Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Relationships

I am not so sure that you can discount the idea that Captain Antilles (Sith) may have been related to Wedge. As we know, the extended universe is not canon, so the EU explanation of Wedge's parentage could be wrong. Best Regards, Anon.

The EU is not canon when it contradicts the movies. Otherwise, they are canon. The movies do not say that the two are related, thus the EU's determination that there is no relationship is canon. --Maru (talk) Contribs 20:01, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

If that is so, then why is their are seperate section for the EU in the SW Database? I have heard that George Lucas considers ONLY the events of the movie as happening. I just find it problematic because we run in a huge problem especially when dealing with main characters in the SW universe. Did the Emperor die in ROTJ or did he come back later a la clone as found in the EU? By your criterion, he did come back because it was explained by by the EU novel. However, don't you beleive that this weakens the significance of Anakin bringing balance to the Force? I think that Lucas does kill off Palpatine with a finality. To say that EU is canon just because it does not contradict the films may not be solid. Anyways, thanks for the response! Best Regards, Anon.

There are seperate sections because that is considerably more convenient for disputes over canonicity, having it separated out already. "Did the Emperor die in ROTJ or did he come back later a la clone as found in the EU?" <- They aren't necessarily exlusionary. He could both die in ROTJ and return in Dark Empire. There is no contradiction. --Maru (talk) Contribs 04:53, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] did wedge die?

I believe that wedge was blown up in a snowspeeder or xwing because in either IV or V luke said something like poor wedge or similar and wedge screams as his ship gets hit and then he plummets to the snow or surface of the death star.

By 0blItTeR8oR plz add ur contribs to this and also my R2-force...? post.

That's not possible—he's in Return of the Jedi. I think that was another pilot who died in The Empire Strikes Back, but I forget which one. Mipadi 17:48, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Wasn't that "Dack" something? --maru (talk) contribs 19:34, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Dack Raltiir (sp?) was Luke's gunner that was killed when Luke's snowspeeder was hit. I don't know if that's who this dude is referring to or not. But Dack did die, if I recall. – Mipadi 00:43, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
