• Nomination comments: Hanzo did all the work on this, but as a new user, he couldn't edit this page, so I put it here for him. It's his nom, not mine, as he cleaned up the article, and I'm just helping him out here. Chack Jadson ^(Talk) 20:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

1. Wow, a worthy Good nom before you can even edit GAN. Quite impressive. DC 21:59, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
2. Wow indeed. I love how you can make a GA out of just a minor appearance. You're the guy who was working on Chiraneau, right? Keep up the good work, and I suggest you get yourself 50 mainspace edits so you can vote on this site. SoresuMakashi^{(Everything I tell you is a lie)} 06:34, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Object

1. DC
   • P&T?
   • "His unit was recommended to Commander Igar by Governor Yount of the Wakeelmui garrison." This sentence is the same in both the bio and intro, change it up please.
   • The BtS is very choppy, could you clear it up please?
   • You should probably use the non canon info in a seperate section, since there are two non-canon appearances for him.
   • Two questions, not objections. Are there any quotes? And you don't have ref the BtS, the sources you state in it source the paragraph so it's kind of redundant.
   • Welcome to Wookieepedia, and great job on the article! DC 20:58, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
     • See my talk page for Hanzo's responses to the objections, they're resolved on there, and on his talk page for my responses, since he still can't edit this page. DC 21:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
2. From the Moffship of Grand Moff Tranner:
   • The P&T could use some minor rewording, to show why those facts are examples of his personality and traits.
   • "Wallen and his partner watched as the Commander delivered Luke's lightsaber to the Dark Lord of the Sith, claiming that weapon was all the Rebel was armed with, and personally believed that there were more Rebels hiding in the forests, despite Luke's denial of his belief." - this could probably be broken into two sentences. As-is, it reads like Wallen and his partner claimed Luke was only armed with the lightsaber, and that they believed there were more Rebels in hiding.
   • "While telling Luke that the latter did not know the true power of the dark side of the Force and that Palpatine would show Luke the true nature of the Force and be the Jedi's master, Vader hand signaled for Wallen and his partner to escort Luke to the second Death Star, where the young Jedi Knight would be brought to the Emperor's throne room." - this could probably be broken up as well.
   • And while this may be a pain, I suggest looking through all the cards of the Endor Limited expansion pack. It's likely he's mentioned on other cards, which would then count as additional sources.
     • Taken care of, there are no Endor or Death star 2 expansion card sets referencing him. Hanzo Hasashi 23:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
   • Good job on your first GAN. I hope I see more of your work here in the future. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 22:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
     • I'm just going to keep open my objection regarding the CCG cards for a little longer, in case I or someone else would be able to access the online card list soon. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 23:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
       • Read above comment. Hanzo Hasashi 23:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
3. Toprawa:
   • Please check all adaptations of ROTJ for other items to add to the Appearances list, even if there is no new information.
     • Done. Hanzo Hasashi 23:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
       • And they are in chronological order now as well. Hanzo Hasashi 02:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
   • Also, I believe there is new information concerning this guy in The Movie Trilogy Sourcebook, I believe it is. There is a story somewhere in which the stormtrooper who capture Skywalker on Endor take a picture with him before handing him over to Vader. I'm not sure if this involves this guy or not, but please check. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:50, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
     • That was Major Lesim, a different character. Hanzo Hasashi 23:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
4. The Cav-man:
   • All the CCG cards are available on line here. Please check for any mentions of Wallen as per Grand Moff Tranner's previous objection.
     • Done per above statement w/ Grand Moff Tranner. Hanzo Hasashi 23:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
   • All references to "Luke" should be changed to "Skywalker"; surnames are used for formality in articles.
   • Tempest 1 needs to be referenced to a specific source (CCG card I believe) - it is never refered to by name in the film.
     • That was my fault - I had added that in and forgot to reference it. Now it is. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 12:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
   • In addition to checking all the other versions of RotJ, check any source relating to the Original Trilogy - The Art of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, The Complete Visual Dictionary, Behind the Magic, etc, for appearances.
     • Argh, the only one I cannot do, since I don't even own alot of SW sources (only the Visual Dictionary, which does not reference him in any way). Therefore I really cannot look up any sources that even make indirect mentions of him, any help for those missing sources would be appreciated. Hanzo Hasashi 23:01, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
       • Does this, as per your request.
   • Nice job on your first GA. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 10:40, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
