In Catalog Requests, utlf writes:    So, let me get this straight: You say there's an issue with Clone Trooper names being too long, yet add tons of fluff to their names anyways? Not everyone here is a loremaster, Clone Trooper (Rank/Unit) would suffice, and if there's variations in print, list that, but there's no need for the facial expression or phase as the phases are easily distinguishable, and most Clone faces are included in the catalog photo I think the problem is searchability. Not everyone on BrickLink is a Star Wars expert, but a lot of people are and they would like to be able to easily search the catalog to find a specific minifigure.

(Part 973pb4437c01) Hey, if anyone has this torso lying around and can take a half-decent picture, please let me know! We can add the decorated arms to the catalog and complete [...] (23 months ago, Jul 3, 2022, to Catalog Requests)
