Object

and he died as they did being cut down as mindless creatures. Reword. I don't like the flow.SoresuMakashi^{(Everything I tell you is a lie)} 01:32, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- Addressed. Plesure doing business with you, Soresu. Let me know if that is satisfactory.—Tommy9281 ^{(Peace is a lie)} 01:44, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
  - The pleasure is all mine. May our next encounter be just as productive. : P SoresuMakashi^{(Everything I tell you is a lie)} 04:43, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Ackbar:
- His getting the plague should be stated before Maladi finds out. And the rakghouls should probably be identified earlier, even if Reave didn't know the name of them. Saying the creatures or whatever seems a bit unnecessary.
  - Addressed.
- ~~Info exclusive to intro: "whose healing powers Krayt wanted to exploit to rid himself of his Yuuzhan Vong biot infestation."~~
  - Addressed.
- "He was also an able military commander" — I don't think that's really supported at all. There are plenty of instances, in real life and Star Wars, of people being in charge of a significant amounts of troops but not being competent military commanders. I'm not sure "entire garrison" really means much, anyway, cause "garrison" doesn't really designate a particular size, but a role. Lastly, did the garrison really cover the entire planet?
  - Addressed.
- "His Sith name is derived from the English word "reave," which means "to plunder"." This should be changed to merely state the meaning of "Reave," as we don't definitively know that's where the name came from.
  - Addressed.
  - Possibly more to come later. -- AdmirableAckbar ^(Talk) 11:17, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
The Epic Return of DC
- When you first mention and link Celeste Morne, you mention her as just a female Jedi, then you go right into using her name later in the article. This confuses the reader, so change the link to her article, provide context, and change the sentence and the ones around it so it makes sense.
  - Addressed.
- "In the English language, the word "reave" means "to plunder"." This should be sourced.
  - Addressed.
- That is all. Maybe the return wasn't so epic after all. :P DC 02:41, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
  - Thanks for the review, DC. Please let me know if more is required.—Tommy9281 ^{(Peace is a lie)} 01:09, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
    - ~~One more thing: It isn't really an objection, more or less of a question. Why did you put Sith Magic in italics? DC 17:18, 17 January 2009 (UTC)~~
      - Forgot to change that. It's gone now, and thanks for pointing that out, DC.—Tommy9281 ^{(Peace is a lie)} 17:08, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Falcon Punch:
- "It was there that he encountered the object of Darth Krayt's desire, a former Jedi Padawan named Cade Skywalker, whose healing powers Krayt wanted to exploit to rid himself of his Yuuzhan Vong biot infestation." Can you reword this? The "object of Krayt's desire" bit comes across really...strange. Chack Jadson^(Talk) 14:31, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
  - Lol, addressed. Thanks for reviewing Chack. If more is required, please advise.—Tommy9281 ^{(Peace is a lie)} 16:19, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Cylka:
- Strong in the dark side of the Force, Reave was also able to command telekinesis, something which he used to repel the rakghouls that had swarmed him. - Maybe this could be reworded a bit. It makes it sound as if one needs to be dark sided to use telekinesis.
  - Addressed.
- A good read, Tommy. Cylka^-talk- 07:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
  - Thanks for the review, Cylka. Please advise if anything further is required.—Tommy ^{(Nine two eight one)} 12:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

~~Close to a G, but close only counts in horseshoes.~~ Now over a G.—Tommy9281 ^{(Peace is a lie)} 21:39, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Are there no better quotes from him? The leading one is the personification of Epic Meh. NaruHina ^Talk 04:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

- No, unfortunately there aren't any better ones. Believe me, I'm not thrilled about the lead quote either.—Tommy9281 ^{(Peace is a lie)} 01:09, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
