Battle of Yavin

 * &mdash; (ICU)

Editors keep redirecting to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, citing WP:FICT; but I think all the article needs is some sprucing. Real world content would be a big help. Ichormosquito 18:31, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * We might end up merging to Battles in the Star Wars film saga. Any sources you can find that would help support that project would be appreciated.  Ichormosquito 14:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

How much can you say about the Battle of Yavin that isn't synthesizing mutiple retcon-heavy fictional accounts? It seems like this is Yet Another fictional article that treats fictional works as historical accounts, creating a pseudohistory out of fictional stories.

So, what can you say about the Battle of Yavin that isn't actually about A New Hope or some other Star Wars fictional work? If the answer is "nothing" or "nearly nothing," this can safely be redirected to the article on A New Hope. (Redirecting to a LIST of syntheses of multiple retcon-heavy fictional accounts is not really solving the problem; it's just shuffling it around.) Once we've identified what this article can say other than just recapping a plot, we have a place to start improving (or, really, actually write) the article. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
