Nice work here, just a couple of things:
~~I think the Tuggs quote in the description makes it very clear that he has no interest in drinking the drink, so can we really assume that even the correct version is potable to Artiodacs?~~
- Can consume but chooses not to suggests potable :) Immi Thrax (she/her) (talk) 18:07, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
~~I'd like to see the bts can mention what color it was in the fifty-sixth issue—or maybe it's not colored there at all? Right now I'm not seeing why the green color needs to be noted.~~
- Is that clear now? Immi Thrax (she/her) (talk) 18:07, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
~~A release date for the fifty-seventh issue should be added.~~
- Done Immi Thrax (she/her) (talk) 18:07, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
And finally, seeing as comic lettering is generally in all caps, where is the lowercased "splice" coming from? If nowhere, I see no harm in accepting the fully capitalized "Rodian Splice" from the cookbook. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 03:57, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- "Like that when I got here"--probably was conjectural. Changed! Immi Thrax (she/her) (talk) 18:07, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

~~After going through the comic, the context for Solo is actually supported by SW 56.~~
- Thank you! Immi Thrax (she/her) (talk) 07:16, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
~~There is a double reference in that paragraph.~~
- Fixed! Immi Thrax (she/her) (talk) 07:16, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
~~Even though TOBSOC contradicts the comics regarding the color, I think we could consider both the colors as correct IU, since the beverage could have two different possible colorations.~~ LucaRoR ^(Talk) 18:39, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- Since comic is just green and cookbook is three different color layers, I suspect they just used the name without regard for appearance, not intended. May be speculative to put the discrepancy IU instead of BTS? Immi Thrax (she/her) (talk) 07:16, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
  - Uh well, I guess it can stay in the BTS then. LucaRoR ^(Talk) 14:33, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
~~There is room for another image in the BTS, I would suggest either a pic that shows the green-colored Rodian Splice or the cover of SW 56.~~
- Resolved via Discord. LucaRoR ^(Talk) 18:19, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
~~Please give a look at my copy-edit to see if you're ok with it.~~ LucaRoR ^(Talk) 14:33, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

I'd agree with Luca that I think the colors can both be treated as in-universe and go into the description and the infobox, maybe even mentioned in history. There are certainly cocktails in real life that can come in variant colors so I don't see why this needs to be a contradiction. It seems especially odd with the images showing the colors both used within the body of the article. Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:12, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- Handled this one with Immi's permission! MasterFred(talk) 06:15, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
