Star Wars Fanon:Quote of the Week

 A Quote of the Week is a quote that remains on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki Main Page for a total of seven days, starting on Sunday at 12:00am Eastern Standard Time and lasting until Saturday at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time. The quote is one that has been chosen by voting users as a quote that represents the best on the wiki.

Good candidates for Quote of the Week should be compelling, engaging, well articulated, and tell an interesting enough story by themselves in order to encourage readers to read more from where it came from, whether it came from an article or a fan fiction story.

Nomination process:

There is a simple process that all Quote of the Week candidates go through in order to be selected as a Quote of the Week. That process is as follows:


 * 1) Any user may nominate a quote from any article or fan fiction story, but only users who meet the voting policy may vote.
 * 2) Quotes are successful after reaching five (5) net votes, which is determined after adding the support and opposition votes. Successful quotes will be placed on the list of upcoming quotes.
 * 3) Quotes are unsuccessful after receiving a net total of negative five (-5) votes, or if they fail to garner any form of consensus after one month of being on the nominations track.
 * 4) All quotes must be sourced. If the quote only appears in an article, the source is the article.
 * 5) Any quote that does not meet the content policy will be removed from the nominations track. It may be removed from the source article as well.
 * 6) Users can use any reason to oppose a nomination. This includes "I don't like the quote," "it's too unbelievable," "it's too long," or anything else. All reasons are acceptable so long as users remain civil.
 * 7) All votes will be either support or oppose; the Comments section should be used to state non-voting opinions.

How to nominate:

When you nominate an article, please use the following nomination form in order to maintain a sense of organization on the nominations track:


 * === Speaker's name ===
 * ==== Quote (+/-#) ====
 * ==== Support ====
 * ==== Oppose ====
 * ==== Comments ====

Nominations will remain on the nominations track until they become successful, the author removes the nomination, it reaches a consensus of opposition, or it fails to gain the necessary votes to be either successful or unsuccessful after one month. If it is successful, the quote will be added to the list of upcoming quotes.

Support

 * 1) Good enough for me.  Savage  1138  15:25, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) I don't think the meaning of "What have I done?" is properly conveyed in this form, but I'm fine in voting for this now. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  21:38, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Dying without knowing what you did... what a crappy way to go. Trak Nar Ramble on 06:26, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I have to oppose this for one reason: We have no idea what he's done. There is no context on this quote, and without that it is impossible to understand the reason for the quote.  Savage  1138  17:54, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Normally I don't oppose QOTW nominations, as I find most opposition votes on QOTW nominations to be ridiculous, but Savage is correct. The quote really has no meaning without any context. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  18:12, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Agreeing with Savage and Brandon.-- Josh Bender щ(ﾟДﾟщ) 18:14, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Hello, LoTR quote. - Solus          Talk to the Hand  16:10, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ownage.- I'm the Chosen One  19:25, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, not really. I didn't pretend the quote was completely original. It's based on the quote from The Fellowship of the Ring. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  19:56, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

"At first glance, Tatooine is little more than a useless ball of sand and dirt. Only by looking deeper into the desert can the mind’s eye see the treasure it holds."

 * That treasure being that it the place that all main characters must visit at some point in their life. AK2.png Ty294 AK1.png (Guns For Hire)  15:07, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's pretty spot on, actually. The Ophuchi storyline originated after a conversation with Ataru, where he remarked that characters constantly bemoan how backwater and unimportant Tatooine is&mdash;yet the Infinite Empire was there, Revan found a Star Map there (twice), Anakin Skywalker was raised there, and Luke Skywalker was raised there. So in the Alternative Saga, Tatooine remains backwater and unimportant to most beings in the galaxy (aka, those who even know it exists), but in the grand scheme of things it's actually an important world. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  16:03, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
