First order of business: Please include filming information for Hood's scene in the BTS.UberSoldat93 (talk) 10:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- I added what year the movie was filmed and where the Cloud City scenes were shot, but this scene is not directly referenced in The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back which is the only source I'm aware of that would have when it was filmed. I checked thoroughly before nominating and did not want to assume the 'Lando orders evacuation' scene or the 'R2 lays down fog scene' were the same scene or filmed at the same time due to the nature of things being filmed out of order, etc. I can make that assumption if there's some sort of reasoning or precedent or something. Panther436 (talk) 21:12, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- I've consulted Ayre on if there is more info available, will let you know when he responds. UberSoldat93 (talk) 12:44, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Alright, so the "Lando Orders an Evacuation" scene indeed has specific dates available, as well as the stage, so you need to include those in the article. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:28, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Like I said in my response, I'm aware of that scene having information. However, it is very likely that it is not the same scene Hood appears in because it's in a different location and there's a bunch of scene numbers skipped and not included in The Making of the Empire Strikes Back. Unless there's some sort of reason, I'm not comfortable assuming the scenes are the same just because they occur after each other in the movie. Panther436 (talk) 02:26, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Struck for now, but I was more talking about the scene where Hood briefly runs past Lando and the others. UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:50, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- That's what I was talking about too. Hood's running scene is the one without info Panther436 (talk) 18:37, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Before I dive into this further, mind making a run through similar to what was done on Lanna regarding play-by-play? Gotta love a decent sized FAN for sure tho, looks great.—spookywillowwtalk 05:16, 2 April 2024 (UTC)- Did another pass :) Panther436 (talk) 05:16, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
OOM
- (Review note) It's great to see this brought to the FAN, especially with the new info around Egbert Sen!
"though he did not get through to them" — not sure what this really means in the intro. Can you make this more specific?- Hopefully it's clearer now Panther436 (talk) 23:50, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Hmm, there's an inconsistency between using "on Cloud City" and "in Cloud City," but both prepositions seem correct in the case of this floating city, so I'm not sure if this actually needs to be changed… It would be good if you could check what the source material use though.OOM 224 (he/him) 22:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)- FACPOV:TESB as a whole uses both but "Due on Batuu" only uses "in Cloud City" so I've changed it to that throughout the article. Panther436 (talk) 23:50, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Ambiguous language: "under the radar" and "turned it on them"- Sorry for not being clear. The thing I'm not sure about is whether the blaster was turned around literally to point at the other trooper or if it was fired to shoot at them. OOM 224 (he/him) 19:11, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

There's no need to specify Empire's release date beyond the year. That's only necessary when something else released in the same year. Same for Disney Gallery.- Removed for TESB but Disney Gallery is a tv episode, which the layout guide says does need full dates Panther436 (talk) 19:16, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
I don't think there's a need to specify that the YouTuber is French. I don't think the channel should be linked in the text either.- Removed Panther436 (talk) 19:16, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Egbert Sen is Pakistani (see the article; this info can just be sourced to the Guardian article).OOM 224 (he/him) 18:38, 3 May 2024 (UTC)- Paula and Dolly both specify Indian multiple times in the interview and in Dolly's article which I trust more. However, per your above objection with Delage I've just removed it. Panther436 (talk) 19:16, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

All, here is something interesting! Wilrow recently got a card in Topps Star Wars Living Set, you can find it on the trading card database under "2024 Topps Living Star Wars." However, the card seems to be focused on the Legends lore that its a rebel memory core. Now, you could either treat this as an outdated Legends reference and put it in the BTS.... or you could argue the card is Legends, since Living Set just also released cards for Revan and Nihilus. I'm a little iffy because I feel like that could cause a knock on effect of assorted recent topps stuff being "actually you're legends because we said Willrow was!" But I figured I should present both optionsEditoronthewiki (talk) 19:27, 29 April 2024 (UTC)- That is interesting, thank you for letting me know! I agree that deeming specific cards from a set legends seems impractical, so I just added it to the sources and included a blurb about it at the end of the bts.

I think all of your image sizes can be bumped a bit, probably excepting the comic panel.- Enlarged all but the comic and the stormtrooper one Panther436 (talk) 05:23, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

This pronoun reads a little confusingly, at first I thought he disliked his needs - can you try tweaking the sentence? "He lived in small, dark, brutalist living quarters that suited his needs, but he did not like them."- Addressed Panther436 (talk) 05:23, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Normally linking is a sofixit, but I'll list it here so you get the reasoning - you should delink "dreaming" because this is a metaphorical dream whereas that article is about the sleeping phenomenon.JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 18:11, 21 June 2024 (UTC)- Link seems to have been added in a copy-edit, removed Panther436 (talk) 05:23, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

- Just a heads up that a review of the new LEGO book The Force of Creativity mentions that Hood is included in the book in the context of characters that could be realized by LEGO in the future, so when the book comes out, you'll likely need to complete a small update for that. ThrawnChiss7 Assembly Cupola 19:48, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, it would be good to specify (I think it's fair to assume) that Hood holds a camtono in the LEGO section. OOM 224 (he/him) 20:56, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- I held off on that because the game actually implies it's not a camtono; Hood calls it a "device" and says it has data "on" it (like the Legends memory core version) and then it's seemingly used to actually make ice cream. I added a different clarification/specification bit if that's alright. Panther436 (talk) 21:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
