In the premise section, it was listed that Jedi and Sith primarily uses a weapon called the lightsaber which can virtually cut through anything. Shouldn't there be a note stating that there are some materials which is impervious to lightsaber like Beskar and Zillo Beast skin?

:Unnecessary. It already states it can cut through virtually anything, which already tells the reader there are some things it can't cut through. It would be completely undue and unnecessary to start listing the things that cannot be cut through, especially when they would then need explained as to what they are.

Next to "In February 2020, a film was announced to be in development from director J. D. Dillard and writer Matt Owens", please add, "however, Dillard announced he was no longer attatched to direct that film in November 2022."[1] 99.209.40.250 (talk) 17:07, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

#The Skywalker Saga (history) - 2022 discs

Not sure how this should fit in, but I have (in Australia) a set of three 4k disks issued by Disney in 2022 containing respectively Episodes I-III, IV-VI and VII-IX of the Skywalker Saga. These are the films alone. The three disks sell separately and side-by-side with single-film disks containing add-ons. Errantios (talk) 13:28, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the word eponymous for describing Star Wars in the title. Star Wars is not named after anything, so it has no meaning in this sentence. Like this: Star Wars is an American epic space opera[1] multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the 1977 film[a] and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.

 Not done for now: I believe what is being referred to here is that the original film shares its name with the name of the franchise as a whole, which does appear to be the case - is there something I might be misunderstanding? Tollens (talk) 08:28, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Tollens Thanks for your reply!
You are correct that the film was originally titled Star Wars, but it is currently titled and widely known as Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. IMDB has it listed under the newer title, with the original title in parentheses below. Famous people on Wikipedia - actors, actresses, authors, etc - are most often listed under their pen-names or assumed names, with an explanation about their birth names. I don't understand why the original title is being privileged in this case.
I'm new to editing, so I'm still trying to understand the conventions regarding naming. Hunterongames (talk) 09:42, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The current wording is fine. This is a movie IP and not a person. Biographies have different rules. The original film was called Star Wars so the current wording is in line with the sources. Nemov (talk) 12:39, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I'm still trying to get a handle on the rules for naming movies. As one example, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is listed under just Birds of Prey (2020 film), which is one of the shortened later versions of the title, but NOT the original. The first sentence in that article does use the full original title, but explains about the later renaming.
Is this the convention? I'm not opening the can of worms again regarding moving Star Wars (1977 film) to Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, but I'm just pointing out that the article naming conventions don't seem consistent to me and trying to understand the choices. Hunterongames (talk) 13:18, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It can be tricky looking at other articles because each of those decisions are made by individual consensus and the specific details are likely different. Nemov (talk) 15:30, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@NemovThanks for the reply! I'll keep that in mind as I get more familiar with the editing process. Hunterongames (talk) 05:51, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lightsaber info

In the premise section, it was listed that Jedi and Sith primarily uses a weapon called the lightsaber which can virtually cut through anything. Shouldn't there be a note stating that there are some materials which is impervious to lightsaber like Beskar and Zillo Beast skin? JEDIMASTER2008 (talk) 03:56, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary. It already states it can cut through virtually anything, which already tells the reader there are some things it can't cut through. It would be completely undue and unnecessary to start listing the things that cannot be cut through, especially when they would then need explained as to what they are.
