Every once in a while when I run out of other distractions, reading Star Wars wiki articles on mundane topics is something I enjoy.
The article on color says: "Blue, green[2] red,[3] and yellow were examples of colors.[4]"
Everything is past-tense (b/c it was A Long Time Ago). Real-world topics, discussed solely in terms of Star Wars.
There's one for shoes. A separate one for magic shoes. "Philosophy" is nothing but the title of a defunct RPG module. Colors are broken into Canon and Legends.
"Berl" is a non-Canonical colour in the ultraviolet range.
Most articles on color are just one or two lines, but "Green" is such an expansive Star Wars topic that the colour has a disambiguation page.
The article on shoes has a short list of characters who canonically wore shoes.
It links to an article on shoelaces which notes that stormtroopers did not have shoelaces.
The article on boots is much longer than the one on shoes. Are boots more Star Wars than shoes?
Types of Star Wars boots include hover boots and freeze boots.
During the time of the collapse of the Galactic Republic, Senator Bail Organa frequently wore "action boots."
"Eels" are a legendary type of pet.
The term "youngling" was intended to be both gender- and species-neutral.
Fish are said in legends to create "a peaceful atmosphere in a room," but this has not been canonically established.
The Tusken raiders attacked settlers on Tatooine because they believed all water was sacred and had been promised to them, but the colonists extracted and appropriated it freely. So I am coming down hard on the side of the Tusken raiders on this one.
The article on "Sand" makes no mention of actual sand, only of a creature that looked like sandy ground and ate people who tried to walk on it.
The sand of Tatooine, however, is non-canonically made of crumbled glass, which was all that was left of the planet's surface after an orbital bombardment that wiped out the Tusken's precursor civilization, so it's kind of poignant that they're called "Sand People" so often.
There is no such thing as a leap year in Star Wars. This is canon.
Droids are not computers; computers are not droids. Droids ARE robots. A droid that loses its self-contained method of locomotion becomes a computer.
@cute_weeds Spouse (who is a major SW nerd and also a computer scientist) read this over my shoulder and started *ranting*. so I showed him the rest of the thread and now he's giggling about "green" and "Stormtroopers don't have shoelaces."
@green Oh, I agree fully with your spouse that those droid/computer distinctions are ~bonkers.~
