Objections

  • The Description's last two sentences both start with "They were..." which is a bit repetitive. I'd recommend sliding the last sentence's information into the first sentence of the Description: "Water pistols,{ref) also known as water blasters,(ref)" ... etc. which is a bit more standard for the presentation of alternate IDs at the start.
    • Done. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 05:13, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Seems like the first History paragraph's events could have a "between year and year" range established based on the Vader/Luke stuff.
    • Added. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 16:47, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
  • There isn't really any precedent (or need) for an unrelated other-continuity BTS quote like is present. Unless there's proof that say, one of the authors was particularly referencing a specific scene from Legends as inspiration for a canon introduction, but having it just to have it isn't really done.
    • Removed. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 05:13, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
  • The Greatest Apprentice Assistant's page seems to claim that it had a known writer, which to my knowledge is generally known for that magazine set. If verifiable, that author would generally be included.
    • Added. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 16:47, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
  • The two top EL listings should be removed; simply the template representing [it] is enough. Also backed up by the CT of not listing full reprints from YT of the same media (ie streams of every YJA episode, etc.) so long as the Wook template is present for it.—spookywillowwtalk 17:10, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

  • The use of disabling should be changed to a synonym Lewisr (talk) 23:18, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
    • Not sure why given it is not a term that is traditionally or contemporarily perceived as harmful even among the disabled community (lest we would not refer to ourselves as such), and even less so contextually here, but nonetheless I will change it rather than argue the point here because this is not the time nor place for this discussion nor is it consequential to the subject matter of this particular article. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 02:16, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
      • We've been changing instances for the past 2 years at the request of Fandom. This isn't anything new. Lewisr (talk) 14:14, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
  • The first paragraph in history is rather big, I think it can be split Lewisr (talk) 14:14, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
    • Done. Kept them all in the same section still (particularly because it feels redundant to section off the third paragraph) but can subsection if you believe it's necessary. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 16:37, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
      • Nah I don't think it's necessary to section, but I do think there's space a 2nd image now in history Lewisr (talk) 21:46, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
