thread_title: Night Shift?

message: I was watching G4 the other day and they had a special on Star Wars games.  They showed a clip of a Tekken-esque 3D beat-em-up with Star Wars characters a few times and I was wondering if anyone knew what game that was because I don't think I see it anywhere on this list.

message: Now that this page no loger mention LucasArts in the title, shouldn't it include all officially licensed games, such as the Parker Bros. titles and the arcade games? Rhindle The Red 18:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: After the name change

message: Don't forget people, these games need to be in chronological order. In order of year, and if two games were released in the same year, in order of released date (you can check the release date by visiting the page for the actual game itself). And for unreleased games, try to put it where it "would" have come out, there aren't enough known unreleased starwars games for them to warrent their own section at the moment JayKeaton 07:49, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Chronological order

message: Does anyone think that format works?  It seemed really too bloated for a table.  This list could certainly work as a table (or, more likely, series of tables), but it needs to be better thought out than that one. Rhindle The Red 02:56, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, it was a series of tables.  Do you have any suggestions more specific than "it seemed really too bloated"?  If it could work as a table, why not fix it, modify it or make constructive suggestions instead of reverting my work? The table format has several advantages to the hodge-podge format:  It presents data in a standard way, making it easier to read.  It makes it easy to determine what games were produced for what systems.  It also makes it easier to determine what data is missing (since this list is incomplete). For these reasons, reverting my changes was counter-productive to the development of this article. For other editors to compare, here are the versions before and after my changes.

replies: text: Counter-productive is making a massive change like that without discussion.  There was no mention of a desire to make this list to a table and I think it needs to be hashed out before such a massive change is implemented.  What was wrong with your tables? The "Nintendo/Sony/etc." columns waste tons of space and added nothing.  A simple "platform" column would suffice.  The series and film sections no longer stand out as they did, making them harder to find, not easier.  And the way it was formatted (with the series in the first column) actually made it look less like a list.  So, while I stated that this list *could* work as a table, I fail to see a strong argument why it should be one.  Just because other lists are is not good enough. The information in this list is too disparate for a table, in my opinion (see here) and works better as a series of straightforward lists. Rhindle The Red 13:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your feedback, I understand your concerns now.  I'm going to wait for other editors to comment before addressing anything specific. Jaksmata 14:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The recent conversion to a table

message: should there be a total?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.175.102 (talk) 19:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Short answer: No. Long answer: There's a lot of problems with putting a total number.  First, it's a moving target that can be out of date as new games come out.  This page already admits that it is incomplete, so counting the ones here won't help.  Then there's issues with what qualifies: would an expansion to another game count as one?  Would a special edition with additional features count?  Would same-named games that differ by platform be counted individually?  So, having a number would imply a certainty that can't be.

:The fact that you felt the need to ask this question indicates that perhaps you should take some time to learn a little more about how Wikipedia works and what is a good edit and what is a bad one. I have added a welcome message to your talk page.  Please take a few moments to read the pages listed there.
:List of Star Wars video games is meant to include only authorized Star Wars games, not fan-made games like that Rogue Squadron Flash game you listed.  I could find no link to a valid Star Wars Flash pinball game, nor any indication of this "Hasbro 21 flash games pack" you've listed.  If you can provide a link (and it is a valid, authorized title), feel free to add it back in. 
:Also, you have removed navigation headings for no reason.  Again, a better familiarity with the workings of Wikipedia would lead to fewer issues with your edits. Rhindle The Red (talk) 03:41, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

message: It seems to be under "Other Titles" twice, once for 2005 and again at the bottom of the list for 2004, is there any reason for this or just somebody got confused? (Cerebriac (talk) 11:53, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Republic Commando

message: There was a recent edit to add "The Clone Wars" to the series titles.  While I get the idea (these are the games based on The Clone Wars movie and TV show), they are not actually connected in *quite* the same way as the other series or the episode-based games.  If we want to break these out of the "other" category, can we somehow indicate their connection (and thereby exclude the earlier "Clone Wars" game) or do we put all Clone Wars-era games together (including the earlier ones)?  Alternatively, since "The Clone Wars" is bigger in its scope than any other "series", we could change the "Episode" section to "Eras" and move "Clone Wars" and possibly "The Old Republic" there.  Thoughts? Rhindle The Red (talk) 15:56, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think your suggestion of changing "Episode" grouping to "Era" grouping sounds like the best way to handle it. – jaksmata 21:03, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: The Clone Wars

message: I believe that this article is losing its purpose. Its very first sentence states:
"This is a list of Star Wars video games. Though there have been many hobbyist-made and freeware games based on the Star Wars movie series and brand, this page lists only the games that have been developed and/or published by LucasArts or officially licensed by Lucasfilm."
Going astray from that purpose, someone added the following game to this article, below "Episode IV: A New Hope":
- Star Battle (1977) - Shooter, Bally Astrocade.
This game has clearly not been developed and/or published by LucasArts, nor officially licensed by Lucasfilm. There is even another mistake to this addition: it classifies it as a "shooter", where there shouldn't be such classification. There should be only a list of platforms on which the game was played.
Another example of mistakes to this article: The game "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1982) Atari 2600" is listed twice.
Please, keep it together.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.93.207.6 (talk) 23:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Merging both articles would make it easier to list and describe all Star Wars videogames without loosing track, also as it is now both articles are lacking merging both would make a better article all-around, and there's really no point in having the same article twice. For everyone and forget the canon we are listing them by video games console generation. On the other page someone agreed with the discussed topic, and no one has objected against the merging.Rosvel92 (talk) 14:03, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
