Star Wars Fanon:Quote of the Week

The Quote of the Week is a quote that remains on the Star Wars Fanon main page for a total of seven days, from Sunday at 12:00am Eastern Standard Time to Saturday at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time, that has been chosen by the membership as a quote that represents the best that Star Wars Fanon has to offer. A good candidate should be compelling, engaging, well articulated and tell an interesting story by itself to encourage users to read more from where it came, whether that is an article or a fan fiction story.

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


 * 1) All users may nominate a quote from any article, although only users who meet the requirements of the Voting Policy may vote.
 * 2) Voting will carry on every week and successful nominations will be placed onto the list of upcoming quotes.
 * 3) Winning quotes will be determined by the community. Once a quote reaches five (5) net votes, which is determined after adding the support and opposition votes, it will be added into the queue.
 * 4) Quotes may not contain profanity that exceeds a PG-13 rating.
 * 5) Users may use any reason they desire to oppose a nomination, such as “I don’t like the quote” or “it’s too unbelievable” or “the quote is too long”. All reasons are acceptable so long as civility is kept in check.

When nominating an article, there is a simple form that should be used in order to maintain a sense of order on the nominations track. It is as follows:


 * ===Speaker’s Name===
 * ====Quote====
 * ====Support====
 * ====Oppose====
 * ====Neutral/comments====

Nominations will remain on the nominating track until they become successful, until the author pulls the nomination or until it reaches a consensus of opposition. If it is successful, aside from being added to the list of upcoming quotes it will also be added to the list of successful quotes.

"We’re pirates; our job is to succeed where no other has succeeded before! To tread where no others have trod previously, and to steal from the noses of those who guard their prizes most fiercely!"

 * 1) Doesn't sound like it's from something from Star Wars. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 19:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) *And your one you submitted about the Nockdumey terrorists does? It's exactly the same as that in terms of 'sounding like something from Star Wars' albeit with pirates instead of terrorists. --[[Image:Darth tom sig.png|100px]] <font color="#000001">(talk) <font color="#000001">(contributions) 19:38, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) **I don't see the logic in that comparison. There are tons of terrorists and bounty hunters in the Star Wars galaxy, and there was nothing about the Mecupa quote that sounded un-Star Wars-ish as far as I could see. Pirates sound both very un-Star Wars-ish and last century even on Earth. And per Brandon. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 20:36, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

 * 6) *Sky/Space Pirates belong in Final Fantasy in my opinion, but space pirates work very well in this continuum as well. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 16:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) **Space Pirates remind me more of Metroid.-- Lord Bender Nightmare975  02:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) First, this is poorly formatted. The header should have the name of the speaker. Second, attributions do not require period at the end of the speaker's name within quote, and third, where is the "[src]"? That's needed since there is a source. But the quote itself, I don't like it anyway. And for the record, Drewton's nomination above (Mecupa) doesn't sound Star Warsy either. --Victor [[Image:Vic sig logo.png|15px]] talk 03:43, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) As much as being the biggest fan of Star Wars: The Lost Mantra, I dont like this quote. :P --<font color=#00416A>Arav the Undersith <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 03:52, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

When I saw this quote, my initial thought was another quote.

William Shatner did a slightly revised version of it in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, as did James Cromwell as Zefram Cochrane in the first episode of Star Trek Enterprise. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 21:02, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

 * The "scared yet" at the end sort of ruined it. Otherwise, it was pretty good/funny. --Victor [[Image:Vic sig logo.png|15px]] talk 20:47, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the advice. I see what you guys mean. Tarvin Calaan (Talk) 00:16, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Another thing I highly recommend is using Dialogue. That's a matter of preference, but on QOTW recently I changed all quotes with multiple lines to use Dialogue and derivatives because of a Wikia error with HTML and templates. So if that ever happens again, we're ready with Dialogue. --Victor [[Image:Vic sig logo.png|15px]] talk 02:50, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Although, the quote technically won already, we should be see if the author of the quote wishes to use Dialogue as Victor suggested. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 12:14, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Changed as suggested. Tarvin Calaan (Talk) 16:46, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Quote (-1)
"So here's how it started. I went to the Jedi Temple one day and found a squad of battle droids in my way. I told them to get out of the way, and they opened fire. I took them down. And now we're in this war." "I thought the Confederacy captured Obi-wan Kenobi and Senator Padme, and the Jedi and clones fought on Geonosis." "Oh yeah, that too."

- Shwann-wan Twinn and the leader of Azuron on the beginning of the Clone Wars.
