So, after we swap in the new description, what else do we have to do? There's maybe wick cleaning but going through 17k wicks of a continuously growing trope that's ingrained in wiki culture isn't exactly feasible and might not be worth the effort.

[up] We should ideally go through the wicks, but that might be best in a proper cleanup effort, especially with how popular this trope is. Trying to do it all on TRS is an exercise in insanity, and having a cleanup thread open may publicize it more.

this is a good time to plug my long-abandoned Big Bad Cleanup Thread nobody ever uses tongue

[up] That makes sense.

I remembered that people have said that we should spinoff "Penultimate threat" before the Big Bad" a few posts back. So, if we are doing that we can use the old description right?

I just swapped in the sandbox. Someone should open an Image Pickin' thread if you have issues with the image. I do think there is a rule/mod fiat that difficult-to-illustrate Tropes of Legend should have Star Wars images whenever possible, so that might be a reason to keep the current.

[up] The only rule listed on the Image Pickin' discussion thread is that tropes that are a part of Five-Man Band must be Star Wars characters (The Hero, The Lancer, The Smart Guy, The Big Guy, The Chick), although this may be subject to change.

Oh, and the Darth Vader pic on The Dragon is JAFAAC.

Let's save the image issue for IP, shall we? If we all agree to finish this up at a cleanup thread, should this be closed?

Eh... from what I've seen, Image Pickin is more lenient toward Star Wars images when it comes to whether they're JAFAAC. I personally don't agree with it, since that sounds like Fan Myopia, but that's how it is.

So, now what? Do we close this?

I'm in favor of closing this and moving cleanup to a Projects thread. I don't like the idea of keeping this thread in the backlog, considering how many wicks The Dragon has.
