Forum:SH:Han Solo Improvement Drive

Many years ago there used to be an initiative on Wookieepedia called Improvement Drives. These Improvement Drives would focus on making sure one article or a group of articles were up to snuff. Taking a look at some of our top tier canon character articles shows that there are way too many "Update needed" templates on them, and way too much content that's out of date. We're not really doing readers of this wiki any good if we can't keep major film characters up to date, so I want to see if there's interest in focusing on specific characters at a time.

Given that it's timely and relevant, I propose that a group of us work on updating Han Solo and making sure that this article is of Featured Article-level quality. We won't nominate it, because the article will never be stable enough to nominate, but we should be striving for that level.

I propose that those of us who participate each take a certain part of the story, and build it out on a subpage that I have created: here.

I think for now, since this is where the bulk of current storytelling is, we should focus on his early life up until the events of The Empire Strikes Back - so essentially Solo: A Star Wars Story through the ongoing comic books. I will take Solo: A Star Wars Story and any other odds and ends we have from his early life via the comics, and I will also take A New Hope.

That means that we also need:

That’s a lot, as you can see, hence why we’d be starting with the Solo movie - Empire Strikes Back era. Everything after that is much easier and can come next.
