Notable lines in the Star Wars series
Notable lines belong on Wikiquote. This is little more than a list, with some spurious addendums about appearances in popular culture which belong within the main Star Wars article. I absolutely think these lines should be kept for posterity, but that's Wikiquote's job, not Wikipedia's. Vizjim 13:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete little more than a list which needs to be constantly cleaned up as people add their favourite but not notable line. (Gnevin 13:32, 17 May 2006 (UTC))
 * Transwiki to Wikiquote per nom. RGTraynor 13:39, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, should have been clearer - all these quotes are already on Wikiquote, so there's no need to transwiki. Vizjim 13:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Ugh. Delete delete delete. -- Kicking222 13:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Also... this article leads off with "I have a bad feeling about this." Are you kidding me? As if that's never been said by anyone else, at any point, ever? -- Kicking222 13:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * As the article states, it's used in every Star Wars film. It's a huge in-joke for the EU and LucasArts. -LtNOWIS 12:53, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Transwiki to Wikiquote.--Jusjih 14:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * This should be an obvious transwiki. — Cuivi é  nen  T, Wednesday, 17 May 2006 @ 14:16 UTC
 * Transwiki as above.  (aeropagitica)    (talk)   15:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki. --Optichan 18:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as StarWarscruft but I would settle for a Transwiki. Beno1000 19:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki per above - Vizjim beat me to it with this one! Just zis Guy you know? 20:22, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and... The list is not just about the lines in and of themselves, but also their impact. Now, they could certainly go into the main Star Wars Article, but it would probably inflate the article too much.
 * I propose a compromise. Keep the Article, and Rename it to something like: Cultural Impact of the Star Wars Series, and add any additional relevant information. -- SAMAS 17 May, 2006
 * Comment: We actually already have a Cultural impact of Star Wars article, although it's rather short right now. BryanG 22:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Wowl, that was easy! :) Well then, let's get Merging, shall we? - SAMAS


 * Keep and Rename as proposed above. The article is not merely a list of quotes from Star Wars, but also deals with their impact and appearence in other media, which is beyond scope of Wikiquote. - CNichols 21:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge. I'm torn between whether this should exist as a seperate article or as part of Cultural impact of Star Wars. However, I do think that these lines have had enough cultural impact to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia. BryanG 22:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge or keep. With a couple exceptions, these are all very important to the culture. For example, "May the force be with you" was #8 on the AFI's list of greatest movie quotes ever. -LtNOWIS 12:53, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. This isn't fancruft, many of these lines have become cultural memes. Gamaliel 01:58, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
