  2. ACvote Fun read, also found bts info for Pav-ti from this so that was neat. Wok142 (talk) 03:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

  • I'd like to suggest rewording this sentence. "Ahsoka then gurgled, drawing the ferocious feline's attention and fearlessly saving her mother's life." This makes it sound like this was a deliberate courageous action on Ahsoka part. While yes, she wasn't afraid of the giant cat, she gurgled because she's a baby and it was totally incidental that it also happened to save her mother's life.
    • Reworded so it sounds less intentional. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:11, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
  • I realized the audio description says that the raxshir carries Ahsoka into a cave. But the AD have also proven to not be 100% reliable. Watching the episode it is clearly not a cave, but merely an small clearing in the trees.
    • I thought perhaps the cave was off-screen, but watching again that doesn't really work so I've moved it to the bts as an error.
  • Might be good to mention that Pav-ti actually wounded the raxshir's left front leg when she slashed at it with the knife. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 06:14, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
    • I'd missed that and thought it was another stripe. Added. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:11, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

  • While the body says the fur is "yellow with black stripes," the intro says "yellow and black stripes," which is different. I would say both should be yellow with black stripes.
  • The cave bit from the intro should be removed, because as the BTS says, the cave was an erroneous detail and in reality, she was brough to a hollow-type area
  • Description uses talons to refer to the raxshir's claws. Talons are normally reserved for describing avian feet so I would like that to be swapped to claws unless talons is explicitly stated. Claws can also be linked once that is done.
  • Description also says that each foot had four toes with claws but the infobox picture shows five clawed toes on the front paw Wok142 (talk) 18:51, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
    • I think what you're seeing as a fifth clawed toe is actually from the other front paw visible behind the right one. ;) - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 01:16, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
      • Oh you're so right haha. Wok142 (talk) 07:11, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Do you think it's fair to say its diet is carnivorous? Noticed it is in the "Unidentified diet" cat. It is currently cited as a predator via the Story Gallery (presumably the bit about it being about to eat its prey aka Ahsoka), so is that same info not enough to say carnivore? Wok142 (talk) 22:16, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
    • Ah, I forgot to remove the unspecified cat when I added predator, which does specify information about its diet. I wouldn't go as far as to say carnivore though since something can be a predator and still be an omnivore. Ayrehead02 (talk) 23:43, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
      • Ok that makes sense. Wok142 (talk) 03:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Just wanna point out that "Life and Death" is set in 35 BBY, not 35 ABY. Cryelix (talk) 05:53, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
    • This is just a simple factual correction. I went ahead and corrected it, but know it's okay to be bold and just fix simple things like this on your own. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 06:03, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
