Talk: Individuals with disabilities


I don't think including individuals with cybernetics that effectively compensate for a physical handicap is the right move here. This category has a significant real-life basis, when the majority of individuals in Star Wars who have cybernetics to fix a physical handicap are effectively cured of said handicap by their cybernetics, something that is not as yet possible in real life. Exceptions (such as Skelly) are rare. SilverSunbird (talk) 23:05, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

  • To add to my first argument, I believe this category should be restricted as follows:
  • I have to agree with Silver here. People like Luke who do not suffer any kind of disability because of cybernetics should not be described as disabled. The OED defines disabled as "Rendered incapable of action or use" or "having a physical or mental condition which limits activity, movement, sensation, etc.," neither of which applies to people with advanced cybernetics.
