thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Clone Weaponry]] 

message: The blue blaster bolts are not caused by the fact that Clone troopers use tibanna gas. Anyone know why they ARE blue? I heard that it was caused by an EMP pulse carried along the beam designed to make the blasters do extra damage to droids, but I have no source. Anyone have a reason for this?
:I wouldn't be surprised - however, there are two reasons this doesn't sound plausible
# When the weapons were produced, they weren't specifically designed to kill droids. They were just an army.
# We see blue bolts coming out of turbolasers/blaster cannons in the movies (prequels). If they're regular blaster cannons, they're just blue. If they're ion cannons, they're ion cannons and cannot be blasters.
:So, the explanation seems to be, they're just blue. Whether the firing mechanism or the gas is different I can't say. Tokakeke 02:09, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blue Blaster Bolts 

message: This article needs a major overhaul. For example, weapons should not be sorted by faction, but type. A textbook example would be a heading for blasters, with a brief description and link to a larger, more detailed article, and then a list of known weapons in the SW universe that fall under this category. For very specific details and examples, citations would be necessary as well. I can say that I'm pretty well versed in the SW lore, and I've also recently come across a nice volume that explains and describes LOTS of weapons and tech in SW. If I have time, I can contribute, but the main issue at hand is reorganizing this article into something other than an unprofessional, incoherent mess. Come on, people, Star Wars is a huge part of popular culture, and it deserves better than this. I also said something very similar on the discussion page for the main list of weapons. --mewarmo990 01:50, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major organization needed 

message: I think that we should split the wepons atleast into towo articles because this one is to big.
One could be for the original trilogy and one for the prequals. --Team6and7 17:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Split Sections 

message: Why isn't there a Trade Federation/CIS section in this article? bibliomaniac15 23:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because nobody's got to it yet :). I'll start on it. In the meantime, why did you remove the DC-15S image? Wooty 01:36, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

text: It's not very dark on either my laptop or desktop screens, and I can see the weapon clearly. Not only this, but the Visual Dictionary has confirmed the weapon in the pic is a DC-15S (boy do I hate that term, DC-15S should be the RC pistol only!). Wooty 07:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  No CIS? 

message: Although it is mentioned in the first line that Star Wars is fictional, you wouldn't think so reading the rest of the article! With the exception of mentioning that a Sterling SMG was used as the basis of one of the weapons, the rest of the article reads as if the described technologies and performanbce characteritics are genuine. Is this really appropriate for wiki? Epeeist smudge 11:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not appropriate; a general article on technology, with subarticles as appropriate, would be a much better practice than this list of weapons. Most of this needs to be transwikied to Wookieepedia and Wikibooks and redirected to preserve edit history. — Deckiller 06:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

text: The external link at the bottom of the article also seems to be unnecessary. It relates to a "study and quantitative assessment" of turbolasers. However, this is not a Lucasfilm website, but is a personal website (which I also find slightly disturbing) and the analysis is based on speculative, outdated, or subjective information and belong on a fan wiki instead. If no one objects, I will remove the link.71.103.203.135 03:35, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Clonewars trooper 800.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Clonewars trooper 800.jpg

message: The slaver blade description, the very last entry on this page, is pretty dumb. "This is the other weapon of the Trandoshan Slaver, and it is deadly effective at close range. If a Trandoshan Slaver ever gets to use this in a fight, he will win." First off, it provides absolutely no information. And I highly doubt that there's any canonical Star Wars database that includes the entry "You will die if a mother pulls this on you." It sounds like something out of a poorly-made instruction manual for a video game.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.130.18 (talk) 19:49, August 30, 2007 (UTC)
