Removed links to words "Depression", "Adopt", and "Disown"

I'm not sure why these words were chosen to be linked to their Wikipedia articles, but it's unnecessary in this context. I would be curious to know what standard these were based on. We might as well define all words in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kronosys (talk • contribs) 20:52, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It happens all the time. WP is full of irrelevant links. Keep up the good work of removing them but you don't have to mention it on the talk page (too much trouble for such a routine uncontroversial edit), just use the edit summary. Jimp 22:53, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Affiliation: Galactic Empire

In the past discussion it said this came from the Han Solo trilogy of novels which are Legends now. Is there somewhere else where it's mentioned that he was in the Imperial Navy? If not I think the Galactic Empire Affiliation should be tagged under Legends or removed.24.253.247.171 (talk) 04:17, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean The Han Solo Adventures? There is mention in them that Han was at the Imperial Academy - just as it's also mentioned by Bel Iblis in the Thrawn novels. Both seem to make it clear though that he left the Academy before graduating, so cannot be reasonably classed as an Imperial lackey.

The "Galactic Empire" affiliation was added here without summary. I agree with your pointing it out as a discrepency, and am removing it. Chaheel Riens (talk) 19:14, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Film article

Since filming on the Han Solo movie started today, we need to create the film article. See WT:STARWARS#Multiple drafts for Han Solo solo for a discussion about two drafts and merging them and putting an article in the mainspace.

Concept and Creation:

Some concept art of a 10 year old Solo was made, but finally, Lucas decided to omit Solo's appearance from the film. Any actor was cast or considered for the role.

This sentence is terrible and it's not a quote, so it can be changed. The later is incomplete and you wouldn't say finally when describing the past.

Change to this:

Some concept art of a 10 year old Solo was made, but Lucas decided to omit Solo's appearance from the film before any actor was cast, or considered for the role. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.252.58.26 (talk) 07:50, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Han Solo's Funeral In The Last Jedi: Expanded Edition

Hello Wikipedians, I think this important event should be included in Han Solo wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.164.178.98 (talk) 19:34, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Assertion of notability

Hi, I've opened a discussion at the Star Wars WikiProject regarding articles having few or no citations asserting notability, and I invite any interested editors to participate and help rectify this issue. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 20:28, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merging with "Han shot first"

I've boldly added the entire contents of Han shot first to this page. I feel "Han shot first" makes sense on this page because much of the discussion about it relates to Solo's personality, characterization and character development. Also, the Han Solo page is not very long, so this makes it more of meaty article. There is probably some trimming to be done of the added content.

I suggest we officially merge the pages at some point. I'll wait for input before doing so.

Update: I'm retracting the proposal after discussion with another editor.

Resolved
