First Battle of Bespin (Galactic Civil War)

This article is about Episode V events, and technically they weren't a battle, Bespin just surrendered without fighting. - Sikon [Talk] 11:48, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

  • Oops, I deleted it again. MarcK 12:06, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)
    • Ok, I just spent alot of time fixing it and wikifying the whole thing. And I didn't even start it (someone put the original title on the battles-list and I thought it'd be easy enough to write it.) Furthermore, I'm getting tired of calling almost every military action a 'battle'. Can't we find some better system to put all these different miltary events into? There's sieges, invasions, missions and battles all being put into one category. I say keep but put it into another section. VT-16 12:13, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: Well, if it's not a battle then it's basically a, when you get down to it, fairly unnotable event in the overall scope of the war; in the end all that happened was Han getting captured and frozen in carbonite, and Luke getting his hand chopped off, neither of which were significant to the events of the Galactic Civil War. Yes, they were significant to the films and to Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Lando and the droids, but not really noteworthy when talking about the history of the galaxy. MarcK 12:18, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)
      • And Bespin was taken over by the Empire for a few months. This at least has some notability. For the improved version, I suggest weak rename to Invasion of Bespin (currently a redirect to the article in question). Unless the majority decides otherwise. - Sikon [Talk] 12:23, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)
  • Rename to Invasion of Bespin and place in Category:Conflicts. -- Riffsyphon1024 15:45, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)
