Presenting to you four articles from Category:Behind the scenes. To be honest, I think this one will be another slam dunk, but I'll put them up for individual votes since they're each non-notable in a unique way. See if you can get your vote in before MJ asks why we have them! Menkooroo (talk) 03:45, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Computer-generated imagery (talk - history - links - logs)

The SW films use CGI! But we're not a dictionary, and they also use sound effects, matte paintings, costumes, actors, etc. If we want to link to this in a "Behind the scenes" section or in an out-of-universe article, we'll do the reader a better service by linking to the Wikipedia article on Computer-generated imagery instead.

EditDroid (talk - history - links - logs)

From the article: "...while Lucasfilm Ltd. were the creators of the EditDroid, George Lucas had never in fact used the EditDroid on a movie." So, it's a Lucasfilm thing that doesn't have anything to do with Star Wars? Yyyyyeahhhhhhhh. Menkooroo (talk) 03:45, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

The Hero with a Thousand Faces (talk - history - links - logs)

So, Lucas was influenced by this when making Star Wars, eh? Sorry, bub, but that ain't enough for notability. He was also influenced by The Hidden Fortress, Flash Gordon, Metropolis, Silent Running, Star Trek, etc, etc. Menkooroo (talk) 03:45, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

8. I'd actually rather keep this one, but I think the precedents set in Wookieepedia:Votes for deletion/The Hidden Fortress, Forum:TC:George Lucas's influences, and the soon-to-snowball Forum:TC:Mythology in Star Wars aren't really conducive to that. jSarek (talk) 05:19, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Keep

1. "So, it's a Lucasfilm thing that doesn't have anything to do with Star Wars? Yyyyyeahhhhhhhh." Well this does and it's fairly important to the SW mythology itself. I would also merge this with the Star Wars article (if the information is not there yet). Source it too. JangFett ^(Talk) 04:39, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

10. Yeah, I think U of M has some SW fans in it. We need an article now! And let's just talk about their trip to the final four in the article. Yeah. We don't need to mention anything Wookieepedia-like in it.—Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 13:12, May 3, 2013 (UTC)
