[edit] James Earl Jones
I see David Prowse as the cast member for Vader but no major mentions of James Earl Jones as the voice for Vader. I don't really want to get into a discussion of whether or not the voice or the physical presence of the actor were primary but I think both should be mentioned. Thoughts? I'll go ahead and make changes if no one has an objection. Protonk (talk) 22:52, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Obi-Wan Kenobi
Changed his rank in the summary text, from Jedi Knight to the correct one, which is Jedi Master. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.69.207.51 (talk) 16:57, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Critical Response
The Critical Response section contains excerpts of two positive reviews. It then states "However, there were a few negative responses." and proceeds to list four excerpts of negative reviews. Finally it states "94% of 66 reviews assessed are favorable". As a neutral reader, I find it unbalanced that the article quotes twice as many negative reviews as it does positive reviews. That grossly misrepresents the true ratio of positive to negative reviews the film received. I am removing one of the negative reviews (the most generic), and I suggest that either a few more positive reviews be added, or additional negative reviews be removed. --Dan East (talk) 05:31, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Casting order in infobox
According to the official film posters, the starring credits are listed in this order: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing and Alec Guiness. However, the posters do not include David Prowse, the actor who played Darth Vader (a major character from the series). Should we just remove him from the infobox starring credits or keep it?

[edit] Michael Kaminski and WP:RS
I have issues with this particular source being used as evidence regards to Star Wars' conception. According to its website[1], it's apparently a self publisher book by a Star Wars fan which has not underwent peer review. I have no problem with it's usage as a source, but I think there should be more due weight.--220.245.207.26 (talk) 13:33, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Why isn't this sci-fi?
This film is very sci-fi, from laser beams in the form of swords to spaceships that use protons as weapons. And yet it is credited as "epic space opera". I would call this a science fiction action film. Can anybody support me with this? The Shadow-Fighter (talk) 23:17, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- Space Opera is a sub-genre of sci-fi so it's implied at the same time. Dancindazed (talk) 04:54, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- Star Wars' genre isn't actually straightforward. IMDB categorize it as "Action/Adventure/Fantasy/Sci-Fi", the AFI have it down as "Adventure/Science Fiction", whereas the New York Times list it as "Action/Adventure/Fantasy" and Allmovie as "science fiction". Basically the sources are saying genre-wise it is a blend of science-fiction and adventure, so space opera does seem to best capture this distinction. Betty Logan (talk) 13:58, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
