  • You should briefly collectively mention the other Clantaani Fett captured in the Intro, such as: "The bounty hunter Jango Fett claimed the reward, along with several other bounties posted on Two-Guns' Clantaani associates," or something along those lines. Otherwise, looks perfect. Nice job Bob. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 03:25, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
    • Thanks for stopping by. How's it look now? ~SavageBOB sig 07:09, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

  • If the CSWE confirms the killing of Hardwikk, can you put it outside of the game mechanics template? All I got! Menkooroo 08:36, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
    • The CSWE ends "The bounty was claimed by Jango Fett." --Eyrezer 12:09, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
      • It doesn't confirm that Jango kills Hardwikk? This article's bts claims that it does. Menkooroo 12:28, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
        • Well, when a game offers multiple possibilities, and we choose one to represent in the body of an article, we tend to go with whichever outcome is most positive for the player. In this case, killing Hardwikk nets Fett more credits than simply capturing him, so I went with that outcome. Menk, are you saying this needs to be clarified? ~SavageBOB sig 14:45, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
          • The bts states that the CSWE confirms Hardwikk's death at Jango's hands as canon. In the bio, I think that Hardwikk's death should be placed outside of the gamemechanics template, like Longo's death is. Menkooroo 14:58, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
            • Well, I looked at the strategy guide again, and basically each Clantaani character has a "dead or alive" bounty" on his head. "Alive" always nets more money than "dead", except in the cases of Vaneer and Two-Guns, where the two are the same. I've fudged the text to indicate that most of these dudes were "neutralized" since I misunderstood the bounty system when I originally wrote up the article, and I don't think it'd be very elegant to try to indicate that Vaneer was "either captured or killed" in the body prose.
            • That leaves who to put in the template and who not to. Killing or subduing Two-Guns is required to advance the game's plot, so he goes outside game mechanics. Most of the other Clantaani are completely optional, though, and should remain within the templates. Then there's Hardwikk. The CSWE confirms Fett got the bounty, so he could arguably go outside the gamemechanics template. I think stylistically and logically there's nothing wrong with leaving him there, though. Moving him outside the template would require either an abandonment of the chronological list of captures or else a succession of one-sentence paragraphs, some of which are enclosed in gamemechanics templates and some of which are not. Everything being equal, it makes more sense to leave him in the template, I think, especially as the BTS leaves no doubt as to his capture. ~SavageBOB sig 15:46, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
              • "Behind the scenes" states that Jango definitely claimed the bounty on Hardwikk, while the Biography, by placing him inside the gamemechanics template, asserts that he maybe claimed the bounty. This is a contradiction that needs to be resolved. Be creative if need be. Menkooroo 02:30, June 16, 2011 (UTC)
                • Fair enough, but I'm having trouble thinking of a creative solution. I've used gamemechanics templates, and it's really, really ugly, so I'm open to suggestions. But at least the info that needs to be is set off by the templates. ~SavageBOB sig 03:01, June 16, 2011 (UTC)
