 * 2) *I know this is all in discussion-mode as to what articles like this should really contain, but I'm going to go ahead a place some "things that I just can't vote for this article without":
 * 3) *The overall synopsis should be greatly expanded. That is, it shouldn't be a single paragraph. Chapter summaries may be asking a lot, but section the book into thirds, or something, and give me several paragraphs of detailed information
 * 4) *A section for major players of the book, main characters, a little background on them leading up to that point chronologically in the novel, and the role the play in the story
 * 5) *A section detailing what this book means to the SW internal chronology. What things have significantly changed because of the creation of this story? How have people, things, or events been forever altered? Any significant character developments?
 * 6) *That's it for now, though more may come up. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * This is a stepping-stone for an eventual FAN, which will be a first for an OOU article about a novel. As such, please feel free to explain what you'd like to see in an article of this nature.-- Goodwood [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 21:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe people have discussed this in the past, but I'm not sure. If you're going to FA something like this, I don't see why you shouldn't have something akin to chapter summaries, plus a section covering the overall impact and significance the book had on the SW timeline from both an IU and OOU perspective. You should discuss the things (ships, weapons, etc. that you have listed) that first appear, explain their significance, and how they may have been expanded on future works. Most important of all, I would request the gallery go. Just like we don't need to see every image of Luke Skywalker, for example, we don't need to see every single cover variation. Explain that covers differed among countries around the world, show an example or two, and be done with it. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Alas, the gallery stays. :-( jSarek 11:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, consensus on the cover galleries was to keep them. Unless a new CT overturns that one, that issue needs to be dropped. Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 12:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I suggest you organise the appearance lists into columns so they are not so long. --Eyrezer 12:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
