Quote[]

where did the main quote come from? It says it's from Vectivus but he never made an actual apperence - CorellianJedi

Disambig[]

We ought to make a "Bantha (disambiguation)" page, seeing as there are 58 articles aside from this one that include the word "Bantha" in their their titles. Red XIV 23:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Blue Bantha?[]

I know its an 'Ambiguous Canon' article, but should we have a link to Blue bantha?Tocneppil 08:05, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Bantha fur[]

  • Is there a canonical reason why banthas have such thick fur? Surely this would cause them to overheat in a hot climate, like on Tatooine--80.42.94.101 22:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

love the quotes![]

Really funny actually that the Dark Lord of the Sith knows how cute and furry Banthas are. While the "All life loving" jedi makes a cruel and insulting remark twords these furry brethren--99.148.25.42 16:55, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Life Span[]

In which source does it say banthas have a life span of 80 to 100 years? The Alien Anthology (2001) states banthas "have a natural life span of thirty to forty standard years." It also states that they reach full-size at five standard years (whereas this Wookieepedia article states they reach sexual maturity at 20).

Can we get some sources on the info in this article, and determine which source is the "correct" one?--Elrood 03:03, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

meh, whether or not it's canon, they're definitely longer lived than 40 years, they're massive, the size of elephants, I'd say that the 80-100 years estimate is much closer --Tristan7grunt 20:46, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

sentience[]

I think that banthas are at LEAST semi sentient, considering they commit suicide when the tusken they've been with since birth dies. That's not something a non-sentient thing does, at least, not on purpose. And the banthas are star wars' equivalent to elephants who, are actually incredibly intelligent and most probably fully sentient. Just a thought, I know that people hate speculation on wikis, but look at all the evidence, please, can I just change it to semi-sentient? --Tristan7grunt 15:19, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

  • I'd say that this does make them semi-sentient at least, but without any source to back it up, your edit will just be reverted, so I wouldn't bother. Damn the rules on sourcing & speculation, bane of my life. --Dkwolf27 15:31, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, it does bug me, maybe someone will write a story confirming their semi-sentience a some point in the near future, we can only hope... --Tristan7grunt 20:47, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Editing[]

I recently added a Link to tatooine on the page in a sentence about the existence of banthas on tatooine, I found later that it had been removed as speculation when in reality later in that same article information was given about The banthas of tatooine. Why was this removed? I was just changeing the way information was presented, not the information itself. Pacavine090 (talk) 22:44, December 24, 2015 (UTC)

Behind the scenes[]

Why is the behind-the-scenes section in the legends tab? Just wondering. 50.181.233.239 08:42, January 22, 2016 (UTC)
