  • Intro needs to be expanded to be a summary of everything known about the article, including the history and whatnot.
    • Please check it. —GethralkinHyperwave 19:00, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
      • I think it's a bit too little context. The idea with Wookieepedia is to be able to tell about any individual article to somebody who has no Star Wars knowledge. Also no sourcing the intro. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 22:11, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
        • Fixed. Please check to see if the context is better arranged. —GethralkinHyperwave 18:28, November 16, 2012 (UTC)
  • Article needs to be told in chronological order instead of starting at 4 ABY, and then going back to 3 ABY.
  • The body seems to say Scimitar 2 was actually flown during the Battle of Endor, but clearly that was not the case as Jonus can be clearly seen trying to evacuate the Death Star before its destruction, and thus very clearly saw no action. I don't think we can see it in Return of the Jedi either.
  • Missing a behind the scenes section.
  • Most importantly, this article is definitely eligible for at least GA status, not CA. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 01:20, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
    • Not quite 200 words, but even without a bts (which I will add later today) I will see what I can do to expand it to GA length. —GethralkinHyperwave 19:00, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
  • At 234 words now, but there's some info missing: Sienar Fleet Systems, Death Squadron, and TIE series are all exclusive to the infobox and need to be mentioned in the article proper. The BTS should also mention the Pocketmodel TCG. Seems like it'll be over 250.
  • Also, Rebellion era is an out-of-universe descriptor and can't be used outside of the infobox.
  • (First mentioned) should appear somewhere in the "Sources" section.
  • Aaaaaaand the second Death Star could use some context. Menkooroo (talk) 08:34, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
  • I think it might be better to just archive this thing rather than post any objections, given that this is clearly at least a GA at best. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 23:12, November 29, 2012 (UTC)
    • I am trying to address any issues before I put it there, but if it's archived I won't mind. Just trying to get it up to par. —GethralkinHyperwave 18:59, November 30, 2012 (UTC)
      • Please give it one more once over to see if I answered the above objections. Adding more objections is not necessary, because I am going to move it to GA. However, I want to make sure that anything here has been satisfied up to this point. Thanks. —GethralkinHyperwave 02:04, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

  • Also as I believe this TIE bomber was in Empire Strikes Back, have you checked for it in the adaptations, as well as any sources that mention the scene in question? Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 01:20, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
    • Hanzo added this into the hidden blank CANom below, so I'm assuming this is the one he meant. Cade Calrayn GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit 01:12, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
      • Actually about the Empire Strikes Back appearance: can it be proven that this was one of the TIE Bombers from the film? Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 22:11, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
        • Yeah, I reviewed the ESB asteroid footage and the only TIE bombers I could find were not shown at the angle depicted in the image. So, it can't even be speculated that way, and looks more like Decipher's usual use/manipulation of ESB production stills than a capture from the film. I've removed the reference. —GethralkinHyperwave 17:03, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
  • Exams and finals are taking a lot of my time, so I am working on this when I can. Thanks. —GethralkinHyperwave 18:59, November 30, 2012 (UTC)
