  19. Now that Rozatta is finally mentioned before her death occurs. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 20:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Overall, it's a good article, but if it's missing information, I have to strike my support until that info is added. I'll be happy to vote for it after that. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 23:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

  • Jediknight19bby 21:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Unsourced quote. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Quotes in prose, and a few unsourced statements in the BtS, but otherwise, fine. .... 22:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Severely lacking in detail to the point where, unless you've read the sources, it's almost impossible to understand what actually happened. Havac 19:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I want more sources for the "Weapons" section. --Imp ATATatarismall.png 06:40, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Breaks Rule 9; I recall that Jango appears in some Tales stories and those aren't mentioned in the article. Atarumaster88 01:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I know for sure there's a story in volume 6 and a non-canon in vol. 5. Atarumaster88 20:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
  • There's nothing on the Star Wars Adventures Books, and if there is, it's not cited Rules 3 & 9. Cull Tremayne 03:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  • .In the introduction, the fact that Jango destroyed the Death Watch could be mentioned. It jumps straight from the Mandalorian Civil War to Jango's bounty hunting days, without even mentioning his prison time or the Death Watch's destruction.
  • Rozatta is never mentioned at all in the article before it jumps straight to her death. She, and her affiliation with Jango, need to be mentioned before her death.
    • Okay, there's some mention now. Could be more detailed, but I can't be too picky, I suppose. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 20:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Mention the fact that the Infant of Shaa was created on Seylott, so it can be understood why Jango returned it there for safekeeping. Otherwise, it just seems to be a random location.
  • In the non-canon information from Tales 1-20, it is not clear whether Boba or Jango killed Larbo.
  • I haven't read The Warlords of Balmorra, but if possible, a little information about how Jango and Aurra Sing captured the three bounties should be added.
    • Not all that necessary either, but it would be better with a bit of detail. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 04:30, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • There is no proof that Mace Windu used the force to move silently to sneak up on Jango and Dooku; if there is, source it.
    • I just deleted the line. I couldn't find the source for it anywhere. Darthchristian (Hey!) 13:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Possibly move the Darth Traya quote above the paragraph describing Jango's death. That's just a suggestion, since I think it would look better.
  • Possibly add an image of Jaster's Legacy.

Well, that's basically my critique at this late hour. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 06:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

  • From the desk of Atarumaster88
  • Rather sketchy coverage from Bounty Hunter; could definitely be fleshed out more.
    • Is this okay? --Jango Fett107(Comlink) JaingHead 03:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
      • It's better, but it still doesn't provide reasoning or detailed explanations of the events. Yes, I realize it's from a video game, but it's very choppy. I'll give you an example of the prose as of when I see it, and then I'll provide an example of what I'd like to see (or something similar) throughout the whole section.

      • Current revision
        • Fett’s journey began on Coruscant, where there were rumors that the Bando Gora was behind some strange deathstick shipments. Jango pursued a low-life deathstick dealer, Jervis Gloom, throughout the entertainment district, and forced him to reveal who he was working for. This led Jango to a nerf processing plant, in search of its owner, Groff Haug.
      • Something I would like more
        • Fett began his search for the deranged Bando Gora in Coruscant's entertainment district after learning that the Bando Gora were behind some strange deathstick shipments. Jango pursued a low-life deathstick dealer, Jervis Gloom, through the entertainment district, taking down any of his associates who tried to stop him. Once Jango caught up with Gloom, he forced him to reveal the name of his employer so the bounty hunter could work his way up through the dealing network back to the secretive Bando Gora. The information that Fett obtained from Gloom led him to a nerf processing plant in search of its owner, Groff Haug, who Gloom told him was connected to the Bando Gora. Again Fett battled through guards and mercenaries in the plant while evading the hazards of the large industrial environment, only to find that Montross, who was also hunting Vosa, had already reached Haug first and killed him in a carbon freezer. . .

  • Needs information from the first young adult Boba Fett novel. (Fight to Survive)
    • It was already there, but, addressed. --Jango Fett107(Comlink) JaingHead 16:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
      • Hmm, I seem to recall Jango doing a bit more in the book. His parenting of Boba was fleshed out in more detail, as was his legacy. Actually, the whole article could benefit from a Legacy section, added in after his death, and it should reflect how his code and contacts helped Boba survive. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 18:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Ships section needs some expansion.
  • Referencing errors- blank fields appear in scrollbox at the bottom.
  • No information from Jedi starfighter.
  • No mention of non-canon info from Tag and Bink.
  • No information from Full of Suprises
  • Relationships section? I mean, this guy barely had any romance, but Sheeka Tull deserves a mention.
  • No informaation from the first one or two levels of Bounty Hunter (i.e. stopping that animal fight, losing his jetpack, etc.)
  • I too am concerned with the lack of information in key areas. Inqvote Thefourdotelipsis 00:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Comments

  • Striked my objection, but I still agree with Havac. The level of detail is so low, that if I had never seen or read the books, my perception of the character would be severely lacking. Cull Tremayne 06:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
  • As Cull says, the detail could use quite a bit of work. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 04:33, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Overall, it now looks fixed up enough to be a FA, but I really do think the Rozatta thing has to be fixed, otherwise it throws a huge wrench in the flow of the article. I'll vote for it once that's fixed. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 04:30, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I've struck my support for the time being, since there are now some major points which need to be addressed. Once they've been addressed and reviewed, I have no problem re-adding my support. Cheers, Greyman(Paratus) 00:31, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Per Greyman. An article missing info shouldn't be a FA. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 23:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
