Object

Floyd McFloyd:
- ~~Context on Jabba in the intro.~~
- ~~You mention in the body that he attends a meeting at the Republic Executive Building. Give context on it. Where is it?~~
- That's it. Good job. IFYLOFD ^{(You will pay the price for your lack of vision!)} 00:49, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
  - Done, done, and thank you. Darth Trayus ^{(Trayus Academy)} 04:07, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
Blacklist:
- ~~What is X-C33?~~
  - No idea. It's mentioned once with no context.
    - Well it's obvioiusly a drug of some sort. I've taken care of it.—Tommy9281 ^{(No truth in me)} 23:17, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
- ~~I would mention in the P&A that he wielded a lightsaber. Mention the blade color as well.~~
  - Done.
- Very well done, TCW considered ;)—Tommy9281 ^{(No truth in me)} 00:13, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
  - Thank you for the review! :) Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 22:31, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
Toprawa:
- I had wrestled with whether to make this an objection or not, but I couldn't get over the nagging feeling it gives me. This sentence sounds sort of like your personal extrapolation of information, and even sort of comes off as POVish. Does the episode or any other source literally say he was "ideal" for this task? Otherwise, I would suggest rewording/removing: "This made him an ideal keeper for the Kyber crystal, as the information on it represented future generations of Jedi Knights." Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:44, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
  - This is a bit of a personal extrapolation POVity. I do think there is an obvious correlation between the two however, so I altered the sentence. Does it work now or would it be best to remove it entirely?Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 22:46, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
    - Much better. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:12, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

In response to your request on my talk page: everything from the novel is basically there. The only other detail that might be worth a mention is that only Windu and Unduli spoke; their views on rescuing Jabba's son are essentially the same as in the film (though of course, Unduli doesn't speak there). It's up to you whether you can fit it in or not. CC7567 ^(talk) 05:47, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Added in a small note. Thanks for the info. Darth Trayus ^{(Trayus Academy)} 06:13, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
I went through each section and fixed typos. Trak Nar ^{Ramble on} 05:51, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks Trak. I was going through and realizing how many I had but you beat me to it. =PDarth Trayus ^{(Trayus Academy)} 06:13, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
At one point, we had (Pronunciation (help·info)) in the intro. Someone ought to work out the IPA for it and put it back in. I'm not making this an objection, because it's not mandatory, but it would be pretty sweet. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk) 19:49, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
- I put the audio in there, but I have no clue how to work out IPA translations. Any help on that would be much appreciated. And have we decided to start putting audio files in titles or was that just a test/mistake? Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 20:10, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
  - That was a test. We're working out how to deploy pronunciation help and that was the most readily available file for it. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk) 20:18, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
