The Client

• Nominated by: Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 17:45, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
• Nomination comments: There we have it, the great Werner Herzog as a very chilling Imperial. Another fantastic character to put on the Mandalorian SA list. Thanks goes to those who helped my check with images and sources, especially with the Japanese Manga in play now.

THE Kilji Overlord

• Missing link to blood in the intro.
  • Fixed.
• Maybe this is just personal preference: You don't need to mention the Client's appearances in the Mandalorian in the BTS's first paragraphs. You can mention them later.
  • Chapters 1 and 7 are a given since there's credits to talk about, Chapter 3 is more relevant later, but still fits better under milestones and I'd rather cover them together for consistency.
• You could specify that the Child is the asset in the introduction. Perhaps someone unfamiliar with the topic won't know that. Samonic ^(Talk) 18:42, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
  • How does this look? Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 15:49, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
    • I should have been more clear, my apologies. I meant that you should state that "the Child" nickname = asset. Samonic ^(Talk) 16:01, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
      • I don't understand what you mean, I just specified that he called Grogu the asset. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 16:22, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
        • Addressed on Discord. Samonic ^(Talk) 17:21, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

CC-8

• The part of the BTS about Filoni's first time directing in live action should specify that he only worked in animation prior to that Commander Code-8 ^{Hello There!} 04:07, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
  • How does that look? Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 14:41, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

UberSoldat

• Din Djarin's name needs another source, especially here since it was not revealed before Chapter 8.
  • This should work.
• We don't need to specify the director for live-action projects, since several people are involved in them.
  • Chow and Filoni are both mentioned regarding their work with Herzog further along in the BtS, it makes sense to attribute them to their projects at the start since the sources make it clear the two worked with Werner.
    • Sure. UberSoldat93 (talk) 05:26, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
• The camtono info in the BTS isn't really relevant to the Client himself.
  • It's at one point the Client's prop, so I would argue that it is relevant here.
    • Prop info is relevant to the articles covering those props, not the article covering the character. We wouldn't specify on every individual stormtrooper article that the E-11 rifles are Sterling submachine guns, for example. UberSoldat93 (talk) 05:26, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
      • Ok, removed. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 09:39, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
• "Herzog disliked the decision, considering the Child's practical look to be a great step forward for filming,[15] and reportedly told the creators to commit to the magic of the puppet, calling them all cowards,[22] including Favreau and Filoni, who were involved with the shoot." Run-on sentence, please reword.
  • How does this look?
    • Good work. UberSoldat93 (talk) 05:26, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
• Reviewing Note: Please see how external citations should be formatted. UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:19, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
  • Noted, thank you. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 14:51, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Ziara

• it would be helpful to mention why the beskar was important to Din, as context for this line - the Client remarked that the beskar belonged back into the Mandalorians' hands, adding that it was good to restore the natural order of things.[2] BloodOfIrizi (talk) 02:04, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Moved a chunk of context to the first mention of beskar. That should set the context up. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 12:39, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

The Imp

• I'm not seeing the need for the existing references to be different between the infobox and the body, let's be consistent there.
  • How does this look?
• Another thing needing consistency is the use of the Client vs. "the Client" in the article's text, quote captions, and image captions.
  • This should be better.
    • It...is still inconsistent between the text, the quotes, and the images. Imperators II^(Talk) 10:53, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
      • Forgot about the captions, is that better? Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 11:09, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
• intro: you're saying "in Nevarro City cantina" but it seems to me that phrase is missing an article, either the definite or the indefinite one. Which is it?
  • Converted it to it's non-conjectural name for intro and body.
• You should note when Grogu is first introduced that he was also known as the Child, because it's not normal to just casually start at one point to refer to a character with a capitalized "Child" out of nowhere. :P
  • Done.
• While we're on the topic of Grogu's name(s), should "the asset" not be put in quotes at all times? It's not exactly a neutral term to refer to the character.
  • Donezo.
• "The job": "Rather than providing the traditional puck and chain code, the Client wished to meet the hunter who accepted the job face to face and provided chits for them to visit his safe house. Many bounty hunters from the Guild accepted the job" — please vary the repeated uses of "accepted the job".
  • How's that looking?
• "Nostalgia": "He believed the late faction provided every system it affected with peace[5] and prosperity and saw it as the only one worth pursuing" — does the cited source use the term "pursue" when referring to the Empire? Seems a rather odd choice of words.
  • Me trying to make exotic wording and making it more awkward again. Fixed. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 11:34, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
• "Production and characterization": "He was deeply fascinated by the technology of The Mandalorian's set, the Volume, calling it a step out of the "obsolete" use of green screens" — personally I've no idea what this "the Volume" is, is it something that we can/should have an article for? if not, perhaps at least an external link, just for context/further info?
  • Essentially, The Volume is a type of filming set, and the implementation of StageCraft (the technology). But from what I know there's multiple Volumes (at least one in America and one in UK) which are used for projects outside of Star Wars as well, though it was made for The Mandalorian. I've gone and linked the relevant Wikipedia article as I feel that's the most sufficient thing to do. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 09:43, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
• "Werner would like to see the baby": "The guy who are moving the eyes and the lips and the facial expressions" — some grammar weirdness going on there. If it's correct, I'd recommend a [sic]. Imperators II^(Talk) 15:48, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
  • The mistake is my own. Fixed. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 11:34, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
