  • The intro could do with a mention of the Galactic Republic when talking about the Clone Wars. Either the standard "between the Republic and the CIS" or somewhat adjacently when talking about the Republic forces involved like how you mentioned Separatists when introducing Grievous.
  • This is very inconsequential but the first sentence of the second para in the BTS seems like it could be cut if you wanted to, as it is more about Murphy himself or the actual comic and not directly pertaining to Caliban itself. Wok142 (talk) 19:34, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
    • I think, though not direct, it helps ease the flow of the paragraph for when he later states his enjoyment for having designed Caliban and the Qubey specifically, so would rather keep.—spookywillowwtalk 00:03, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
      • No problem, just wanted to bring it up in case. Wok142 (talk) 00:57, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Comments

  • A note: the current {{Gallery}} doesn't have parameters for uncolored comic panels. But, if ever CT'd, I do have the relevant panels saved for if that becomes reality. Though, its also like the majority of the issue given how many pages it is, so probably just the important ones (copyright issues and that given how much of it).—spookywillowwtalk 03:53, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
  • It seems pretty obvious that the comic issue featuring this moon is based on The Bridge on the River Kwai, which has the exact same premise and stars Alec Guinness of all people. There's probably no current source confirming that the similarities here were intentional, and it probably wouldn't warrant more than a single sentence added to the behind-the-scenes section if so, but it might be worth asking the author about it if ever possible, even if not for this article specifically.

    • Unfortunately he doesn't follow back any of the Wook's socials back so unable to DM the author. But will update if/when able to ask if he does in the future.—spookywillowwtalk 18:19, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
