The Twi'lek and pirate racers will both need articles as will the two referees.Ayrehead02 (talk) 15:09, April 4, 2016 (UTC)Could the intro be expanded a tiny bit, maybe to mention the two different races, or at least the final one with Drako.Ayrehead02 (talk) 00:37, April 5, 2016 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure if the disambiguation for Oliver Novachez is necessary, given that his "Ollie" is a nickname that doesn't even match and the material in which they appear is so disconnected. Nevertheless, I'll leave the final decision to your judgment.ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:54, April 10, 2016 (UTC)- I also don't think it's needed. (I only included it on the chance that someone would mention it.) Cwedin(talk) 20:11, April 10, 2016 (UTC)
- Glad I could verify your feeling about it, then. ProfessorTofty (talk) 20:31, April 10, 2016 (UTC)

Found and corrected "Skywaker" in the intro. Given this, it might be a bad idea to give the article another sweepthrough to make sure there aren't any other errors like this. I didn't spot anything else myself, but my eyes don't always catch everything.ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:54, April 10, 2016 (UTC)For the final sentence, I think the active voice would maybe be better. Perhaps "Skywalker remembered Oolie as he reminisced about his past ten years of adventures."ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:54, April 10, 2016 (UTC)

I assume skywalker retired from racing due to the incident, but you need to make it clearer in the body. The way it is now sounds like the incident forceably ended his career, rather than skywalker choosing to retire as a result of the incident. Other than that it looks good!

I would be careful about your claims in regards to calling Coruscant an "ecumenopolis"; this is very specific in-universe nomenclature, which I'm just assuming cannot be sourced to Anakin: Apprentice. Moreover, I would ask for a specific source to cite Coruscant being the "galactic capital," because not every source outwardly refers to it as such. A simple way around all of this is just calling it the capital planet of the Republic, which either Anakin: Apprentice or another straightforward source will be able to properly cite.- Done. (In-universe nomenclature... Ha! I can't tell the difference anymore.)
Unless NEC directly references the events of Anakin: Apprentice, you should explain in reference 3 how exactly you're arriving at the 22 BBY date.Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:40, June 28, 2016 (UTC)- I removed the NEC and added a more straightforward source. Did I format it correctly? - Cwedin(talk) 06:28, June 29, 2016 (UTC)
- You've got the right idea, but I would suggest using another reference, just because this link is forcing you to use an archived and outdated version. It would be best to still stick with NEC, but use it as the basis for a full reference note. An example would be something like: "The New Essential Chronology dates the events of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones to 22 BBY. The scene from Anakin: Apprentice in which Anakin Skywalker reminisces about Ollie takes place shortly following the film's assassination attempt on Senator Padme Amidala." Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 14:55, June 29, 2016 (UTC)
- Done. - Cwedin(talk) 16:44, June 29, 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, but is that reference note actually correct? I just intended that as an example without really being familiar with the source material. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:08, June 29, 2016 (UTC)
- It is. (The book has a framed narrative, beginning with Obi-Wan telling Anakin about the events, Anakin reminiscing, and then the two entering the turbolift from the film.) - Cwedin(talk) 17:15, June 29, 2016 (UTC)
