- What are the odds of TK-421 and TK-422 being assigned to the same battle station, in front of the same ship? - AV-6R7Crew Pit 23:30, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

Sources like Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded confirm that stormtroopers are exclusively human. Please integrate this into the article.- AV-6R7Crew Pit 00:04, January 3, 2018 (UTC)
- I thought this had only been confirmed for First Order stormtroopers, thanks for the heads up. Ayrehead02 (talk) 00:13, January 3, 2018 (UTC)
Given the Celebration piece's title and the discovery of his corpse, I think it is safe to assume that TK-421 was shot by Han.- AV-6R7Crew Pit 00:36, January 3, 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think that assumption should be made, I'd assume both of them were killed so that could be either being shot. Ayrehead02 (talk) 19:20, January 8, 2018 (UTC)
Do we usually list audiobooks in an article’s appearances section?- AV-6R7Crew Pit 00:11, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

In the year 0 BBY, TK-710 was stationed on-board the Empire's Death Star battle station while it was in the Alderaan system to destroy the planet Alderaan - I feel like this would read a bit better if some additional context was provided on why the Death Star had been sent to destroy Alderaan. Jinzler (talk) 06:54, January 15, 2018 (UTC)- How's it look now? Ayrehead02 (talk) 23:50, January 15, 2018 (UTC)
I think it's safer to describe Alderaan as "peaceful" rather than "rebellious", since publicly it was a neutral planet plus the fact that only House Organa was suspected treasonous to the Empire, rather than the entirety of Alderaanians. Jaewade (talk) 20:20, January 16, 2018 (UTC)- I've changed the wording to Rebel-affiliated, since I still want to specify why this planet specifically was chosen to be an example.

This sentence is a bit of a run-on, can we please split it? "Shortly after the planet's destruction,[3] the YT-1300 light freighter[7] known as the Millennium Falcon was pulled into Docking Bay 327 on board the Death Star by tractor beams, and after the freighter was searched by troopers, TK-710 and his comrade TK-421 were assigned to guard its entry ramp.[3]"1358 (Talk) 00:16, January 19, 2018 (UTC)- How's it look now?

In the intro, I added a redlink for entry ramp. If you do a Google search for the SW.com Databank, you'll see the term is used a few times in some episode gallery pages and whatnot. Please fill in that link, and place it in the article body as well.- Created. Ayrehead02 (talk) 22:56, February 8, 2018 (UTC)
Also, I added a mention of the Galactic Civil War for time period frame of reference. Please add that to the body as well and reference as needed.Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:07, February 7, 2018 (UTC)- Done. Ayrehead02 (talk) 22:56, February 8, 2018 (UTC)
Hidden in a crawl space where? On the Death Star, on the Falcon? Can we specify? "...after TK-421's corpse was discovered hidden in a crawl space."- Annoyingly that isn't clarified. Ayrehead02 (talk) 05:52, February 11, 2018 (UTC)
Not an objection, but you really need to pay closer attention to British spelling. Examples in this article included "recognised" and "smelt."- I wasn't even aware of the difference with smelled and smelt. Noted for future. Ayrehead02 (talk) 05:52, February 11, 2018 (UTC)
I'm going to leave an objection for this every time I see it, and I'm doing the same for everyone else's canon nominations, so please adapt your articles accordingly. It's incorrect and misleading to use phrasing in the BTS like "TK-710 first appeared in canon in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope." That carries the erroneous connotation that Lucasfilm didn't fully consider Star Wars Legends material to be official canon, which they of course did. Lucasfilm continues to use the phrasing "new Star Wars canon" from time to time, which is the most effective and concise way to convey the idea that TK-710 exists in a new, official continuity that is separate from the formerly-official one he appeared in previously. You should reflect this phrasing in this article and any other article you write that deals with a Legends counterpart.- Fixed. Ayrehead02 (talk) 05:52, February 11, 2018 (UTC)
It's really not necessary to use full dates for most things in the BTS. I realize this has become sort of a common practice among some of our canon writers, but I'm not really sure why. The fact that the original Star Wars film came out on May 25 and the novelization came out on November 12 is extraneous detail with regards to this article subject. At worst, it creates a bumpy presentation for our readers as they navigate through extra reference notes that are there solely to source this unnecessary information. All you need to say is "the 1977 film" and "the 1976 novelization," etc, which is all self-sourcing. I'd like to see these two objections resolved before proceeding through the BTS.Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:35, February 9, 2018 (UTC)- Sure, I'll keep to this going forward.
