This is list of characters from the Star Wars show The Book of Boba Fett. I created and worked on this list a lot because I really liked the show and know a lot about Star Wars as it is my favorite film franchise. I’m nominating it as a featured list because it looks like it passes the criteria, but just know there might be some grammar problems. I have looked over the sections of this list way to much now to the point where my brain just corrects the grammar mistakes automatically without me seeing it. I formatted and based this list off List of The Mandalorian characters, which was raised to FL by Hunter Kahn who based the list off List of Alien (film series) characters, which was raised to FL by DarthBotto so kudos to them. I have the same goal as Hunter Kahn, which is to have this as the anchor of a good topic on this subject.― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 15:25, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Pamzeis: can you please finish this source review. I think it would be cool if this could be the Featured List on the main page on May 4th (for May the 4th be with you) if it passes since the empire strikes back will be the Featured article. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 17:52, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, well, the discussion was archived without a response, so I'll just pass this source review. Pamzeis (talk) 05:08, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

====Comments from ChrisTheDude====

I'll take this challenge, but I'll definitely do it in chunks :-)

  • Wikilink space western
  • "He is also a Mandalorian bounty hunter" => just "He is a Mandalorian bounty hunter"
  • "In the series, he barely escapes the sarlacc" - clarify/expand that this is a continuation from his last film appearance
    • I put that in the form of a fn is that fine
  • "Later, in "Chapter 9: The Marshal" of The Mandalorian" - wikilink The Mandalorian
  • "Fett ends up going to war with the Pyke Syndicate" - in the lead it was Pykes Syndicates, which is correct?
  • "give some of his lines to Ming-Na Wen" - wikilink her here rather than on her second mention
  • Ming-Na image caption needs a full stop
  • "Vizsla, who's ancestor" => "Vizsla, whose ancestor"
  • "is stripped from his title" => "is stripped of his title"
  • "Din Djarin is portrayed by Pedro Pascal, who also plays Din Djarin in The Mandalorian" => "Din Djarin is portrayed by Pedro Pascal, who also plays the character in The Mandalorian" (avoid repetition)
  • " inspired by Clint Eastwood’s character a Man with No Name" => " inspired by Clint Eastwood’s character The Man with No Name"
  • "Many were glad to see Pedro Pascal as Djarin starring" - no need to repeat his entire name
  • Pascal image caption needs a full stop
  • Back for more later :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:24, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Matt Berry image caption needs a full stop
  • "With the most recent ones being Taika Waititi as IG-11 in The Mandalorian and Bill Hader as BB-8 in the Star Wars sequels." - this is not a complete sentence
  • "Blake Hawkins of Comic Book Resources liked 8D8 writing that there has been" => "Blake Hawkins of Comic Book Resources liked 8D8, writing that there had been"
  • "TheWrap's Drew Taylor disliked 8D8 calling him a "fussy torture droid"." => "TheWrap's Drew Taylor disliked 8D8, calling him a "fussy torture droid"."
  • Beals image caption needs a full stop
  • "they hears loud drums" => "they hear loud drums"
  • "she walked into the room to hear the phone ring with someone telling her she got the job for The Book of Boba Fett [....] She said that when she first stepped on set, she had no clue what series she was part of" - someone rang her to offer her a role on the show, but then when she turned up for filming she didn't know what show it was? That makes no sense.......
    • I think I fixed this
  • "the two tentacle-like appendages on Twi'leks heads" => "the two tentacle-like appendages on Twi'leks' heads"
  • "to put and keep on, She said" - that S should not be a capital
  • "said that the Brian Sipe" - *the* Brian Sipe?
  • "Since her Lekku were already made" - lekku didn't have a capital L before......
  • "who is a bounty hunter and former gladiator hired by The Hutt Twins as a bodyguard, who is now in Fett's service" - avoid repetition of "who is" by saying "who is a bounty hunter and former gladiator hired by The Hutt Twins as a bodyguard and is now in Fett's service"
  • "he is performed by a guy" - can we use a slightly less slangy word than "guy"?
  • "Krrsantan was created by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larocca, who originally created him for the Marvel comics" => "Krrsantan was originally created by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larocca for the Marvel comics" - tighter language and avoids repetition
  • "Eric Francisco of Inverse.com praised the Wookie calling him" => "Eric Francisco of Inverse.com praised the Wookie, calling him"
  • "When asked about if she knew" => "When asked whether she knew"
  • "with her character, She responded" - that S should not be a capital
  • Back for more later :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:38, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:28, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
====More comments from ChrisTheDude====
  • "In an interview with TVLine's Matt Mitovich, Morrison and Wen tell Mitovich" => "In an interview with TVLine's Matt Mitovich, Morrison and Wen told Mitovich"
  • Does nobody play the Twins, even as a voice?
    • What I put about Morrison’s stand in and the cardboard cutouts is literally it. No reliable source, non reliable source, behind the voice actors, nor the credits even say anything
  • "Stephen Root portrays Lortha peel." - missing capital on Peel
  • I would merge this one sentence "paragraph" with the one before
  • "where he brings Fett his new pet rancor calf" - this is (at least) the second mention of rancor - move the wikilink to the first
  • "makes his first acting debut" - you can only ever make one acting debut, so the word "first" is redundant
  • "The Armorer is the leader of the Mandalroian" - last word is spelt incorrectly
  • "Emily said that" => "Swallow said that"
  • "director for two of the episode" => "director for two of the episodes"
  • "While training with Luke, he helps Grogu remember his past as a Jedi youngling" => "While training him, Luke helps Grogu remember his past as a Jedi youngling"
  • "Grogu is forced to make a decision to continue his trading" - training, surely?
  • Back for more later :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:01, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Even more comments from ChrisTheDude

  • Most of the minor guests characters have a single-sentence "paragraph" about who played them. I'd just join these onto the paragraph before
    • How does that work? I left the ones that had more than one line as a separate paragraph.
  • "how to use speeder bike" - either "speeder bikes" or "a speeder bike"
  • "help against the upcoming war against the Pyke Syndacate" => "help in the upcoming war against the Pyke Syndicate" (or Pykes Syndicate, whichever is actually correct)
  • "He is also one of the crime lords Fett ask" => "He is also one of the crime lords Fett asks"
  • "The Night Wind Assassin appears in "Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land" and "Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine" of The Book of Boba Fett." - "of The Book of Boba Fett" is not needed, what else would they be chapters of within this article?
  • "Camie Marstrap and Laze "Fixer" Loneozner are the two couple" - "the two couple" does not make sense
  • "Fixer and Camie were originally supposed to be portrayed by Anthony Forrest and Koo Stark in Star Wars (1997)" - 1997??
  • "He is also of the Klatooinian species" => "He is f the Klatooinian species"
  • "Paz Vizsla is portrayed by Tait Fletcher with Jon Favreau as the voice of him, respectively" - last word is not needed
  • "Taanti leads the people of Freetowm" - think that last word is spelt incorrectly
    • Actually they, Lucasfilm, decided to get pretty weird with how to name that city... jk lol
  • Think that's it :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:17, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Further comments
  • "The main villans of the series is the Pykes Syndicate" - the third word is spelt incorrectly, and as the subject is plural the verb should be "are" not "is"
  • "She also went on to say that there's" => there is, not there's
  • "Cinema Blend's Erik Swann praised Fenned Shand" - spelt wrong
  • "help Boba Fett with the imminent war coming" - imminent and coming mean the same thing, so remove the latter
  • "Clint Eastwood’s character a The Man with No Name" => "Clint Eastwood’s character The Man with No Name"
  • "Blake Hawkins of Comic Book Resources liked 8D8 writing " => "Blake Hawkins of Comic Book Resources liked 8D8, writing "
  • "TheWrap's Drew Taylor disliked 8D8 calling, him" => "TheWrap's Drew Taylor disliked 8D8, calling him"
  • "Krrsantan doesn't listen" => "Krrsantan does not listen"
  • "he saw him rip off the arm of a Tradoshan" - last word is spelt wrong
  • "When asked about if whether she knew" => "When asked whether she knew"
  • "She also said that most of the filming was done on the backlot with some of it in the volume" - what's "the volume"?
  • "He continues to say that a cyborg gang keeps stealing his water and ask Fett to stop them" => "He continues to say that a cyborg gang keeps stealing his water and asks Fett to stop them"
  • "After Fett finds Shand half-dead, he aides her" => "After Fett finds Shand half-dead, he aids her"
  • In the Tusken Kid section, "kid" is sometimes capitalised and other times not
  • "Later, she teaches Fett how fight" => "Later, she teaches Fett how to fight"
  • "the scales of a giant sand creatures" - either creatures or a creature, but not a creatures
  • "who are of the Order of the Night Wind, and try to kill Boba Fett" => "who are of the Order of the Night Wind and try to kill Boba Fett"
  • Refs at the end of the Pyke Traveler and Pyke Boss sections are not in correct numerical order -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:52, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @ChrisTheDude: done. Sorry that took a little bit, I was on a wiki break ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 19:38, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, also I have no idea what in the volume means. I thought that was just some term for movies and stuff that I didnt know about. What do you think I should do? ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 19:40, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    This explains it. Not something I had ever heard of before. I suggest changing it to "She also said that most of the filming was done on the backlot with some of it in the volume, an area where motion capture filming takes place" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:34, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, thanks ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 19:44, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
