  • The palpatine quote in the Legacy section is missing a couple of quote marks that divide the two lines of dialogue. Fan26 (Talk) 16:40, January 3, 2019 (UTC)
Tommy
  • Are those images digital? They seem quite grainy. Tommy Imperial Emblem Macaroni 19:24, February 9, 2019 (UTC)
    • Yes, they are. That's just the quality of the DE II digital edition. QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 21:14, February 9, 2019 (UTC)
  • I think the mention of the I-7 Howlrunner would fit better in Equipment rather than Powers and abilities.
  • Could you mention the colour of his lightsaber?
    • Done. Although I'm admittedly on the fence regarding this, seeing how Dark Empire is notorious for depicting everyone, Jedi and darksiders alike, with the same kind of blue-bladed lightsabers. This is probably caused by backgrounds being primarily red, so red lightsabers would have blended in with those. Or maybe they just didn't care. QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 19:56, March 17, 2019 (UTC)
      • Okay, after hearing that explanation I don't really mind either. Feel free to change it back if you'd like. Tommy Imperial Emblem Macaroni 20:32, March 17, 2019 (UTC)
        • I actually do think it's best to change it back, for QGJ's reasoning. We know Sedriss, who does use a red lightsaber, is also depicted with this neutral blue in these comics, which gives us enough reasonable doubt for Goir's saber. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:05, March 18, 2019 (UTC)
  • "In 10 ABY, the Emperor met his demise once again in battle with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and his sister, Leia Organa Solo, near the New Republic Pinnacle Base.[...][10]" The reference does not mention Luke or Leia's involvement so could you cite that bit to just the comic and then use the date ref for just the date. Tommy Imperial Emblem Macaroni 20:53, March 12, 2019 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • Preliminary question: Does the comic actually say his yellow eyes are a result of his darksideness? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 04:45, February 19, 2019 (UTC)
    • No, not explicitly. I've made some changes to make it more ambiguous. QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 11:02, February 20, 2019 (UTC)
      • Very well, but then I would probably suggest just moving "A light-skinned individual with a yellow glow in his eyes" into the P/T, since there's no explicit connection. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:43, February 20, 2019 (UTC)
  • Does any source actually formally identify it as the "Battle of Balmorra"?
    • Yes, a number of sources do, including The Essential Guide to Droids and General Veers' databank entry. I've sourced the usage of the name in the Bts to the former book. QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 07:55, February 22, 2019 (UTC)
      • Ok, but you don't actually need to source that, and I'd prefer if you didn't for the same rationale as the "special reference" discussion we had recently. I just wanted to make sure the term was being used appropriately in the article. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:34, February 22, 2019 (UTC)
        • I see. I remember being asked to source the names of battles previously. I suppose we no longer do that, similar to the whole starship stuff. QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 10:09, February 23, 2019 (UTC)
  • I'd prefer a more descriptive subsection title than simply "Balmorra" Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:25, February 22, 2019 (UTC)
    • Does this work? Sounds a bit cheesy, but then again, so is the source material :) QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 07:55, February 22, 2019 (UTC)
      • I'd still prefer something a little less...editorial. I was expecting you to do something like Battle of Balmorra or something similar. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:34, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

  • Do you think the Dark Side Adept can really be considered as an affiliation? Its article suggests that it's merely a generic term to describe any dark side users.
    • According to the CSWE, Dark Side Adepts were: Members of the reborn clone Emperor's New Imperial Council, they were drawn from the ranks of the Emperor's cohorts in the dark side, trained by him, and turned into poweful practicioners of the Force. (The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, Vol. I, p. 168 ("Dark Side Adepts")) Based on this, it's clear that the term refers to a specific group of individuals in service of Palpatine, and our article on the topic is simply inaccurate. QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 14:27, March 12, 2019 (UTC)
  • Again in Affiliations, can the Dark Side Elite be put under the Star Wars: Dark Empire?
    • Based on my reasoning above, I think it's better be kept as a subdivision of "Dark Side Adept." QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 14:27, March 12, 2019 (UTC)
  • Do we really need double references for this? "He was considered to be the highest-ranking member of the Dark Side Elite after Sedriss QL,[7][8]" TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 23:23, March 5, 2019 (UTC)
