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.

Quote (-4)
"Sarapin, hmmm. Down on that planet I saw horrors that would drive a man insane. I saw Crash step on a volcanic geyser, exploded right out from under him. I saw an LAAT crash down into the lava and heard the dying screams of those unfortunate troops. I saw a vaapad take out both Grey and Moss. I think if not for the General, we all would have gone insane down on that hellhole."

Quote (-1)
"We were in deep space. We were surrounded, with no one to help us... and with no way out. I sat and watched my friends... my brother die one by one, and the feelings of hopelessness, dread and fear that came over me were overwhelming. There was no way out... no way out..."

 * 4) *Look at some of the quotes around here. Some of them have a little [src] box around them, indicating that this quote came from an article or fanwork and wasn't just made up on the spot. The whole point of QotW IMO is for people to be interested enough in the quote to check out the article, which is impossible with your quote.
