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.

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 ====
 * ==== Neutral ====
 * ==== 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.

 * 1) Not sure if the community will like it, but I figured it was worth a shot for a first effort. &mdash;  Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 14:37, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) Does this quote have a point? It seems somewhat pointless. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:05, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) It's not really a bad quote in the context of the novel, but in the context of QOTW it just doesn't work too well. - Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png (talk) 04:13, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) I really don't know what to think, so neutral. Ty294  {Talk}  14:40, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

 * 3) Per Josh. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  18:41, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) Some more adapted dialogue adding to an exchange between Dengar and Bossk.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 08:03, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) My suspension of disbelief is not shattered by the suggestion that people might wipe their asses in the Star Wars universe. -MPK, Free Man  00:51, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) About 80% of the insults and speculations don't in any way resemble slang or objects from Star Wars. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication[[Image:Sabersmilyc3po.jpg|25px]] 12:11, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) It's not terrible, but it drags on to much. Ty294  {Talk}  18:27, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) I like the first line. That's about it. If that was the nomination, I'd vote for it. - Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png (talk) 01:07, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Per Rhea. Take out everything but the first line. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  01:14, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Eh, too long. Like Brandon, I'd just use the first line.-- Josh Bender Talk 01:16, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) I agree, it needed to be much shorter, more memorable. -- Soul Reaper 079 (Requiem) 06:53, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep the first line and you probably have the votes. Personally, I think you cut everything except the first line, but also get rid of the martini part in the initial line, maybe put Alderaanian or Corellian ale instead.- Chosen One I will bring balance ''' 01:24, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

She can't get rid of the martini part. It's from an already released audio drama. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 01:54, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Just release a "special" edition, like Lucas. -- Josh Bender Talk 02:07, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Bah, no one remembers the dialogue in the radio dramas anyway. Or perhaps they displaced the starwars dialogue with the missing minutes of the watergate tapes.- Chosen One I will bring balance ''' 02:10, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) First nomination for Imperial Treachery. Got to start small at least.-- Josh Bender Talk 01:35, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) It's pretty much just "there." It doesn't say anything even remotely significant, witty, meaningful, etc. - Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png (talk) 01:41, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) It's not funny, it's not cool, it's not even a complete point. You have to read the story in order to understand it. Ty294  {Talk}  13:53, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) *Usually, I don't comment on why someone opposes my comment directly, considering that we allow everyone to post what they think, but seriously? When did a requirement for quote of the week have to mean it was funny or cool? To me, it seems like you saw what Brandon wrote and just copied it. I'd ask you to make at least your own assumption of my quote, and not have it made for you.-- Josh Bender Talk 17:20, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) **Users may use any reason they desire to oppose a nomination - Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png (talk) 17:22, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) ***I know, I know, it just seems like he's jumping on you band wagon. It's really the "you have to read the story in order to understand it" part of his reason that got me asking. I respect his opinion, I just wish that he had made it himself.-- Josh Bender Talk 17:27, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) ****You may think he's jumping on the bandwagon, but I'd argue that you're jumping to conclusions. Perhaps he agrees with me? There's no difference in what he said and "Per Brandon," and yet I've never seen you complain about anything like that. - Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png (talk) 17:30, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) *****"Per Brandon" would have insinuated that he was agreeing with your reason for opposing, in which nowhere do you mention the needing to read the book to understand the quote. I really don't care that much, I was just asking.-- Josh Bender Talk 17:36, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) ****** *sigh* My comment below very clearly talks about the need to read it to understand it. Seriously, you're just complaining because someone doesn't like your quote, just like you complained during the Wiki Awards for not liking people's reasoning when they didn't vote for an article you wanted to win. I advise you to chill out a bit. - Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:40, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) *******You're right. I am a little on edge considering I got mid-terms this week an I'm stressed out, etc. I shouldn't be taking my stress and anger out on innocent people like Ty294.-- Josh Bender Talk 17:43, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) ********I sometimes post without reading or paying full attention to previous posts. What I wrote is my own opinion but I probably should have worded it differantly. BTW, if I were to recommend a quote/dialouge from Imperial Treachery, it'd be the one where the guy asks if there is any way he can make it up to the captain and she replies to go and get himself killed. Ty294  {Talk}  17:50, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 11) *********I'm sorry I lashed out at you Ty, and I'm glad to hear that you read my story! There is hope! -- Josh Bender Talk 01:30, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

I think it's witty if you know why he's saying it at least. But of course that's just my opinion.-- Josh Bender Talk 01:53, September 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * You shouldn't have to read the source material to know what it's talking about. Quotes like these are meant to interest you in the source, not force you to read it in order to understand the quote. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 01:55, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Which is why I put as much as I could in the speaker section, that way, people would be interested enough to go and read to see why he's saying this over someone's death.-- Josh Bender Talk 01:59, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

I changed the context of the quote, I don't know if it will change people's minds or not, but I changed it.-- Josh Bender Talk 06:37, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

I read the story so I absolutly loved the quote in context, but for those for those who don't fully understanding the context, I can't vote for it. -- Soul Reaper 079 (Requiem) 06:53, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

It needs a comma before "captain". -- (Conference Room)  01:58, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) I loved coming up with the beginning of this quote.-- Josh Bender Talk 09:36, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I Love the image that comes to mind picturing Tarkin as some form of force ghost standing by Yoda. It made me laugh so it gets my vote. -- Soul Reaper 079 (Requiem) 06:53, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
