 * Most of the Clone Wars section is straight off the databank. That doesn't equal "Featured Article" in my book. --Death Regis 00:07, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Removed my vote until that portion is improved. QuentinGeorge 06:27, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * It's a definite copyvio, as well. Aaargh! QuentinGeorge 06:30, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

 * This article was probably the most entertaining article so far on here. Well, besides any other aricle about Jedi :) --MasterJedi 04:54, 26 Oct 2005 (UTC)

 * Please sign up first. QuentinGeorge 22:52, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I say give it a go-go. It's good, and it's long and it has an indepth history of the Ewoks, plus behind the scenes stuff. Frozenphoenix32
 * As Hal on Undergrads said, "Yaaay! Ewoks!" - RPharazon 01:37, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. The article definately is featured-quality. Adamwankenobi 04:16, 20 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Hold on a sec, after looking at the appearances section, I know that there are several Children's books and a comic series about them, it still needs tose added. Anyone? Adamwankenobi 02:59, 24 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll vote for it if someone can fill in some redlinks and add more pictures. &mdash; Silly Dan  18:49, 30 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I've added some pictures and there's not many redlinks left. Could somebody upload a picture of an Ewok shaman?
 * Added a picture of Logray. As we continue working on it, it'll be ready for the front page by the time it's accumulated to votes.   &mdash; Silly Dan  19:43, 5 Nov 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) While this article has a good start, it is still too much of a review of the OT films. It would be great if we could expand the focus to include the general trends of the conflict across the galaxy - including those battles between the Empire and non-Alliance forces. --SparqMan 05:56, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) Sorry, but needs a lot of work. The prose is a bit clunky for my liking, and it goes into overly-minute details for combat (it gives a blow-by-blow account of the Battle of Hypori.), while neglecting other information. QuentinGeorge 10:57, 15 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Comments I have worked on this since around March on wikipedia. A while back, I copied and pasted it here, as it seems to cover pretty much everything about the special. After some intense wookieefying, I believe it's now up to the standards of being a featured article on here. Take a look at the page and tell me what you think. (I think that if the SuperShadow article can be featured, anything can.) Adamwankenobi 08:12, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... Supershadow is different. He's just some retard. He doesn't give Star Wars a bad name. This is a monstrosity that should stay away from the main page. The article is very good, but I think this disgusting thing would give a very bad image of Star Wars if it was in the front page. --Master Starkeiller 15:37, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, come on, it's not that bad. :) And besides, the article specifically addresses why it is so hated (I made sure of that). It basically covers everything I could think of, and I belive it is quite comprehensive. It tells (as you've seen) much about the production, story, what people generally think of it, all of the plot elements, etc. It seems to be quite informative about such an obscure topic, which is what I speciallize in on here. I think it at least gives a neutral view of it, similarly to SKot Kirkwood's starwarsholidayspecial.com. Adamwankenobi 15:47, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, more important than the fact of Holiday Special being the worst official SW production ever, is that the article is impresive. Also can serve as an example of errors that shouldn't be repeated ever :) Thinortolan 16:21, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * By the Force, its effing huge! -- Riffsyphon1024 05:46, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
