In the second line of the biography quote, should "dad" be capitalized? I think it should, since it's referring to a specific person. I realize it's a comic and therefore everything is probably in all caps, so you need to make a judgment call here.- I made the call... and I capitalized it! :)
- Not only is that it, but I couldn't even find anything to change in my attempt at a copy-edit. Nice job. Master Jonathan — Jedi Council Chambers Friday, June 17, 2011, 17:24 UTC
- Thanks. ^^ Menkooroo 09:37, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

You pipelink to the Galactic Civil War at the end of the Bio. However, you could probably move that pipelink up to where you say "in the fledgling Alliance's Rebellion against the Galactic Empire."- Done.
Could you fill in the Skin field of the Infobox? That's a field that is often overlooked, and I believe you have the information to fill it in.- Sounds good. I'll need some advice, though. I've never really been sure of the difference between "fair," "light," and "pale," all of which I've seen used for Asian or Caucasian characters. Any suggestions?
- Yeah, I would go with fair, as that is the most common one. Up to you though. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 09:42, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Your choice was fair. Done. Menkooroo 12:40, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

- Otherwise, nice job. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 17:26, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you! Also just a note that I changed the "later" you put in the intro to "ultimately," as the comic implies that he joins the Rebellion pretty shortly afterward. S'OK? Menkooroo 09:37, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

"Antilles's exploits with the Alliance had previously been chronicled in a number of works, including all three films of the original Star Wars trilogy. Although Antilles is a fan-favorite character whose youth has been widely documented in a variety of sources..." - Is this really necessary? I understand you're trying to say that Mala only has one appearance, but this is overdoing it. Besides, it's just information on Wedge.- Yeah, it was a little fluffy. I've done some trimming. I kept in a little bit about Wedge, though, just to give an idea of the overall importance of Mala's role in the Star Wars saga. Wedge's IU significance had already been mentioned in the bio, but I thought a little bit about his OOU significance was in order, too, as it in turn reflects Mala's OOU significance (she's the reason Wedge joined the Rebellion? Whoa! That's crazy!). Thoughts?
- My primary issue is still with that sentence about Wedge - it's BTS info on him that doesn't have anything to do with Mala. The BTS should be focused on her, as you've already explained in the body of the article that Mala's death was Wedge's reason to join the Alliance.

- I mulled over it for a few days, and the result was: Agreement. :) The only stuff about Wedge in the bts now is a brief explanation of why Mala is "The curse of Wedge Antilles." Menkooroo 07:08, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
- Cool. Looks good. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 16:16, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
