  • GAN Rule 9: no redlinks. Imperators II(Talk) 14:03, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
  • According to our policy on disambiguation, naming precedence should be granted to this canon guy, while this six-armed Legends dude should receive a parenthetical descriptor.
  • (not an objection) Please note that use of pronoun "this" is discouraged here in keeping with the past tense requirement.
  • Context for Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker in the intro.
  • If the alien's skin color is light brown, that's how it should be stated in the infobox. (I think the skin color's light, though...)
  • Please identify Chalmun's Cantina by name upon its first mention in the body. And while you're at it, see if you can reword that sentence so that the date info ("shortly after the Battle of Yavin") is not sandwiched between pieces of location info.
  • This part is clumsy, please reword: "accosted the cantina's patrons for information regarding a local moisture farmer, Luke Skywalker; though that was precisely why Fett had come to the cantina; he did not yet know Skywalker's identity."
    • That was pretty gross. Nivlacanator(talk) 22:20, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
      • Still there.
        • It appears that when I originally addressed these objections, there was an edit conflict that resulted in me losing the edits I had made. *sighs* Nivlacanator(talk) 08:18, December 7, 2016 (UTC)
  • Don't mix up your chronology—the bit about Wuher happened after Fett's fight with the alien started.
    • Oops. Fixed. Nivlacanator(talk) 22:20, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
      • No, it isn't.
        • Really fixed now.
          • There's some weird repetition in that bit now. Imperators II(Talk) 22:23, December 7, 2016 (UTC)
  • Also reword this so that the word "boy" is only used when necessary: "As he harassed an Ithorian for information about the boy, the alien challenged Fett, calling him a boy."
  • (not an objection) I've removed the part about Fett releasing the alien since it's not shown in the comic.
    • Man, I wrote this so long ago in the middle of the night... Nivlacanator(talk) 21:02, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
  • Give a more detailed description of the alien. Eye color and hair information is infobox-exclusive. Describe the pointed ears, the three nostrils, the number of digits, body hair, clothing.
    • Added. Nivlacanator(talk) 22:20, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
      • Almost none of the things I've mentioned have been added. And that kind of info surely belongs in the P&T section, not the Bio, wouldn't you agree?
        • I would like to apologize for how this is going. I don't know what happened there.
  • The comic's release date can't be sourced to the comic itself. Imperators II(Talk) 20:27, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
    • That seems obvious in retrospect. Nivlacanator(talk) 21:02, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
      • First of all, the link you've provided doesn't work. You should have checked this when you added it, but it seems to be a case of incorrectly added link to the Marvel template. Please check the template itself and the usage example I've provided below to see how you should add a link to the template.
      • Secondly, per our sourcing policy you should provide an archival link in the Marvel template. Here's an example where this is implemented in a similar context. Imperators II(Talk) 22:03, November 17, 2016 (UTC)
