I think there should be a notice explaining this defers from the philosophical concept of sentience. Unsigned comment by 216.49.181.51 (talk • contribs).

Humans[]

I'm probably missing the point, but why aren't humans being mentioned here? NoahR9 (talk) 06:42, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

  • I don't think there really ever really was a reason to mention them. You can do it if you want to, but it wouldn't really make much, if any, difference to the page - LoLuX12 (walkietalkie) 06:51, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Sentience and intelligence[]

Sentience and intelligence aren't the same thing. Sentience is the ability to think and feel, which all living creatures have providing they have conciousness. Unsigned comment by 210.185.124.36 (talk • contribs).

  • When it comes to real-life terminology, you are correct. However, Star Wars sources have always used the term "sentience" as meaning the ability to think intelligently. There's nothing we can do about that. We chronicle what licensed sources say, no matter how incorrect it may be at times. --Lelal Mekha The Uprising crest (Audience Room) 08:08, October 8, 2017 (UTC)

Clarify: Sentience, not Sapience.[]

I agree with the post above. Sentience is just the ability to feel and perceive things. If this page can't be renamed SAPIENCE, I think it should at least clarify the mistake, even if it is present in official content. Maybe consider renaming the category "Sentience (Sapience,)" or put the correct term in the article somewhere? (SAPIENCE is self-awareness, wisdom, or the ability for intelligent thought and reasoning. This page already references the Sapience Wikipedia article, so I'm surprised the word isn't mentioned in the article itself.) Rebecca-47 (talk) 23:29, September 4, 2020 (UTC)
