- One thing:
"which inspired Rho and the other patrons to depart." This gives the impression that they left because she had a bad voice (that's what I got from it, at least). While I've never seen the Holiday Special, I don't think that's what happened, so a change in wording would be helpful. Please tell me if I'm mistaken.Chack Jadson (Talk) 13:06, 14 July 2008 (UTC)- Reworded. :P Thefourdotelipsis 06:52, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
There's a bit of unnecessary repetition in the P&T. "Although his homeplanet of Tatooine provided scant opportunity for enterprise," "most of the jobs on Tatooine involved both" and "and was constantly unemployed. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, however, Rho's enterprising came to the fore, and he took full advantage of Luke Skywalker's fame" don't seem particularly relevant to me and reiterate in similar terms what's been said in the bio. If you think they all merit inclusion, please tell me, but I would request that you change it around a bit or remove at least one of the quoted sentences. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 12:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)- I've axed one of the sentences—I think it's important to present information in a different way in the P/T, but I agree that non-stop repetition is just pointless.

His attempt to dance with Ackmena and subsequent dramatic removal from the cantina by Tork might be worth noting. -- Ozzel 23:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Having finally blanked out the Holiday Special from my memory, I'm assuming he doesn't say anything for a lead quote? Also, per Skippy on the Yoda Stories screenshot. Green Tentacle (Talk) 18:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)- He doesn't. Also...Yoda Stories is kinda very out of print. :P I'll try and get my hands on a screenshot, but it won't be readily available, I'm guessing. Especially since he appears randomly.

- Then I won't hold things up. But it would be good if you can get one from somewhere later. Green Tentacle (Talk) 16:26, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

- Toprawa:
After reading the Databank entry, I'm not sure a "new era of freedom" would necessarily place him in the New Republic era. 4 ABY could just as easily be under the Alliance of Free Planets: "were presented under the New Republic."Toprawa and Ralltiir 16:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)- Well, the Skywalker tour persisted beyond 4 ABY, I believe, and the Alliance of Free Planets was never really a dominant galactic power.

- One screen capture from Yoda Stories would be appreciated.--Skippy Farlstendoiro 12:53, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- I removed references to Palpatine's "first" death in the intro, because I don't think it's necessary; saying "he died" is not incorrect. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 12:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
