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 (-2)
"I don't know why a lot of clone troopers don't like using vibroblades. I like using them because whenever I swing mine through a battle droid, I really feel like a Jedi wielding his lightsaber, and I like that feeling."

I'd like to know what this clone eventually does in Order 66. This quote could be made much more significant if he hesitates to destroy a Jedi, or flees the Empire in guilt, or something. Or perhaps if he starts hating Jedi even more than his comrades. As it is now, the quote is mediocre, but if it were foreshadowing something, it would win me over. If he knows what being a Jedi feels like... that can be developed. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 22:51, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh, why shouldn't clones use vibroblades? They have in books. Clonehunter (Talk) 01:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it's silly. This is Star Wars, not an animé. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 01:52, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

What do u mean this is sillY? Youve never heard of sword weildin clones? In SW Databank for Bacara, it states tha his armament includes a vibroblade. Republic Commando Hard Contact also references to clone usin swordsClonehunter (Talk) 02:12, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Let's see, you're going into a battlefield with flying starships in the sky, bombs dropping from the air, artillery and tanks on the ground, with long-range blasters shooting all over the place, and all you're going to bring with you is a vibrosword? Really, you wouldn't last more than five seconds. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 02:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

'Slaps forhead' Have you never seen a war movie? They are all chargin, but then they run out of ammo. SLASH!! Pulls out a sword or knife and cuts through enemy. What is your meelee against a droid? Fists? Empty blaster? or a nice vibro blade? -Clonehunter (Talk) 03:30, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, because we all know army generals are too short-sighted to bring extra supplies . Really, your excuse really isn't good enough. In fact, most countries would stockpile ammunition in times of wars. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 03:36, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Technically, guys, your argument, while common sense, is kind of pointless since canon does reference swords. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 04:06, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It's a bad quote. It has nothing to do with whether or not clones use vibroblades. Plus, there is always the question whether a blade can even slice through a droid; they're not lightsabers, you know. –Victor  Sienar.svg (talk page ) 05:45, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * you should read up on vibro blades Squishy. Clonehunter (Talk) 22:24, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the canon writers made them out of super-metal (which is lame in my opinion). --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 23:42, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This is how canon writers solve problems:
 * How did we make cool, awesome, sword-wielding dudes that are kick-@$$ against Jedi? I know! Let's make swords out of super-metals that don't really exist. Yeah, that's a great idea.
 * All in all, it's a terrible quote. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 23:47, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Quote (+5)
"It was arguably one of the worst battles of the war. General's orders were being ignored. Friendly fire was evident. The ground was so drenched by bloodshed, some soldiers were actually slipping and falling. Hell, soldiers were so confused, they sometimes unknowingly listened to the commands from generals of opposing sides!"
