I recall: at the very beginning of the movie, as we enter Jabba's fortress with Luke, we see this torture being applied to a droid (!). The droid, suspended by a device and turned upside down, has red-hot irons pressed to the soles of its feet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.141.194 (talk) 10:23, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Clean up

Did a general clean-up, removing unsourced and tangential material and reining in the chortling tone. I also removed an illustration with an incorrect, speculative caption. Porcsten (talk) 02:24, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Marked some things that failed verification.

• The cited paper is about sensitivity to vibration, not pain, and under conditions that aren't injurious or torturous.
• The cited source about Templars doesn't support the riff on other variations.
• It's speculation that the figure in the illustration is being prepared to have her feet burned rather than other forms of burning; the source of the illustration doesn't mention any specific forms of torture at all. Rather than remove it, I've changed the caption to remove the speculation.

This article had a remarkable gap between what its sources were claimed to say versus what they actually said. The widest of the wide-eyed stuff is now gone, but there's still room for improvement. Porcsten (talk) 13:01, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
