Oppose
 * 1) Fiolli:
 * 2) *Gelatin needs to be linked to, and an article needs to be created to avoid a redlink in the introduction. I think it is very important to explain&mdash;even briefly&mdash;what gelatin is in the SW galaxy. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 18:13, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) The second to last paragraph of the bio reads rather play-by-play. Lines like "Skywalker realized that the scratching had been a simple distraction—one that had succeeded." also feel a bit flowery. The part with Luke and Callista's fate should be cut at least out of the intro, as it's not about the subject; I'm iffy about it even being in the bio section. I'd chop it down to a single, brief sentence at most, about how they were the only survivors. - Lord Hydronium 10:04, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) * Objection fixed. Unfortunately, this article is now only 952 words long, and it appears I'm going to have to pull it down and take it to GA. :( Thanks for the reviews, everyone. As this is now less than 1000 words, Inqs should not queue this yet, although I also ask that Inqs don't take it down just yet , because I need to talk something over with a fellow Inq/AC member.

 * 5) **All right, this article is now 1,012 words, and I plan on trying to add a bit more later. However, it currently meets the length requirement, to my great delight.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 21:51, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Comments


 * "Guldi was willing to die" in the P&T reads kinda weird. But I guess the whole, "He died laughing", sort of dispels any sort of care for his life. Might want to mention that he seemed mentally unstable. Cull Tremayne 07:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think he was mentally unstable; he was just prepared to die, being courageous enough to accept it, and wanted to go down fighting. I'll expand on that bit a little, and hopefully it'll read better.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 19:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I added a pic of a wampa, with, I hope, an appropriate caption. --Eyrezer 09:45, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It looks good.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 23:14, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
