Hi Gulliver1swift. While your edit to Luke Skywalker is appreciated, I wanted to let you know about a couple issues with it that resulted in its reversion. First, your edit referenced the Episode VII novelization in an out-of-universe way–according to our Manual of Style, outside of the "Behind the scenes" section, articles that aren't on people or things from the real world are to be written solely in an in-universe perspective. Also, your edit introduced some original research on R2-D2's low power state, which is something we avoid, as we only include information that is directly attributable to a published, reliable source. Please let me know if you have any questions. IFYLOFD 01:02, July 16, 2016 (UTC)
As he had downloaded most of the information possessed by the Empire during his time on the Death Star, R2-D2, Skywalker's faithful astromech, was also able to recover the contents of the map, but only by going into low power mode, which allowed him to sort through the wealth of information present in the Empire's archives.
R2-D2 had a similar map in his own archive--with the same missing fraction. The Star Wars VII novelization suggests R2-D2 had downloaded most of the information possessed by the Empire during his time on the Death Star and was also able to recover the contents of the map . This would either suggest that Lor San Tekka stole the missing fraction before R2-D2 downloaded it or Lor San Tekka cooperated with Luke to preserve the incomplete map in R2-D2. Regardless, R2-D2 awoke from his low power mode after the First Order failed in its last attempt to stop the Resistance from obtaining the missing fragment. R2-D2 projected the holographic map into the air and BB-8 projected the missing piece into the hole in R2-D2's map.
To upload files you need to meet three requirements: (1) Have an account that is at least four days old (2); have at least fifty edits on Wookieepedia; and (3) a confirmed email address in your preferences. Hope this helps. Brules 07:32, July 17, 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to try and revise. I want to understand what you mean by original research. You are referring to which part of my edit: the sentence "this would either suggest" or the sentence ""R2D2 awoke from his low power"? I suspect you refer to the former (more interpretive) and not the latter (more observational). Does the information the original states about R2D2 originate from exposition in the novelization or is it speculation from the original wiki writer?Gulliver1swift ()

- I'm trying to upload a file per instructions. However, the only upload file option I can find is greyed out for administrators. Am I looking in the wrong place or is there an access issue not indicated in the instructions?Gulliver1swift () 07:10, July 17, 2016 (UTC)
