[edit] Early discussion

The lightsaber is such a significant part of Star Wars it deserves its own page. -- Jaster 14:16, 20 Mar 2005 (EST)

I think this article needs to be broken up and turned into a list-page, like what was done with species. Much of this is heavily intermixed with OOU stuff, and duplicated in existing articles. --GenkiNeko 09:36, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. -- Riffsyphon1024 18:44, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

I personally think that the contents of this article should be moved to a new article, Weapons, as the very title here is OOU (as are several parts of the article). We could then just delete this or set it to redirect to the new article. But I like the list idea~~ Lord Patrick 07:44, 28 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I was thinking about it for months. Let's do it then 62.74.4.240 20:31, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)

More weapons from The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology and its predecessor should be added to this list. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:13, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

[edit] TIE fighter warheads

I'm wondering if it would be acceptable to create articles for those warheads exclusivly used in the TIE Fighter game. In particular the Heavy Space Rockets, Heavy Space Bombs and the MagPulse warheads. Potentially the advanced versions of the Concussion Missles and Proton Torpedoes as well.

I'm on the fence myself as they have not (to the best of my knowledge) been mentioned anywhere outside of the game, but inside the game they did play a signifigant role in the tactics and strategys as well as the progression of the story line.--Anon80

[edit] A data table

I think it would be a good idea if weapons had their own data table, for example (Adapted from The Doom Wiki's chaingun article):

E-11 Blaster Rifle data
Output	Variable
Ammo type	Power Cells Plasma Cartriges
Rate of fire	Variable
Appears in	Episode IV: A New Hope Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Class	Weapon Blaster Imperial Weapon

(Yes, I Know the data's incomplete)

[edit] Adhesive Grenade

I might have missed it (Don't think I did), but there is no adhesive grenade. Such a thing was in KoToR I and II.--Lord Darasuum 02:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WTH?!

"The Raygun is the most common weapon in the Galaxy, though blasters are actually plasma", or something like that. Where the heck did that come from? Do we have some Alternate Universe Star Wars Anons from the 50s or something here? Deleting it now.--Vladius Magnum^{(Clan Magnum)}

Someone threw it back in. I replaced Ray Gun, but couldn't find a way to reword the rest of it to make it fit. Someone more literate than me, please help. Darth Zaktius 05:34, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Damage Rankings

Okay, so I'm a gamer but I have to ask why are we including RPG stats in this article (damage ratings)? It seems entirely against the format of a general Star Wars encyclopedia. Vryce 00:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] double bladed sword.

Umm. I'm not sure about you, but I don't think a "Double Bladed Sword" is a demolition weapon. It's just a sword. An ancient sword, but a sword at that. -- 74.226.122.226 22:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stun weapons?

Anyone care to compile a list?

[edit] Incompletion

Is this supposed to be incomplete or is it unintentionally incomplete? Cyfiero 22:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reality Check "1.21 Gigawatts!" (Doc Brown, Back to the Future)

Can we get a reality check on some of these numbers? 200 Gigatons for an energy weapon, particularly a "Small Canon" on a star destroyer, sounds very fanon-ish to me...wouldn't the energy output of 13,333,333 Atomic bombs (200,000,000,000 / 15,000) render a Deathstar unnecessary? I'm not sure what a 200 GT blast radius on the surface of a planet would be, but it wouldn't take more than 10 or so shots to render any planet uninhabitable. Perhaps it was a typo in the source material, and was meant to be 200 GigaWATTS? That's an actual measure of energy, while GigaTONS is a measure of explosive force, like for a bomb or Torpedo.
