Talk:List of Star Wars weapons

message: Repeating Blasters are defined in the Essential Guide to Weapons and technology as just being light, portable artillery-type weapons.  Snowtroopers tried to set one up in The Empire Strikes Back.  What is the source for the current repeating blaseter entry?  Also, the page should be cleaned up a lot. LtNOWIS 05:52, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Repeating blasters 

message: Actually Ki-Adi-Mundi has a violet-purple blade and there are many other Jedi who use lightsaber colers other then green, blue and red. --65.102.200.232 17:56, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lightsaber colors 

message: It should be noted that the true spelling of the jedi weapon is Lightsabre as opposed to Lightsaber. This stems from the type of sword known as a "Sabre", from which the name of the fictional Jedi weapon is derived.
Sorry, while this may have been the original spelling, "lightsaber" appears to have been adopted as the official spelling:

message: I've decided to devote a portion of my time rejuvenating this article. There's a ton of material to cover, so if anyone one can help, it will make reaching the goal of a polished article a lot sooner. --ZendarPC 06:45, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rejuvenating the article 

message: Should these actually be listed under melee weapons (by definition, hand to hand)? I certainly wouldn't want to use one without throwing it first. :-) Perhaps there needs to be another section, such as Explosives. This could also include information on land mines (as seen on Hoth), the charges used on Endor, etc. Also, what is the source for saying that they have an eight meter blast radius? I seem to recall an entire space station (or rather, "sky hook") being destroyed by a single thermal detonator near the end of Shadows of the Empire. --Aidje 23:13, 2005 Mar 1 (UTC)
:No. That was a skyscraper. An thermal detonators come in different power classes- the one used in SoE was an especially powerful design. --Maru  (talk) Contribs 06:23, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Thermal Detonators 

message: :Well what about Red-Bladed Lightsabers are they only restricted to the sith and are the jedi allowed to possess this color Lightsaber.  Also if green, blue, and yellow are the main clors for the jedi's, where does purple, silver, lime etc. fit in to. What do these colors mean and how do they fit into the jedi ways and traditions.  Also I was wondering are Double Bladed Lightsabers only allowed by the sith because they are not used by the jedi in any of the movies, the only place i see them used in is "knights of the old republic 1 and 2" and "battlefront 2"  etc. In "kotor 2" it says that the double blade is usually used by the dark side, but is it only used by the dark side is what i want to know.
:The red crystal is slightly unstable and this is used to the advantage of Dark Jedi who draw their power from their unstable emotions. Colors outside of blue, green, red, yellow, and violet are not strictly affiliated with any alignment, due to their scarcity. Silver is typically bound to the light side, as well as viridian and turquoise. Dark siders normally have red blades, obviously, but occasionally they will have violet or orange. As far as double-bladed lightsabers go: they are difficult to master and tend to hurt the user more than the enemy. It is not forbidden that Jedi use these, but the more agressive nature of them is more suitable of a Sith/Dark Jedi or a Jedi Guardian. Many Jedi who want to have the best of both dual-wield lightsabers, as these is easier, safer, and less agressive than a double-bladed lightsaber.

message: This section has become quite long, I think it needs to be de-merged into its own article Lightsaber. I am going to do this on Friday 18th March if there are no objections, I will add a link from here. -- Lochaber 12:43, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the weapons of the Jedi Knight games such as the Wookie Bowcaster or the Disrupter Rifle be included into this article? --SoWhy 16:53, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additional Weapons? 

message: I recently got my hands on a massive volume containing loads of weapons and technology from the Star Wars universe. A lot of it either isn't described very well in the list or isn't even there at all. As soon as I can find some free time (not likely), I'll do some crazy editing. To "SoWhy", the Jedi Knight weapons have been included. Just remember that the video game only has a few weapons in comparison to the ones I am considering adding. I might even makes a few new articles for the weapons. --mewarmo990 08:12, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Big update coming soon 

message: Hi, could the person who added the clean-up tag please let us know what needs to be cleaned up? personally I think it is a reasonably well organised article as it is but I'm willing to clean it up if most people think it would look better arranged differently... -- Lochaber 08:34, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean-up? 

message: Uh, it's pretty established that vibroblades cannot deflect blasters or lightsaber attacks (not including cortosis ones). Someone remove that part.
:All vibroblades have a cortosis weave. This only protects from sparring damage, however, it does not deflect blaster bolts. -Xol 02:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All vibroblaes? Are you sure about that? --maru  (talk) contribs 04:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not entirely, 100% sure, but in KOTOR you can't get any melee weapon besides stun baton variants without a cortosis weave. It isn't like there's a technical requirement, but by the time of KOTOR I, you'd have to desprately search the galaxy for a vibroblade without cortosis. Even the barely-used swords from the Endar spire have cortosis weaves, according to Trask Ulgo (your first companion). Making a vibroblade without a cortosis weave would be like making a computer without a port for the mouse; it simple isn't done. This is all relative to what era in Star Wars one is referencing, of couse. -Xol 04:35, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't forget, the EU deals with vibroblades a lot; the KOTOR eras seem to be exceptions to the rule of vibroblades being conspicuously vulnerable to lightsabers. --maru  (talk) contribs 05:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I propose merging the article Sith lightning be merged into this article, as it is a type of weapon and does not merit its own article. I am, however, not qualified to organize it as such. --Chelsea99 00:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I like all the information organized in a list format like this.  I'll work on getting some of the 1-2 sentence stubs on weapons into this list.  Eventually, if need be, we could split it. Deckiller 00:01, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  I like this 

message: This article is also woefully incomplete, inaccurate, unorganized, and could generally use a major overhaul. For example, weapons should not be sorted by faction, but type. A textbook example would be a heading for ranged weapons, with a brief description and link to more detailed articles/lists about its subcategories, and then a list of known weapons in the SW universe that fall under thoes categories. 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. You should go look at how the firearms articles are sorted, and take the example. --mewarmo990 01:50, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
