  • Is the quote from Kathleen Kennedy needed? Can it be changed to "In December, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said that the film had not been mapped out and..."?
  Done Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • In that same sentence, the use of the phrase "with Johnson and that Johnson" seems repetitive. Try rewording or splitting the sentences.
  Done reworded Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • The sentence starting with "Abrams is an executive producer" seems out of place. Maybe change it to "Additionally, Abrams served as an executive producer".
  Done Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Combine the last two paragraphs in this section together and move January 23, 2017, to the beginning of the sentence it's in.
  Done Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • The last sentence doesn't work without context. Add context and change "Carrie" to Carrie Fisher.
  Done Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Filming

  • The reference after "filming in Mexico" only mentions Mexico once, and links to this source from Excélsior, so I would cite that instead.
  Done removed per Special:MobileDiff/1007271016 Chompy Ace 23:04, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Starting that same sentence with "In November 2014, Ivan Dunleavy, chief executive of Pinewood Studios, confirmed" seems misleading as the last part was from December 2015 and was said by Kathleen Kennedy. I suggest rewording, splitting, or just moving the last part farther down in #Filming.
  Done reworded Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Is "In September 2015, del Toro revealed that principal photography would begin in March 2016;[44] Kennedy later said filming would begin in January 2016.[7]" necessary? Both sentences contradict themselves, making it harder for readers, and the point is already made in the next paragraph.
  Done removed "Kennedy later said filming would begin in January 2016.[7]" sentence Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • In this source, there's no mention of filming in Bolivia taking place in July.

  • Some Multiple claims in the last paragraph have THREE citations each. Try removing some per WP:OVERLINK.
  Done have reduced to one or two citations, and one from the first sentence in this section is converted into a bundle Chompy Ace 08:45, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
See here and here. I restored the refs, but I bundled them. See WP:CITEBUNDLE and WP:Citation overkill. I think the reviewer meant WP:Citation overkill, not WP:OVERLINK. WP:OVERLINK isn't about refs. The refs aren't redundant. They are there so that that the sentences are fully verified. If we say "several reviewers" and only have one reviewer supporting the sentence, that leaves the sentence somewhat unverified. There's also a WP:Hidden note in the section showing that the section was crafted after a lot of discussion. ReaperRoe (talk) 18:04, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
However, there are now duplicate citations to the same source. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 18:52, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
What duplicates? We're allowed to use the same ref more than once. That's what WP:REFNAME is for. And it's fine for us to use a ref both in a bundle and on its own. ReaperRoe (talk) 19:32, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  Already done Chompy Ace 20:02, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I'm saying that the same reference is listed more than once (you can find the citation from Ian Youngs in #References five times). You can simply fix this with a better cite bundle using something like <ref name="Youngs"/> multiple times. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 20:29, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
