Oppose

  1. Something:
    • "They were slowly turned to the dark side of the Force, made absolutely loyal to Sidious, and trained to wield lightsabers." Ummm, is this suggested or something within the comic? I ask because I don't remember the group practicing with lightsabers. I thought the group that Gwellib was in was rounded up following the end of the Clone Wars. This first section seems to suggest that even before the Empire, Palpatine was kidnapping young people and imprisoning them so that they would be subject to the Dark side. Also, Tremayne's article makes no mention of this.
      • Palpatine says "Agricultural Corps survivors and other Force Adepts captured during the war." So while the majority of them were brought to Byss in 19 BBY, Palpatine had begun gathering them before. I've removed the bit about lightsabers; not sure why I added that.
    • "Gwellib, not wishing to duel Tremayne's three lightsabers," Mind giving a quick explanation of how Tremayne was wielding three lightsabers simultaneously?
      • Added.
    • "Tremayne was sent to hunt down several rogue Jedi while the others continued their training, though Gwellib, Halmere, and Pasiq soon had to assist the Human." Using "Human" as a synonym here is a bit odd, especially since only Gwellib is an alien. Can another word be used here?
      • Changed.
    • "They ordered the criminals to return to their cabins—bar Zonder, who they wanted to take back to Vader." So Sonta's affiliates were criminals? Can this be made more explicit in the previous sentence perhaps?
      • Well, they were criminals because they were aiding Jedi, though that's not explicitly stated, so I've changed it.
    • "Gwellib, Lanu Pasiq, and Halmere were also easily outmaneuvered by Zonder and his allies in 19 BBY, when they opted to use blasters instead of their lightsabers." Who was using the blasters?
      • Clarified.
    • Nice job. Cull Tremayne 06:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • I'd recommend that you swap the Dark Empire and the Evasive Action images of him around, since the Evasive Action one doesn't fit the infobox. Thefourdotelipsis 22:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
    • JMAS already has done, though I'm not entirely sure I like it. I think it's to do with the colouring of the SWE image as opposed to DE, but it looks kinda weird and loses its sinister effect, IMHO. Maybe if one of our image experts has a copy of Dark Empire they can scan the image from there and see if it looks better. I just think it looks odd as is. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 22:48, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Does it look a little better now? I darkened it some. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 00:53, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
        • It does look better, but it still doesn't like right to me. I still think the Evasive Action one looks better, and it also means the pictures can correspond with the different sections' time periods. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 12:39, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
          • Well, this is your nomination. I'd suggest you swap it back the way you think the article looks best and see what the other Inquisitors think about it. If anyone of the others raise the same objection as Fourdot, you can always change it back to how it is now. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 13:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
