  • Request to delete this was made by User:Blade Hirato on August 10 on the page itself without noting it here. I agree with him in that this phrase does not have any special meaning other than what one would have from a normal reading. Eclecticology 06:17, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Hm, I would have said "delete", but I believe this phrase has entered the language somewhat. If examples of usage other than in the opening titles of Star Wars can be found, then this might be worth retaining. That said, the ellipsis ought to go. — Paul G 09:43, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Documenting these secondary usages can be difficult. What we now have on the article does not even say what it means. What's now in the definition really belongs in the Etymology section. Eclecticology 14:15, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Deleted. After waiting the term still has no definition, and no authority for other uses. Eclecticology 06:36, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
