Object

1. IFYLOFD:
   • OK. First of all, in the intro provide more context on the Clone Wars, and how Palpatine branded the Jedi as traitors.
     • Added.
   • Context on Windu.
     • Added.
       • Still none in the intro. IFYLOFD ^{(You will pay the price for your lack of vision!)} 01:50, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
         • Ah. Added. NaruHina ^Talk 07:09, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
   • State how Vader was a Jedi in the intro,
     • Added.
   • IIRC, Operation: Knightfall wasn't really part of Order 66. It took part after its issuance, and is more of a full-on assault on the Jedi Temple.
     • You are correct, and the article reflects that.
       • I was commenting on the phrase "initiating a massacre under the authority of Order 66", which reflects the exact opposite. IFYLOFD ^{(You will pay the price for your lack of vision!)} 01:50, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
         • Whoops, fixed. NaruHina ^Talk 07:09, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
   • Context on the duel between Windu and Sidious and how it started.
     • Added.
   • More context on Skywalker and Sidious' relationship, how Sidious was trying to turn Skywalker to the dark side.
     • Added.
   • State that Windu actually died. You just say that his arm was cut off.
     • Added.
   • I think the Prelude section should be expanded in general.
     • Done. NaruHina ^Talk 10:05, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
   • "Marching silently to the gates of the Temple with a legion of elite clones," Just say that its the 501st Legion.
     • Done
   • The first two paragraphs in "The battle" should really be merged into the first subsection.
     • I'm not so sure. I think that the actual operation began when he killed Jurokk and marched up the steps with the clones. Also, the transition from extrapolating Order 66 to them marching up the steps if I changed it would be awkward no matter how I could write it. NaruHina ^Talk 22:37, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
   • "Using a piece to break down the door into a study hall," A piece of what?
     • The statue. Fixed.
   • Quote for Hunting the masters and children?
     • Added.
   • Context on the Special Operations Brigade.
     • Added. NaruHina ^Talk 10:59, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
   • Give more context on the Republic's transition to the Empire, since you call Palpatine the Emperor in Aftermath without any explanation.
     • Added.
   • Mention that Amidala was pregnant before.
     • Added.
   • Watch your linking.
     • I've combed the article over and fixed it.
   • The Lego Star Wars game does not show Anakin and the 501st marching on the Temple, it only shows Obi-Wan and Yoda returning to the Temple.
     • Fixed. It appeared breifly in a hologram.

• Excellent article and I've supported it, but are they're any more sources/appearance? It seems a bit lacking for such an influential part in Jedi history. The Flash ^{talk} 17:19, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I've looked and I find it very strange that the event hasn't been mentioned in more material. Any mention of this time period is usually about the general fall of the Jedi, the GJP, than rather Ani storming through the Temple. NaruHina ^Talk 08:45, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
