Talk:Dark Star Dugradigdu

This is...not exactly correct. The Darkstar weapons in the Slayers novels are not the same thing as the ships in the Lost Universe novels. The ships are just named after the old legends of Darkstar and the Darkstar weapons-- and the weapons are not sentient in the Slayers universe-- and may not be in Darkstar's, either. The respective animes create links between the two-- notably, in TRY, the figure returning the Valgaav egg is visibly Canal if you slow things down. Canon-wise, Kanzaka said they are not the same. Here's an old explanation by QP/Diana from the old Slayers Universe message boards. So, it depends which version you're going with, here. -- Avocado 21:41, 21 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * You are correct, and I realized early on that with these kind of articles where the canon between the novels and anime diverge, we will have to make separate sections within the articles. Feel free to do so; I've been pressed for time lately. --Argy 01:12, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)

I have put the quotes into "no wiki format"-boxes. There is probably a better way to do this, and the page might become unreadable on low resolutions, but the prior formatting was simply painful to the eye. Also, QP/Diana's summary on the novels should be copy edited later and incorporated into the page I think. --Pip25 09:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Here's my thought: since these entities and items exist separately within the Lost Universe and Slayers canons, perhaps it would be best if they were given separate articles. Perhaps subtitled with the canon to which they belong, or with the type of being they are. Example: "Darkstar (starship)" and "Darkstar (dark lord)", or "Darkstar (Lost Universe)" and "Darkstar (Slayers)". Or, at the very least, there should be two entirely different sections in the articles clearly distinguishing between their appearances and functions within the canons. IMO, the articles pretty much equate them as being the same entity, but taking different shapes, and if I read Kanzaka right, this is not the correct way to view them.
 * That's not so simple. Kanzaka stated that his LU novels are not connected to Slayers, but the anime more or less explicitly makes the connection - so in the anime, Dark Star in Slayers and LU are the same, while in the novels, they are probably not. --Pip25 11:45, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That may be. But according to this [page], the ships were at least in that world named after the legends of the civilization. So the Lost Universe novels could still take place in the Dark Star staff world, but the ships involved are not the creations of the Lord of Nightmares, only by a civilization who remembered the old legends. 99.96.160.214 04:40, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * This issue hasn't been discussed in over a year, and the suggestion to create multiple articles isn't going anywhere, so this whole issue is kind of moot. However, although your suggestion is plausible (Kanzaka just says that there's "little" relation between the two novels, not "no" relation), it's purely speculative, and shouldn't go in the article. You could bring it up in a discussion forum, or theslayers livejournal community. Catgirl the Crazy 13:48, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Editing Practice?
It wasn't editing practice. I was trying to fix what I thought was a formatting error that never seemed to take. Some of the text in the middle of the page kept being displaced for reasons I couldn't figure out. Turns out, it was a hidden flash ad that Firefox was blocking causing the problem. The next time I have that problem, I'll look more carefully for hidden flash ads before doing any editing. 24.117.107.182 19:03, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * That's probably because you're using one of the "Monaco" skins, the ads seems to disappear using those. Try the "monobook" skin and everything will look ok =) -shansito 21:21, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that, we did have a few problems with those ads in the past. The only thing I can suggest is to use the "Monobook" skin as Shansito said. --Pip25 21:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
