Prepare to be savaged…
Just two:
"Another booth-based reshoot alien, this walking skeleton with the anguished face was based on original illustrations by Ralph McQuarrie. It was nicknamed "Skull Head," and was to have the proper name of Kull." Is this quote from Cantina Roll-Call: Shedding Light on Some Alien Aliases? If so, I'd attribute it to Pablo Hidalgo and link to our article here.- Oooooh, nice find. I didn't know we had an article on that. Do you think that Ref [14] should point to said article, or is the sw.com link better?
If official sources are claiming he appears in A New Hope, do we really have the clearance to dispute that? ~Savage 15:35, October 29, 2011 (UTC)- I'd say yes. Official sources have been wrong before, such as when they claimed that Cane Adiss isn't in Return of the Jedi (see the BTS of Yuvernian for more on that). I was intrigued by that link you sent me that asserted he was the guy chilling behind Greedo, but I couldn't get anything conclusive out of it. I kept it in mind, however, and tried to word the BTS so as not to conclusively say "Helrot isn't in the film" --- but only the latter two characters are visible on-screen in the final cut of the film.[15] Nevertheless, some official sources claim that Helrot appears in A New Hope.[11][16] It may be a bit weasley, but it doesn't close the book on the possibility of him being somewhere in the cantina. If you think it needs rewording or refinement, let me know. Menkooroo 10:01, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

"Helrot heeded the call and took the Hinthra to Sriluur. Once on-world, Helrot and his crew followed instructions sent to their datapad by Biron and made their way to Meirm City's Docking Bay 42, where they joined a group of other spacers whom the Shistavenan had also invited. Nabrun Leids was among those present." Please smooth this out, possibly condensing into two sentences.- Done. Did some rewording; from "Helrot heeded the call" to "among those present." is now two sentences. Take a look. Menkooroo 10:12, November 10, 2011 (UTC)
- That's all.—Tommy 9281 Wednesday, November 9, 2011, 23:04 UTC
- Thanks for the review that you have... Givin. Menkooroo 12:51, November 10, 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. A suggestion though. "Another trait that Helrot shared with all Givin was the ability to seal his exoskeleton and survive exposure to the vacuum of space.[1] The white and hairless exoskeleton included a pair of sunken black eyes" has "exoskeleton in rather close succession, which is why I attempted to change it. You may want to consider rewording yourself.—Tommy 9281 Thursday, November 10, 2011, 18:18 UTC

- Not familiar with Running of the Sisar, is it also possible for Helrot and his crew's being stunned and captured to be avoided all together, as that stuff in the bio is just assuming 100% completion? Hanzo Hasashi 15:28, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
- It doesn't seem like it, no. Even if the characters go with him, they're hidden when Mal's enforcers arrive, and watch it happen from a distance (although Biron is still aware of their treachery). So the stunning of Helrot seems to be presented as an inevitability, with the only optional component being if the players observe it happening or not. Menkooroo 16:26, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
