R5-M2 was "chirping melodically" and its owner Valdez was a known musician. Are those two facts related? Did Valdez program R5-M2 to chirp, or encourage this behavior? Or is this simply a coincidence?- If the information was related, don't you think I would have specified? :) There's nothing unusual about the sounds R5-M2 makes in the film and nothing to connect the information to Valdez. I hadn't even made the connection that you are here, but it seems to me that perhaps "melodically" is not the best word choice. I have changed it to "melodiously," which has a slightly different meaning. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:10, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
R5-M2 seems to use the body of an R2 unit instead of the usual R5 frame. This should be mentioned, even if canon doesn't specify why it's modified. I think some source said that R5 units are easy to customize with this kind of ideas.- I don't really see the need for that to be mentioned, since all R5 units seem to have the same body as R2 units. There's nothing uniquely significant to R5-M2 here. Perhaps that should be mentioned on the R5-series page. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:10, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

routine scouting mission of the base's exterior with Luke Skywalker in which Skywalker ultimately went missing after falling prey to an ambush. A little confusing, since it sounds like Luke was with Han personally, yet he was ambushed. In fact, this really doesn't need to be mentioned at all. Han returning from a scouting mission is all the context that is needed.SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is a lie) 03:25, November 26, 2009 (UTC)- It does actually need to be in there so the reader knows what the article is talking about. That specific scouting mission was rather notable for obvious reasons. And if that isn't explained in the article, then it could refer to any scouting mission Solo went on in general, and the whole point of what is being described is lost.

The first part of the objection though, still stands. The beginning of the sentence makes it seem as if Luke returned with Solo together, before you go on to explain that Luke was ambushed.SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is the truth) 05:20, November 26, 2009 (UTC)- I have tweaked the sentence to read "from conducting a routine scouting mission...with Luke Skywalker," thus avoiding any syntax confusion.
