Forum:SH Archive/Are Overviews too long?

I'm starting to think that many opening sections of articles on Wookieepedia are getting far too detailed, especially for significant characters and elements in Star Wars. For a character, they start simply with who this person is ("So-and-so was a Jedi Knight in the Old Republic" or "...a Wookiee slave from Kashyyyk", but then we get several paragraphs detailing their exploits, life story and in some cases their death. And then, immediately following this is an even more detailed play-by-play of their life story via appearances in Star Wars media. The later I have no issue with, but the overview which starts the entry really doesn't need to have all that information, does it?

For example: Ahsoka Tano's pre-Biography overview is 405 words long, with all the information repeated in the actual Biography. All it needs to say is that she was a Togruta Jedi Padawan at the time of the Clone Wars and apprentice to Anakin Skywalker. Seriously, that's all it should read. We get every other aspect of her life in the lengthy Biography which follows.

Thoughts?
