[edit] Themes in Star Wars

This is an unreferenced, OR list of things that people spotted that happened to form parallels between the movies, rather than an actual exposition of the themes in the film. It's been around for over six months and still doesn't have a single secondary source to establish any of its claimed parallels, making it nothing but Original Research and thus wholly inappropriate for wikipedia.

• Keep as if nothing else, there is a David Brin (I think, could be someone else) article on the "meaning" of Star Wars, a couple of books exploring it, and who knows what else. I would suggest moving it to the individual movies, but then again, I can see how as it is a series of movies, it might help to have one page to collate them all. Still, this article does need cleanup. It needs to be more like Themes in The Lord of the Rings. FrozenPurpleCube 23:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Or better yet, Themes in Blade Runner. FrozenPurpleCube 23:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think you understand what the issue is here. The article on Blade Runner and Lord of the Rings at least talks about themes in the stories. This is just a list of coincidences between the movies. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 00:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

As I said, the article does need cleanup. Possibly outright revision. It's so long, I'm not sure that there's nothing salvagable from it at all, so I'm hesistant to say that. In any case, I believe that it would be more likely to produce a better article with a rewrite than a deletion, as deleting it would just be likely to produce the same thing again.

• New Proposal Since most of the article is currently about motif's in Star Wars, I propose a new article solely for that, separated from this one. FrozenPurpleCube 04:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this version. An encyclopedic article on Star Wars themes is certainly possible, but this collection of OR isn't it. BryanG^(talk) 05:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, textbook original research. Recury 18:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia's not the place for this kind of unreferenced research. --Elonka 05:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
