• Slave should be changed to enslaved (or could be removed entirely and just refer to him as a human) Lewisr (talk) 00:19, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
• The owners field shouldn't be filled in as this isn't an individual/unique item per Wookieepedia:Layout_Guide/In-universe#Infobox Lewisr (talk) 00:19, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Fixed! Mor9347 (talk) 03:52, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
• You only need the release year in the BTS Lewisr (talk) 16:12, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Making my already tiny article even smaller lol, fixed! Mor9347 (talk) 22:14, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

• I've not been able to find the gun anywhere in the film, but since the Expanded Visual Dictionary identifies a prop as the grease gun I don't think we can say that the gun was created for the toy. I'd change it to just saying that the gun was first used for the toy and mention the prop being identified in the dictionary. Ayrehead02 (talk) 17:44, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
  • I also looked through the film for the grease gun but couldn't spot it, how does the BTS entry look? Mor9347 (talk) 03:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
• You should specify which model Anakin used. Ayrehead02 (talk) 17:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
  • How's that? Mor9347 (talk) 22:18, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
• Sorry for the delay! I've been trying to check Star Wars: The Ultimate Action Figure Collection and swear I have a copy, but cannot find it anywhere. Since it covers all Hasbro figures of the line these three packs appear in during the period they were released I'd imagine they'll be in there and may even have additional info since each pack has a little description. I'll keep searching but otherwise I'd ask around on Discord to see if anyone else has a copy. Ayrehead02 (talk) 10:07, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Any luck? Mor9347 (talk) 04:16, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
    • Finally found it on Internet Archive of all places and surprisingly none of the appearances made it in, the Anakin figure is shown without accessories and none of the accessories sets are included at all. Ayrehead02 (talk) 10:48, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

    • Oh wow thank you! I'll have to look through these Mor9347 (talk) 22:00, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
      • Looked through them all and got the information I needed! thank you very much for finding these sources! Mor9347 (talk) 00:03, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
• On a related note, the canon version of this article seems to be the lubricant gun. The Legends article lubricant gun should be retitled as "air gun" (it's identified as such in Star Wars: Head-to-Head Tag Teams, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace: The Expanded Visual Dictionary and Star Wars: The Secret Life of Droids). —DKS MaXoO (talk) 01:16, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Thank you! it has been done. Mor9347 (talk) 13:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Great work! I've added all the sources I could find on the pit droid air gun if by any chance you want to expand this article as well.—DKS MaXoO (talk) 01:07, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
      • That's awesome!! I might have to do that sometime, thank you for all your help! Mor9347 (talk) 03:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
• I'm not sure if that helps, there are two other models of grease guns in the Star Wars: Episode I toy line: see "Podracer Fuel Station" and "Hyperdrive Repair Kit". —DKS MaXoO (talk) 22:55, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • I have no clue how you keep finding all these sources lol, but thank you! added the info! Mor9347 (talk) 06:26, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
    • From the look of it, the grease guns in those two packs have completely different designs to Anakin's one so the article will need to cover the variants. Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:51, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
      • Done Mor9347 (talk) 17:08, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
