Talk:Mon Mothma

Mon?

She is referred to throughout the article as "Mon", but isn't that her first name? Don't we generally use last names? Nevermore27 (talk) 21:10, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

We appear to uses first names almost exclusively in Star Wars articles.— TAnthony^Talk 21:30, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

@TAnthony: it's not the case on Cassian Andor's page. Or Han Solo. Or Admiral Ackbar. I understand it in certain cases but not really here. Nevermore27 (talk) 03:35, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Well I think they're the exceptions, for example Wafflewombat did a big overhaul to Han Solo in June/July 2024 and changed changed the names from Han to Solo. Of course, Ackbar is always called Ackbar lol. But even in the film articles, you have Han and Luke and Leia, not Solo and Skywalker and Organa. The last name thing is a hard rule for bio articles but fictional characters tend to lean towards how the characters are referred to in the related media, which is often first names. Anyway in this case it does seem like no one is going round calling her Mothma in Andor.— TAnthony^Talk 03:49, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Female characters with dialogue

The article notes that Mon Mothma is "one of only four female characters with dialogue in the original three Star Wars films." But aren't there five? I count: 1) Princess Leia (all films); 2) Luke's Aunt, Beru Lars (ANH); 3) the Hoth Rebel Base Ion Cannon Commander, known in other media as Toryn Farr (ESB); 4) Jabba's dancer, Oola (ROTJ); and 5) Mon Mothma (ROTJ). Additionally, there are female characters singing for Jabba in Return of the Jedi, but because they are singing and not just talking, perhaps they do not count.

The Entertainment Weekly source for this statement does not mention Jabba's dancer.— TAnthony^Talk 06:26, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
