thread_title: Keeper - first mention

message: First off, the Arc Significance section in general is borderline, its like a cross between trivia and a really short plot outline, "Trivia That Is Important to the Plot of the Show" section would work just as well. But whatever, having a little point by point thing to explain important plot happens is kinda usefull. But how is "We see signs of friction between Garibaldi and Sheridan." and
"Much to his chagrin, Sheridan learns the proper, albeit embarrassing, Minbari method of discovering a partner's pleasure centers." important to the Plot of the television series. Thats as important as Sheridan's flarn needing some salt. Except the former, if it turns into something more than "They occasionally don't get along" all the other times you put what what it turns into though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 02:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Intersections in Real Time

message: I've removed the following section from the article:
:Despite the central aim of Sheridan's interrogator being to condition him into publicly confessing to his 'Crimes against Earth' in a believable manner that is convincing even to telepathic scrutiny, the idea of "death of personality" is never considered. "Death of personality" is a concept first presented in the season 1 episode The Quality of Mercy. It involves the telepathic re-landscaping of the criminal mind to create a new personality. Presumably a remorseful Sheridan personality could have been created without resorting to comparatively primitive Orwellian Mind Control.
This isn't a plot hole. Passing Through Gethsemane established that the standard, mechanical mindwipe is intended to completely erase a condemned criminals' personalities and memories, and then "program in" new, artificial identities, personalities and memories. It also establishes that the mindwipe technology is imperfect, and that it can be detected and partially reversed by telepaths. Also, telepathic scans are capable of detecting mental tampering by other telepaths (as seen in Between the Darkness and the Light). -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 08:25, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

You don't "retrofit" a hull technology to a ship class.  You can add Shadow weapons, but the essence of a class is the hull.  Change that and the class changes.  The Advanced Destroyer's hulls are "partially organic" (as the script states), hulls that did not exist before.  Thus these are a NEW class incorporating Shadow technology.

Over the years her collection of views became more all-over-the-place, from "far left" to "far right" and including a number of conspiracy theories.  Thinking back on when I used to listen to her on WABC, I think it was Matt Drudge who influenced some of her views toward the "right" and/or in the "conspiracy theory" direction.  (I'm not sure what her problem was with President Obama, as I never listened to her after she left WABC.)  But of course, to say any of this in the article, we would need reliable sources.

thread_title: Comments

message: I've heard this repeated many times, and I'm not sure if there are other sources which claim it to be true, but the only reference cited for the claim in this article is a single Washington Post article. However, a firsthand quote from Ralph McQuarrie himself which I've found in J.W. Rinzler's The Making of Star Wars--presumably sourced from the Star Wars Insider magazine interview also referenced in this article but which I don't have access to--states that it was Lucas's idea originally, not his (bold mine): 
--
“For Darth Vader, George just said he would like to have a very tall, dark fluttering figure that had a spooky feeling like it came in on the wind,” McQuarrie says. “He mentioned the look of Arab costumes, all tied up in silk and rags. He liked the idea of Vader having a big hat, like a fisherman’s hat, a big long metal thing that came down. George wanted him to have some sort of mask, because they were supposed to leap down from this big ship to a smaller ship that the rebels were in. The space suits began as being necessary for their survival in space, but the suits became part of their character. I made three or four little sketches, which he looked at and said, ‘That’s not right, I kind of like that hat, but maybe you should fool around with it a little bit more.’ So I made some more sketches. He was going up to San Francisco to work on the script, and came down in another week and a half or two weeks to see what I was doing.”

This seems pretty definitive to me. A firsthand quote from McQuarrie would seem to trump an unsourced statement from a newspaper article. I'm only hesitant to make an edit because this seems to be such a well-accepted part of Star Wars development lore, so I'm wondering if there are conflicting statements from McQuarrie himself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14C:8101:4B98:11AF:469E:DF52:F348 (talk) 12:49, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
