Object
 * 1) From the Moffship of Grand Moff Tranner:
 * 2) * A few minor things:
 * 3) * The capitalization of Dark Side/dark side varies throughout the article. I think it should only be capitalized when specifically referring to Dark Side Adepts or Dark Side Elite.
 * 4) **I've fixed the "Dark Side Adept" capitalization. All other mentions of the "dark side" seem to be capitalized properly.
 * 5) * Is there any reason why you refer to the New Republic as the Rebel Alliance, since the Rebel Alliance was technically dissolved a few years prior?
 * 6) **Dark Empire constantly refers to the NR as the Rebel Alliance, despite the latter being disbanded five years before. This is one thing Veitch screwed up, but I still prefer to follow DE on this matter. Maybe the New Republic was temporarely reformed back into the Rebel Alliance during this period; as far as I know, no attempt to explain this inconsistency was ever done.
 * 7) * And finally, something really minor: Why do you use "the Bast Castle" rather than just "Bast Castle"? It just reads a little awkward to me when "the" precedes it.
 * 8) **Bah, meesa English is imperfect. Fixed.
 * 9) *Nice job. You've inspired me to work on something Dark Empire-related soon. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 13:16, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) **Thanks. It is always great to inspire someone. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 19:56, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 11) Should it not be the New Republic rather than the Rebel Alliance by this point? Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:44, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * 12) *See my response to Tranner's objection above. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 19:58, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * 13) **Hmm. How silly of them. I'd still prefer to go with New Republic personally, but whatever. Green Tentacle (Talk) 23:02, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * 14) Real quickly: Can you put the years in the succession box for the predecessors and successor? That's all I see missing. &mdash;  Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 19:05, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * 15) *Done. Thanks for the review. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 19:34, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Comments
 * Before anyone objects to this. There is absolutely no way to find out who voiced him in the audio drama. He is not credited in the ending narration of the audio drama itself, nor is his name written on the box of both the old casette version and the CD Collector's edition (thanks to and  for checking). A thorough Google check revealed nothing as well. The best candidate for being his voice actor is Jim Ward, since Nist's voice sounds almost identical to Sedriss's, who was portrayed by Ward; but I decided not to speculate and leave it ambiguous.

 * You might consider merging the "Death" section into the one above. That short one-paragraph section really isn't balancing well with the others.  CC7567  (talk) 06:59, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Merged. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 14:42, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you clarify which of the interpretations you've used to write the artice, following the continuity issues in the BtS. It seems the generally accepted thing to do, and I don't think every reader will sort through the article to work out which one you've used. Also can you say why? Does the comic supersede the audio drama? -- —Harrar  ( Cut the comm chatter ) 19:23, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. I've also decided to add the Twoconflicting tag. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 16:26, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
