Talk: WookieeProject The Clone Wars


Canon


Should there be a standardized subheading in the "Behind the Scenes" section of articles about episodes addressing canon conflicts caused by the show? For example, in the Lair of Grievous article, there would be a subheading labeled "Continuity" mentioning Kit Fisto's mysterious presence of eyelids, Grievous revealing his four arms to a Jedi who escapes and talks to the council, R6 droids decades before their invention, the whole Grievous "choosing" his modifications deal, etc. Or should we just assume things like this aren't erroneous and not mention them at all? -Milo Fett 22:38, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

  • I think that would be good. —Lucius malfoy7 22:39, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Right now it's somewhat disorganized and it says "bloopers" in one article and "mistakes" in the next. -Milo Fett 22:40, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I added a previously featured section for articles that were taken to FA or GA before the project. Im not sure I got the nominators correct so if I made a mistake please correct me. :) Dark Lord Trayus 01:37, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Articles under review


In addition to the "Current FAN and GAN" sub-section I would like to propose to the project leader to create a "Articles under review" subsection, similiar to the one WP:KOTOR has. The reason is, currently Wat Tambor needs to be updated with the content presented in Liberty on Ryloth and this project seems like it's up to the taks to do so. Mauser 15:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

  • It sounds fine to me; thanks for the suggestion. CC7567 15:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

To Project Members


Hey guys, I need a little quote help. (If only we had a JMAS of quotes on this wiki... Sigh.) I am trying to bring Onaconda Farr to GA status, but, before nomination, I need a suitable heading quote and a quote from Bombad Jedi. If any of you have candidates for either, I would be forever thankful if you would leave me the quotes on my talk page. Thanks, Lucius malfoy7 23:21, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

What do I do?


What can I do to help?--Darth Malice the Destroyer 23:45, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

  • There a lot of things you can do to help; the main one is to try and contribute to articles. There's not really other things to do, since that's the main objective of the project. :) CC7567 23:57, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Cross out


How can you cross an article out ? My article Zak (clone) is complete. How can it be taken to featured status ? --Clone Commander Lee 12:12, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Rugor Nass


Rugor Nass is awarded to good status with this project. Please list him on the page. --Clone Commander Lee 14:21, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Rugor Nass does not even have one support vote yet. It has not achieved good status at this point, and will not until all objections have been satisfied and the nom itself has a minimum of five support votes, three of which need to be from members of the AgriCorps. Grand Moff Tranner 14:41, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Lee, if you mean it's being nominated on behalf of the project, please consult the edit history for the project page. Nass does not fall under the criteria as a "project" based on the series. He appears in too many other places, and as such is not a project nomination in the truest sense. CC7567 19:17, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Audio files


I am able to provide audio files from any of the episodes of the TV series (sadly, not able to extract them from the film ). So if anybody would like audio to go with quotes on their projects, just give me a holler. I'm currently working through putting audio files in for all the TV series articles that have already reached FA and GA status. - JMAS 13:43, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

  • I've got the film DVD if anyone needs clips from that as well. —Milo Fett 22:20, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
  • OK, now it's official, I've ripped the DVD to my hard drive and can now get audio from the film and all episodes. - JMAS 14:24, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Bounty Hunters affiliation


Since BH have no affiliation, as long as they are paid, isn't it wrong to affiliate them to the "Order of the Sith Lords"? Shouldn't them be affiliated to "Bounty Hunters"? Alexrd 16:48, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

  • You mean Cad Bane, right? Since he had worked directly for a Sith Lord, I think the title applies. —Milo Fett 18:39, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Cartoon Netowork's Dataclips


On the Cartoon Network's website, there are some dataclips on the video section that have some good info, like Plo Koon's Delta-7B be called the Blade of Dorin. Can these info tips be considered canon info? Alexrd 10:44, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

  • Yes, go ahead. Just make sure to source them properly. Mauser 10:48, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Webcomics


I noticed that the links of the several webcomic articles (like The Clone Wars: The Fall of Falleen) aren't redirecting to the comic itself anymore, but to the last page of the The Clone Wars: Act on Instinct. I think that they have changed something on Starwars.com.--Kreivi Wolter 19:45, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

  • We basically need to go through every season one web comic article and correct those external links. They're a few web comic GAs that may need a referencing change, and yes, the external link to the respective web comic in those articles needs changing as well. JangFett 19:48, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

"Dibs" on articles


I think it's great how people are taking an active role in working on TCW related articles. I do have a problem with people putting the {{Inuse}} tag on an article and leaving it up, for all intents and purposes, indefinitely with the following message "This article is actively undergoing a major edit for as long as The Clone Wars series lasts". The article in question is not actively being edited when the character isn't in every episode, and quite often doesn't show up for several episodes in a stretch. Not to mention the article hasn't been edited by the individual who placed the tag in 18 days. Does anyone else think this is going too far? - JMAS 18:23, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

  • You'll have to talk to Tranner about Yularen. For me, I don't place any {{Inuse}} tags in my reserved articles until I'm ready to work on them. However, few articles that I am about to do, i.e Battle of Devaron, have the tag. JangFett 19:41, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
  • The article in question has an inuse tag to prevent people from adding unsourced information and from altering the information that is already there, as I have been working on it on a and will be occasionally updating the actual article with my work. JMAS, if you have a problem with me, my work, or how I'm handling this, how about trying to talk to me directly rather than posting your complaints about me here? I don't like people attempting to criticize me behind my back, no matter how much they try to hide it. Grand Moff Tranner 19:47, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Some thoughts about the clones


Landing at Point Rain made me wonder about something - I think we treated our clones and their specializations wrong all the time. Advanced Recon Force trooper, Clone naval officer, Clone cold assault trooper, Clone jet trooper - it looks like those specializations aren't assigned to each clone once and for all, but vary depending on the mission. Set the video games aside - the various clone costumes are necessary for the game variety - and let's look at other stories:

Okay, some of you may say that we should distinguish them by their training, not their armor/outfit. Then you will remind me that Advanced Recon Commandos were trained by Jango Fett, Clone commandos were trained by the Cuy'val Dar and Clone trooper commanders were trained by Alpha-17 (although TCW makes me wonder how long will the last part remain untouched). And I will say you that:

What's the point of all that? I say that each of those specializations (with exception of military ranks) is not a rank or a specialized clone variant, but merely an occupation. A clone goes to an ice/snow planet and wears special protective gear, but does not get the designation of a Clone cold assault trooper; he picks up a big gun, but does not become Advanced Recon Commando heavy gunner/Clone heavy gunner/Clone heavy trooper, holding a flamethrower does not make one Clone flame trooper and using jetpack does not turn him into a Clone jet trooper. So, whenever we start our articles - especially good and featured articles - with words "CT-XXXX was a Clone naval officer/Clone cold assault trooper/Clone marine", we are actually incorrect. It should rather be "CT-XXXX was a clone trooper, assigned as a naval officer/weapon specialist, starfighter pilot to...". This way we could all list all positions/ranks held by a clone without making it look like he was trained to be a Clone advisor - and only Clone advisor - from his birth. We would also have to rewrite most of those "clone specializations" articles to reflect that is was not a specialization of some clones and not others, but rather a set of armor and equipment best suited for a specific mission. Yeah, and game mechanic articles like Anti-air clone trooper, Clone trooper grenadier and MEC trooper should be just gone in my opinion.

So, what do you think? I posted it here, because it affects many project's articles, but maybe I should bring it straight to SH? Mauser 20:41, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

  • Unless it's explicitly stated as an "occupation" and not a "variant," I do not see much that we can do. If a clone is explicitly referred to as a flame trooper, then I do not see why we should override canon. Otherwise, no, we should not be assuming this much. However, may or may not distinguish , so please keep that in mind. CC7567 20:59, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Bad Kitty


I have a question I'd like people's opinion on. Bad Kitty served as Kenobi's LAAT/i during the Second Battle of Geonosis. It was shot down and crashed with only Kenobi and Trapper surviving. The gunship was very clearly mangled and not flight worthy (one of the wings snapped off) when Waxer and Boil rescued the two survivors. Later in the episode, when they storm the droid foundry, and the LAAT's come through the receding shield and land, Ki-Adi-Mundi jumps out of either a miraculously repaired Bad Kitty or a second LAAT/i with the same customization. Do we assume there is a Bad Kitty 1 and a Bad Kitty 2? Or do we assume that the sole Bad Kitty was repaired by the time the assault on the foundry happened? Thoughts? - JMAS 00:40, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

  • If the second one is not identified specifically? No, I do not believe we should. They could be sister ships, coincidentally have the same design, or some other oddity that will probably remain unexplained for eternity. Either way, the only gunship identified is Obi-Wan's, and that's the way it should stay. CC7567 01:39, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
  • I belive that there are 2 Bad Kitties because Obi-wan's Bad Kitty has 2 beam cannons on each side of the doors, and Mundi's Bad Kitty doesn't have those beam cannons.User:Vitor guerra

Characters


I think it would be a really good idea to add the characters appearances to this article (or a separate article) in like a table, so Anakin might be in 27 episodes, so in the table its like (-- is a column separator) Character -- Appearances Anakin Skywalker -- 27 Yoda -- 26 Mace Windu -- 16

And have it wikisortable, but default is highest to lowest number of appearances. And their appearances are located on the character pages, so it wouldn't be that hard to do. I think this would be a really good idea! (although might work better on its own page.)Iamthecoinman 16:28, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

  • This project is for articles related to TCW, not organizing them in extravagant and profound ways. If you'd like to do this, please do this yourself. WookieeProjects articles, not trivialize them. CC7567 19:58, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Tactical droid 1 (Christophsis)


I dont own the Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Complete Season One, so I can't say anything about this, so I ask: Is this droid specifically named as TJ-55? I'm under the assumption that the name is only in the concept gallery. Is it canonical? Kreivi Wolter 19:53, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

  • If it's only concept art, not necessarily. However, it needs to be judged on a case-by-case basis, so how the information is presented needs to be confirmed. CC7567 07:26, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Non-canon


Are the non-canon TCW articles (for example Unit 2953) part of this project? Kreivi Wolter 14:27, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Site


Why isn't this site([2]) trustworthy? It has a lot of already confirmed and coherent spoilerific info with official pics. Alexrd 01:20, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

  • Official pictures does not mean immediate officialness—they could very well just be leaked. Be patient for a source that is affiliated with LucasFilm Animation to confirm the information, as that is the only way it can be guaranteed as such. CC7567 01:24, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Unidentified


I noticed that nearly all of the droid articles, like OOM command battle droid (Ryloth), have been moved under the title "Unidentified...". But I thought that the droid characters dont need this kind of title. Any opinions about this? Kreivi Wolter 07:59, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

The Narrator


Is the narrator of the series in- or out-of-universe character, or is he considered a character at all? Kreivi Wolter 19:26, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

  • That is a very good question. I would think he'd have to be IU, because he's in the episode, as a newsreel. So it would be like he's a newscaster. *shrug* - JMAS 19:30, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Lack of Sources for the Head of State


Any of the FA and GA of this project haven't properly sourced the Dooku's title Head of State, which isn't mentioned in any of the series' episode. I noticed this while nominating this here. So, do we just need to source them all? Kreivi Wolter 19:45, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Update for the project page


I think the project list needs to be "updated". Cause, now, there is two users who both have claimed Doctor (tactical droid) for their own. Im not sure how does this works, so, can someone, who knows what to do, do something for this? Kreivi Wolter 09:38, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

  • That would basically mean setting some sort of limit on the amount of projects or simply removing all current projects in order to let those active claim them. Both solutions could be implemented, but as one of the users who claimed Doctor is active and the other isn't, I don't see a problem as long as they resolve it themselves. CC7567 19:43, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Necessary?


Are these articles relevant or necessary?

Alexrd 22:03, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

  • They are, actually. Personally, I don't mind it, and Wookieepedia has a lot of extra, stub articles. If those articles were removed, what about the others? Hope this makes sense to you. JangFett 22:23, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

More irrelevant articles:

Is it okay to keep creating these kind of articles? Alexrd 01:17, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Comprehensive articles


Is this project currently involved in Comprehenisve Article Nomination? I assumed we were, but as of now we have no atricles nominated or hilighted as one, so I'm a little confused...--Bonslywizard(Send a transmission...It's perfectly legal!) 18:51, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

  • I think that we are. After all, WP:TCW aims to promote all articles falling within its clause to a higher level—if not FA or GA—then CA. -- 1358 19:16, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Shaak ti pic


I was wondering if the picture of shaak ti released on a cover for the Star Wars insider magazine could be put in her pictures for her page or is this not the right place to ask?

and the link is http://starwars.com/fans/media_news/star_wars_insider_120/index.html Bananapops! 01:08, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

  • TCW Shaak Ti is already in the article. JangFett 01:12, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

People that have been mentioned


I were wondering if characters that has "been scripted and drawn but not made it into the show", should have their own articles, like Shepp-Ke/Kep-She?--Tetsu Aero 18:52, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Screenshots


I can get screenshots of things, if anyone can think of something that needs a picture. I have all three seasons on DVD and can capture screenshots, just let me know. Matt Seay (talk) 23:04, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

UK comics


Guys, these UK Clone Wars comics are in very poor shape. Most of them don't even have cover images. Today I added images to all volume 6 issues, but there are still issues with no cover. And that's just the basic, because these articles don't even scratch the surface of the content of these magazines. I feel like time is crucial here, because the longer we wait, the less accessible these magazines will be, and no one wants more Return of the Jedi Weeklys, for sure. Since I'm not a member of this project, I'm letting you all know in hopes that someone will help out. Stake black 15:12, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Timeline


Should we be using the new StarWars.com official timeline?

  • Except that this one fixes a few errors, such as placing Slaves of the Republic during season 1 events. CC-1010 "Fox" (talk) 21:19, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

Manaan/Canon


Would Manaan/Canon belong here? It was first mentioned in the SWE entry for Mantu, a character that originated in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. - AV-6R7 21:13, June 23, 2015 (UTC)

  • Not really. Manaan wasn't related to TCW in Legends, and the canon Encyclopedia entry doesn't really tie it directly into TCW material. CC7567 01:52, June 24, 2015 (UTC)

Oppo Rancisis


Uh, would http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Oppo_Rancisis meet the standards? 18:37, June 28, 2017 (UTC)

Appearances
