Height

How tall is Shmi? I mean in feet and inches. 69.113.169.47

I'd say maybe 5'1 or something. She's 1.63 meters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Linda Mancia (talk • contribs) 05:02, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's already in the infobox. --maru (talk) contribs 02:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In-universe

Anyone seriously interested in improving the article should consider adding some real world related info, e.g. regarding the concept, creation, and/or function of the character within the Star Wars narrative etc. Please consult our writing about fiction guideline, which also includes a list of exemplary articles.

There are currently three featured articles on Star Wars characters: Palpatine, Padmé Amidala, and Jabba the Hutt. What sets them aside from most of the other SW character articles is the effort to write from the real world perspective. Pay particular attention to paragraphs like Jabba the Hutt#Concept and creation, Palpatine#Concept and creation, and Padmé Amidala#Characterization.

Also take a look at Darth Vader, which despite its lack of reliable, published third-party secondary sources features interesting sections on e.g. #Character creation and concepts and Darth Vader as a #Cultural figure.

Even though reliable sources may be tough to come up with, any effort to introduce coherently written real world aspects will be greatly appreciated, because it contributes to the depth of the article and accurate coverage of the topic, and thereby makes for an improved reading experience and increases the encyclopedic value of the article.

Redirect

As notable as she is to Anakin, I have restored the redirect for this page. The previous content merely regurgitated plot summary and wholly lacked citations. --EEMIV (talk) 01:52, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
