Object

Green Tentacle
  • Prelude: "Ackbar—a valuable leader and a military genius" POV? Was considered a military genius or something would be better.
    • How's that?
  • The battle: You say "Imperial-class Star Destroyer" four times. Since it's the only one there, Star Destroyer would be sufficient after the first mention.
    • Done
  • TIE Fighters is capitalized in a couple of places but interceptors and bombers are lower case. Green Tentacle (Talk) 18:14, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
Kessel
  • Can the intro be expanded? I'd like to see some more on the battle itself --- on the fleet actions, or on the kind of ships they encountered, or what the casualties were, or something. Currently, the intro has a single sentence describing the actual battle, which doesn't seem quite right when the battle is the article's subject. Does that make sense?
    • Sure it does, Menkooroo! How's this look? Menkooroo 04:15, October 18, 2011 (UTC)
  • Where is Serra when he locates the shield generator? The sentence kind of makes it seem like he's part of the boarding party, but then it says he radioed them. Is he on a ship? If so, how does he locate the shield generator?
    • Took a stab at it based on Serra's article. Menkooroo 04:15, October 18, 2011 (UTC)
  • All from me. Excellent stuff! Menkooroo 06:24, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
    • You smell bad. Menkooroo 04:15, October 18, 2011 (UTC)
