THrawnChiss7

• Mentioned in a trading card, should be added to sources and also has new information. ThrawnChiss7 ^{Assembly Cupola} 13:43, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Card Trader version is already there, as is the information from it. UberSoldat93 (talk) 10:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Objection(s) overridden by Inquisitorius 22:17, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Braha

• Even if indirectly, linking Green Squadron for the Teralov parts would be beneficial imo.
  • Done. UberSoldat93 (talk) 20:08, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
• Does anything link Skerris is a captain in the 2 BBY events before the Mothma pursuit section? Feels weird seeing "in 2 BBY" and then "by 2 BBY" Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 18:13, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Reworded. UberSoldat93 (talk) 20:08, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
• Can the 7th Fleet get a mention in the body? That affiliation definitely belongs beyond the categories. Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 21:53, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Sure. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:59, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

spookly

• Hair/eye/skin ref infobox refs should match the PT ones.
• Same thing for the affiliations too, I think, noticed Skystrike as one that was different between the two offhand.
  • Changed them up, have a look. UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:42, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
• Current standard would have "disabling" from the intro and the body's two usages of "cripple" replaced with synonyms.—spookywilloww^talk 20:03, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
  • I wasn't aware this was a standard, and I'm not sure what synonyms I can use when referring to technology. Could you point me to some examples? UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:42, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
    • I imagine both words could be swapped out for some form of damage/damaged, or by using incapacitate or impair, with a bit of retooling. Other options that might work as well come up in symonym checkers online. 'Tis good to catch these usages as we find them, as the admins continue to find and remove them onsite, per Fandom guidelines.—spookywilloww^talk 16:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
      • Done, this does make writing more tricky, especially for certain scenarios e.g. ion cannons vs. shields. UberSoldat93 (talk) 16:37, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
        • It's proven so, but we do have a sitewide list to trawl through to change each instance. Does seem though that there's a few lingering usages of "disable" to nick out as well.—spookywilloww^talk 16:42, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
          • Also done. UberSoldat93 (talk) 16:51, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Approved as a Featured article by Inquisitorius 10:51, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

• Please note that I am unable to secure Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season Three, Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season Four, and Star Wars Rebels (webcomic). If anyone owns these sources, please let me know. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:56, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
  • I have the Rebels webcomic, and it only adapts season one, so Skerris does not appear. Rsand 30 (talk) 14:37, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
• I am also aware of the upcoming Thrawn: Alliances comic, I will add images from it as necessary when it releases. UberSoldat93 (talk) 08:04, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

1. For ThrawnChiss'; card has been swapped to Topps version, but has been technically solved/replied to for 2 weeks.—spookywilloww^talk 18:06, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
