Talk:List of Star Wars planets and moons

message: I changed the list from the previous bulleted list presentation to a table presentation. This way, information about each planet or moon can be presented cleanly. Due to the franchise having many planets, it would help to limit the list with certain criteria. Here is what I suggest:
# Planets and moons that are main settings in the Star Wars films or at least have key appearances (e.g., Alderaan)
# Beyond #1, planets and moons mentioned in secondary sources to reflect their real-world notability
To show that this stand-alone list is notable (see WP:NOTESAL), I have implemented three references. Per WP:NOTESAL, "Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable, although editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles." This is why I suggest #2 to ensure that planets and moons that have received real-world coverage should be included. If there is interest in including planets and moons from non-film sources (e.g., novels, video games), provided that secondary sources exist, it may be ideal to have separate sections for these, keeping the film-based list as the top and foremost grouping.

replies: text: Secondary sources always exist. They are called "The Star Wars Encyclopedia", "The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons" and "A Guide to the Star Wars Universe". The idea of a planet mentioned in the video game / novel where it actually appears and then never again is exceedingly rare. I plan to add back all the EU stuff with the sources above.

thread_title:  List criteria 

message: I added Jakku, the planet seen in previews of The Force Awakens, to the list with a reference from USA Today. For now, I've kept the planet unlinked in the list. The planets from the original trilogy tend to be the most written about, and most of the planets from the prequel trilogy did not get much coverage except for Naboo (from what I can tell). We'll need reliably sourced coverage about this planet to warrant a stand-alone article. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 18:00, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

message: I'm generally unfamiliar exactly with how the list is organized and what determines what goes where, and I'm hesitant to screw it up, but I do know Dathomir appears in The Clone Wars in season 3 and 4. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 00:04, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I'd appreciate your thoughts and input back on the project talk page at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Star_Wars#Canon_language. Might have implications for how this list is structured (or not), and perhaps relevance for other SW-related content. --EEMIV (talk) 02:18, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Kamino (Star Wars)]] 

message: I added Dromund Kaas last night and I see that it has been reverted but it is ok. I understand that Wookieepedia isn't a reliable source. The reason that I put it (Wookieepedia as my source) was because that is where they told me of the first appearance. Otherwise I have learned about Dromund Kaas from the novel (Legends) Star Wars The Old Republic: Revan by Drew Karpyshyn. A lot happens on that planet and they travel to it quite a bit. So if anyone could maybe add it back or just make it again that would be great and if you like I could help out Except I am quite new to Wikipedia so I am still learning.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bob yo (talk • contribs) 20:55, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Since I don't have all of the "essential guides", I wonder if one of them gives a definitive list of Dromund Kaas appearances. This one at least has a mention of it. I went with a blog reviewing MotS for now. Connor Behan (talk) 17:58, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

message: The Legends list is separate from the Canon list for a reason. So why are there so many Legends locales and sources in the Canon list? I'd suggest removing them. Disney has established what's canon and what isn't; it's pretty self-explanatory.PacificBoy 03:52, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: If you look closely, you'll see that any Legends locations in the canon section were initiated in aLegends work but have since been made canon. Original works have been added for clarity.— TAnthonyTalk 05:21, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

message: Will someone please add the planet Obroa-Skai to the list. I'm not familiar enough with the organization of the list in Wikipedia to know where best to put it. But it's certainly a Star Wars planet that should be added.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.77.108.15 (talk) 21:12, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

message: A Dec 23 edit by an IP, which adds excessive in-universe detail (I have reverted some of it), also changes the format of the table. Instead of listing the only first appearance, it lists the first appearance plus other appearances that are recent. Is the end goal one of the following?
* All appearances period: This would make each row extremely long because a single planet can easily appear in 50 books.
* First appearance plus all other appearances that are canon: This might result in a short list for now but over the years the new canon will become as extensive as the old one.
* First appearance plus all film appearances: This option does not have a size problem. But we would have to explain the "rules" of the table to the reader.
Personally, I propose that we go back to "first appearance" which is well defined. Moving away from this in a consistent way makes things more difficult and/or less encyclopedic. And yes, I watched The Rise of Skywalker today in order to have this argument. Connor Behan (talk) 02:29, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: List of Star Wars planets and moons →  – It is strange we don't have a list of SW locations, just a list of planet and moons. I recommend renaming this and increasing its scope. I don't think there is a need to have separate lists for locations and planets and moons, it's better to have one list for all SW locations (if it would grow to big we can split it by alphabet or such).

message: I just edited the page by adding TV Series "Obi-Wan Kenobi" to planet Alderaan.
As matter of fact also "Revenge of the Sith" should be added as there is a brief scene on Alderaan toward the end of the movie.
Similarly, for Coruscant and Tatooine, there are quite a few missing media, but this goes beyond my editing capabilities.
Maybe it would be easier to change the entire column to "First Apparence". 93.43.229.160 (talk) 08:59, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
