| 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:
- Any user may nominate a quote from any article or fan fiction story, but only users who meet the voting policy may vote.
- 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.
- 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.
- All quotes must be sourced. If the quote only appears in an article, the source is the article.
- 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.
- 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.

- Not the truest of words; consider firemen, cops, soldiers, spies, politicians, vigilantes, etc. Many of those guys are prepared and still die. Readiness is just one variable to the equation.-I'm the Chosen OneSo the Prophecy says... 08:22, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Quote (+3)
Reyolé: “Is...is this one real?”
Lamar: “Of course not! Do you honestly think I would trust you with a real lightsaber, as reckless as you are? No, this is a training weapon; it will sting, but it will not burn or cut.”
Reyolé: “I suppose that's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.”
