Have you guys summarized this discussion on-wiki somewhere? I'd love to
have that link on file next time I need to tell a well-meaning person
that we have to delete their nicely-formatted, 3-page article on that
cool spaceship that would have appeared in the movie had the scene not
been cut.
Me pointing them in the direction of Wikia is ok, but I'd much rather
they get a detailed explanation from their fellow fans.
