Lant Davan

• Nominated by: Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 11:31, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
• Nomination comments: When I first watched A New Hope, one of my favourite costumes was that of the Alderaanian fleet troopers at the start. So when I first saw Matt 'freaking' Lanter play an updated version of the trooper in The Mandalorian, he became my favourite minor character from the show so far. Successfully GANing this article was one of my prouder moments of 2020 on the Wook as it was the first live-action article I was able to bring to such a high standard. Although further updates brought it above GAN length, I feel ready to bring it to the next stage. So here's to round two.

OOM

• Preliminaries
  • Duplicate links
  • Place of death isn't supported by that ref note
  • Inconsistency between Bothan-5 and Bothan-Five
  • "50 year sentence" — numbers below 100 should be spelled out
  • Context for Karthon Chop Fields
  • "that resembled those of an Imperial stormtrooper" — is this being pointed out because the prop shoes are virtually identical to those worn by stormtroopers, or is it just because they're both white shoes that seem to be featureless on the surface? Comparing the concept art and images of stormtrooper prop shoes, the details seem to vary, and it's not good practice to point out connections when there may be in fact no direct links.
  • Context for A New Hope
  • In the interest of reducing clutter, I think the context in the quote attributions in the BTS section should just be removed
  • Similarly, it's not necessary to say the context in which Lanter said things within the prose. Specifically, I'm looking at the mentions of SYFY and Star Wars Insider here OOM 224 22:15, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
    • All addressed. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 11:08, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
• My edits
  • Thumbs up
• The various mercenaries' species aren't relevant to Davan's character
  • I would rather keep them as it differentiates them better by their context than just calling them all mercenaries.
    • Fair enough OOM 224 21:08, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• "at the ice planet Maldo Kreis" — I'm not familiar with the series, so I just want to confirm if "at" is the correct preposition here
  • Mando is pursued in the planet's atmosphere and then spends the rest of the episode there under the surface, so "at" should cover it.
• "on the side of the helmet" — can you specify which side?
  • Done.
• For Matt Lanter in the BTS, I think you can shorten the list of his portrayals of Anakin to just TCW.
  • Done.
• As with the last objection from the first round, I'd replace phrasing like "told one podcast interview" with simpler words like "said"
  • That look better?
• Watch out for punctuation within real-world dates OOM 224 23:09, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Thumbs up again Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 13:30, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
    • The 2020 date in the last paragraph is missing a comma
      • My bad, sorted. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 14:13, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• For the Karthon Chop Fields, the intro and the Biography use the preposition "in," but the image captions use "at"
• Could use some categories for Davan's occupations OOM 224 21:08, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Both addressed. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 14:13, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Macaroni

• I don't think that the bit about the NR pilots is intro-worthy.
  • Removed. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 23:38, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
• Why do you say "apparently" for the improv bit? It kind of implies it's not from a trustworthy source. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 23:22, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Could only think of a limited number of ways to vary from 'accoriding to'. I'm open to drop apparently if it's not making it work. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 23:38, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Yeah, I don't see any harm in just dropping it. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 02:25, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
      • Tis done. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 03:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
• I don't think mentioning Favreau is necessary here. For example, film article's don't say "George Lucas's 1977 film."
• Similarly, describing Filoni as the director implies that he directed Davan's episode, which is inaccurate.
• A release date and season number should be added for Chapter 14. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 23:49, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
  • All addressed. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 01:31, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
• "and they then chose to betray Djarin and lock him inside a cell." – is this really accurate? In the episode it feels implied to me that it was planned from the start, unless I'm misremembering.
  • I don't think it's very clear, so I've simplified it to give the meaning more leeway.
• Context needed for Anakin. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 00:57, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
  • That good? Considering it's BtS I don't think it needs much. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there}

UberSoldat

• Would like to see a Lant disambiguation page, I just discovered more pages with that name. UberSoldat93 (talk) 11:44, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Done. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 16:24, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
