Panther
  • First off, absolutely stunning article. I think the behind the scenes section should include Resistance head writer Brandon Auman's comments on the character and her original conception as an older Ventress on the Friends of the Force podcast. I've linked it here: [1] It is at about the 46 minute mark. Panther436 (talk) 03:28, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for the interview link! Spooky added the info to the page Lewisr (talk) 15:10, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Imp
  • I think that using an image of Ventress in the BTS would be more illustrative and useful. Imperators II(Talk) 08:54, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Swapped the image of Pablo for one of Ventress Lewisr (talk) 16:55, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Seems like the two plain YouTube citations are duplicates? Imperators II(Talk) 11:18, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
  • This is relatively minor, but would it be possible to turn the Equipment quote's "booming" bit into a more complete sentence, like here? Imperators II(Talk) 14:08, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Tweaked to expand; hope that's what you meant.—spookywillowwtalk 23:23, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Any chance we could get slightly more useful and encyclopedic context for Ventress than "'gone through' a lot"? It really doesn't say much tbh. Also, the next paragraph talks about the Nightsisters, and it would be nice to note in either of the two places that Ventress was also a Nightsister.
  • "taking care to avoid falling downward again" seems like this intro bit is exclusive.
    • Removed from the intro per discussion with Spooky, felt repetitive to include in the body and it's not super critical to be in the intro Lewisr (talk) 22:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Er, are we sure the episode shows Grey's skin to be "tanned"—as in, rendered darker by the effects of sunlight—rather than being that color from birth? (Was this possibly meant instead to say "tan"?)
    • It was indeed meant to be tan, have changed Lewisr (talk) 22:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
  • I feel like the article sometimes notes individuals' species just for the sake of noting them, and does so inconsistently at that. For example, why mention the species of the twins and Grool, but not of many other individuals mentioned in the article? Personally, I'd recommend limiting such mentions to where it's conceivably relevant to the information being relayed. Imperators II(Talk) 14:40, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Point taken, removed the mentions of species names Lewisr (talk) 22:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
DFaceG
  • Her Force sensitivity can probably be mentioned in the intro. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 20:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Added a mention in the first sentence, does that work? Lewisr (talk) 05:40, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
      • Yep! - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 22:41, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
OOM
  • Brilliant article for a brilliant character:
    • I think it's worth mentioning her characterisation of the villagers who fled and "hastily scrawled warnings in their outpost" as "superstitious fools" in the P&T.
    • "The fortune teller and several others prepared to engage with a boarding party" — do we know specifically where in the station this was?
    • "though he returned it to her not long afterward" — the Biography only says Kaz gave it to the pirate. OOM 224 (he/him) 17:31, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
      • Should've gotten to the three; after some discussion with others it was unclear which Colossus marketplace it was due to it being such a brief scene, unfortunately.—spookywillowwtalk 18:49, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
        • Gotcha OOM 224 (he/him) 18:51, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
