Return of the Jedi

This was also used in Return of the Jedi.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.103.66.134 (talk) January 15, 2007

I recall: at the very beginning of the movie, as we enter Jabba's fortress with Luke, we see this torture being applied to a droid (!). The droid, suspended by a device and turned upside down, has red-hot irons pressed to the soles of its feet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.141.194 (talk) 10:23, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up

Did a general clean-up, removing unsourced and tangential material and reining in the chortling tone. I also removed an illustration with an incorrect, speculative caption. Porcsten (talk) 02:24, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Marked some things that failed verification.

The cited paper is about sensitivity to vibration, not pain, and under conditions that aren't injurious or torturous.
The cited source about Templars doesn't support the riff on other variations.
It's speculation that the figure in the illustration is being prepared to have her feet burned rather than other forms of burning; the source of the illustration doesn't mention any specific forms of torture at all. Rather than remove it, I've changed the caption to remove the speculation.

This article had a remarkable gap between what its sources were claimed to say versus what they actually said. The widest of the wide-eyed stuff is now gone, but there's still room for improvement. Porcsten (talk) 13:01, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
