Talk:Battle of Mandalore (Yuuzhan Vong War)

I took out the part about Yuuzhan Vong casualties and just left them being "unknown". Wookiepedia is not the place to speculate. —Unsigned comment by Arjunta Pal (talk • contribs).
NPOV dispute
Edit
- Why is the neutrality of this article in dispute? dusty_duster 19:32, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
i changed the outcome of the battle because if a third of the population of mandalore (1.5 million) is lost the vong should be the victors presumably
- Then you're unfamiliar with a pyrrhic victory? Because I thought that the Mandalorians won, but by a slim margin, and that the Vong bombarded the planet and killed 1.5 million people because they were losing. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 15:56, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, at the end of the day, it boils down to this: The Vong failed in their objective (wiping out the Mandalorians, or at least those present on Mandalore), while the Mandalorians succeeded at theirs (prevent this from happening). That pretty well qualifies as a Mandalorian victory, although I do have to agree that it'd probably be considered a pyrrhic one. SpartHawg948 10:51, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed, just as during the Battle of the Coral Sea the Americans lost a fleet carrier and the Japanese only lost a light carrier and a tanker. On paper, the Japanese "won". However, it's generally accepted as an allied victory because the Japanese objective of invading Port Moresby was prevented. - Slagass 02:48, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

- So, can we get rid of the template now that this has been resolved? --Darth Shohet 21:01, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
Conflicting canon
Edit
I've added the Clone Wars thing because of the way Mandalore is portrayed in the series, while the Yuuzhan Vong attack is said to have 'leveled trees and poisoned farmland'. Urm? In the series, it's a bombed-out wasteland. If anyone disagrees, feel free to remove the template! MillieMuddFan67 21:06, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
