1993 14:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC) Its an important event.
  2. TopAce 16:33, 5 February 2006 (UTC) - There is no problem with the article, it contains info, accurate, has images, has no fanon.
  3. Razzy1319 16:42, 5 February 2006 (UTC) Yoda did have a philosophy change, and if Yoda would have won I doubt a Sith Lord would be ruling an Empire. Solidifies Palpatine's victory over the Jedi.
  4. SFH 17:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  5. Kwenn 17:09, 5 February 2006 (UTC) Though it doesn't have as much of an impact as other conflicts, it's still an important event; it's the battle between the Grand Masters of the Jedi and Sith Orders. That's gotta count for something.

  8. Danik Kreldin 18:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC), Why not?
  9. Darthnemesis555 11:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  10. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC) Okay, changing my vote. This is important.
  11. Wolfdog 02:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC) I think all lightsaber duels (especially the epic ones from the movies) should be "documented" here on Wookieepedia

Actually, it isn't really an important event. Plus, no one dies, and therefore, it did not really play an important role in galactic history. Admiral J. Nebulax 14:56, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Yoda did not have a change of philosophy here. He simply tried to kill the Emperor, and failed. Are we to write an article about every attempted assassination, or just those involving "totally awesome" lightsaber fights? --Imp Comlink 17:32, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Yoda was described as having a sudden epiphany on the nature of the dark side during this battle in the novel. --Fade 17:35, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Oh, so how about an article about every time a character changes his/her point of view or learns something? --Imp 17:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
        • I was just responding to Yoda not having a philosophy change in this battle. Mind, now you mention it, the battle was for the very fate of the Republic...Anyway, I'm against having pages for these 'events' in general, which is why I'm not voting. --Fade 17:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
          • And that, my fiend, is why you should vote. ;) Sorry if I come across as a little hostile, I'm just having a bad day and this fanwank article bugs me. --Imp 17:49, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
            • How is it "fanwank"? It's a legitimate event. And what does it matter if articles like this exist anyway? This is supposed to be the definitive Star Wars resource, so, IMO, we should include major events, such as the lightsaber battles seen in the movies - Kwenn 18:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
              • The fact that it exists as a separate article is fanwank. An event is not ultra-significant just because it appeared in the movies. --Imp 18:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • --201.230.37.101 23:20, 6 February 2006 (UTC) Keep it, though nobody died, it has a hidden significance, the Jedi fall and the Sith rise to the top of power.
    • Thanks for the comment, but anonymous users can't vote (and votes from very new users who signed up just to vote on a VFD are usually also ignored.) Sorry about that, but those are the rules.... — Silly Dan 23:22, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, I agree. Does that make a difference?TIEPilot051999 05:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
      • I agree with the first half, but not the second half. I think once someone is signed up, they're a member of the community just like anyone else, and should feel free to vote if they like. WhiteBoy 08:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
        • His vote did not change on the outcome of the voting, so who cares? - TopAce 18:05, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • This is still open? -- SFH 05:42, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
