Rebel Friend/Legends

  1. I hope there has to be a canon tab for this legend when Lego Skywalker Saga comes out. Commander Code-8 Hello There! 14:44, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Missing links to Galactic Empire/Legends and Rebel trooper/Legends in the body
  • Needs some context for Darth Vader, specifically that he was leading the Imperial forces
  • This may be a silly but you could add that his helmet had a chin strap in the equipment section.
  • At the end of the Bts I'm not sure whether you're talking about the DS version of II or the Complete Saga, or if it's both. Commander Code-8 Hello There! 08:37, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
  • I've just watched some Youtube playthoughs of Lego Star Wars II on DS and I'm not seeing our guy turn up at all. Commander Code-8 Hello There! 10:34, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Should be the last thing, so when the player finds Rebel Friend there's this gap on the floor that can't be reached until the stormtroopers have been defeated, after which he pulls a switch to lower some platforms for Antilles and co to get past. I think that's important enough to be described in the article. Commander Code-8 Hello There! 05:19, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Minor suggestion, but perhaps instead of "Rebel Friend and the others in the group" in the introduction, you could write "Rebel Friend and his compatriots" or "his comrades" or something similar, just so it's not such a mouthful (not to mention slightly more clear).
  • For the final paragraph of the Biography, can it truly be said that the group "took care of all the foes they ran into"? Been a while since I've played the game myself, but upon watching footage of the level on YouTube it seems there are a at least a few stormtroopers at this part that aren't required to be defeated in order to progress, so I'm not sure it can be said that all the Imperials here were dealt with.

    • Both fixed--there are indeed some troopers that don't try to attack them. JediMasterMacaroniAdmiral Ackbar RH(Talk) 01:06, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
      • Perhaps I'm mistaken about how we handle this sort of thing, but what I'm mainly getting at here is that I'm not sure it can be said that Rebel Friend and co. "took care of" all their foes here. While there are a number of Imperials near the end of the level that do need to be defeated in order to progress, after taking out these ones you technically don't have to kill any of the other stormtroopers that are past this door, even though they are shooting at you. It may be annoying to deal with, but it seems it's possible to simply walk past these guys and finish the level without even acknowledging them. As such, I don't believe we know if all the enemies here were actually taken care. DwartiiDelver (talk) 01:22, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

  • The article's body doesn't support the Alliance fleet category. Imperators II(Talk) 12:16, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Ecks
  • The second and third sentences of the intro are what I'd call "boring". They both start with "He" and both have just one main clause, which makes for a boring sentence structure. See if you can spice it up a bit.
    • I've switched up the third sentence. Would you like me to modify the second one as well?
  • The way the last intro sentence is written, it says that the Rebels first battled the Imperials and then allowed the droids to escape, rather than battling the Imperials to allow the droids to escape.
  • "C-3PO opened the ensuing door, and the group moved forward." What door? "Ensuing" implies an action of the Rebel party led to the creation of this door, which doesn't seem to be the case. 1358 (Talk) 17:14, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Others should be fixed. JediMasterMacaroniAdmiral Ackbar RH(Talk) 18:34, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
      • I made some minor adjustments, please have a look and see if it's okay. 1358 (Talk) 19:39, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

  • Is the screenshot from a cutscene, so no variability with the exact still popping up, or just from gameplay, in which it's possible to go through without recreating the exact frame? If the latter, not sure if it should be used in the IU portions. Also, I notice you talking about how the characters "took care of all the foes they ran into," so does that mean that all the enemies need to die in order to advance? If not, please reword to reflect the ambiguity of whether all Imperial enemies are killed. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 23:53, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
    • To be honest I didn't even think about where the image had to come from (I've never had a video game nom before)— the screenshot is not from a cutscene, so I'll look for a new one on that front. In terms of your second point, if the player tries to advance without killing the Imperials they run into, they'll be gunned down for sure, so yes, they do have to die in order to advance.

      • Thanks for responding to both. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 00:17, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
        • No problem, although I've run into a small issue—Rebel Friend does not appear in any cutscenes, only in-game story mode. Do you happen to know if I can still use it? JediMasterMacaroniAdmiral Ackbar RH(Conversation) 00:28, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
          • Perhaps you should replace that image with a screenshot from one of the cutscenes that precede the gameplay surrounding Rebel Friend, with an obvious accompanying caption change. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 01:15, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
