Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi[edit]
This is currently my 2nd attempt to bring Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi to featured article status. I feel that that many contributors, including myself who help to bring this article to AA-rated with terrific reviews should get featured status. It is currently the only Star Wars movie to not be featured in Wikipedia. A Raider Like Indiana (talk) 23:54, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- http://www.musicweb-international.com/film/2004/Sep04/star_wars.html is missing publisher information. Is this a reliable source?
Is this http://www.solarnavigator.net/ a reliable source? Likewise http://www.starwarz.com/starkiller/ and http://www.dvdactive.com/home/index.html and http://boxofficemojo.com/- 1st: removed. 2nd: it has transcripts found over the web. 3rd: not bad, but replaced. 4th: what are you asking?!
- Might consider wikilinking that article for number four into the references. Lots of non-film buffs like me out there in the world (and especially reviewing articles) Ealdgyth
- Comment - please delete the 1st, the 2nd, the 2rd and the 4th because they are spam-sistes (coca-cola, boots) or blogs (21 answers...). MOJSKA 666 (msg) 06:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Minor Support although it needs some work, it's well done, and all problems will be brought up by this FAC. igordebraga ≠ 03:35, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/Style_guidelines#Plot, specifically:
Plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words and should not exceed 900 words unless there is a specific reason such as a very complicated plot.
- I think the plot summary is too long. Whilst I'm not usually a stickler for these types of guidelines, the current summary weighs in at a massive 1,166 words and the plot is not all that complicated. I think the cast list could be converted to prose, and I think some of the extra descriptions of characters in the cast section are not necessary as their roles are covered in the plot summary. -- Naerii · plz create stuff 21:24, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A lot of major things need work.
- The lead is too short
- Plot is too long
- Arin't Development and Production the same thing?
- No ref in the DVD release section
- Reaction should really be at the bottem
- No ref is Novelization section
- Prose needs work.

Oppose The article is not comprehensive. This is the most serious problem with it. The article is supposed to cover all aspects of the film, but it has very little discussion of the film's themes and cinematic style. An analysis of the artistic elements of the film, except for the soundtrack, is missing. The missing published knowledge on this topic should be written using the work of film scholars. There is plenty of material available on Star Wars. Ultra! 19:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
