Infobox and lead

 * Remove Frank Oz from the infobox since he's not in the billing block.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:05, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Lucasfilm Ltd. Lucasfilm Ltd.
 * ❌ per WP:NOTBROKEN and consistent with Episodes VII and IX. Chompy Ace 22:05, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * A reference is needed for the film being dedicated to Carrie Fisher as it doesn't appear in any other section.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:05, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Link Star Wars: The Last Jedi (soundtrack) somewhere in "returned to compose the score" (maybe in "the score").
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 21:14, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Plot

 * Remove the comma after "dragged into space".
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:03, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Remove the comma after "the Jedi library".
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 21:14, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Cast

 * In the hatnote, swap List of Star Wars cast members and List of Star Wars characters per consistency with The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:04, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The first reference after "slot machine" is dead.
 * Chompy Ace 22:04, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The reference after "Force spirit" is dead.
 * Chompy Ace 22:04, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Is the reference after "Commander D'Acy" necessary since it's already cited at the end of the sentence?
 * Chompy Ace 22:04, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Lily Cole is not in this source.
 * with the BFI. Chompy Ace 22:04, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The last paragraph in this section has some really short sentences. Try combining some.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 21:15, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Development

 * Link Star Wars, Lucasfilm, J. J. Abrams, The Force Awakens, Bob Iger, and Kathleen Kennedy.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * 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..."?
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * In that same sentence, the use of the phrase "with Johnson and that Johnson" seems repetitive. Try rewording or splitting the sentences.
 * ✅ reworded Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The sentence starting with "Abrams is an executive producer" seems out of place. Maybe change it to "Additionally, Abrams served as an executive producer".
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Combine the last two paragraphs in this section together and move January 23, 2017, to the beginning of the sentence it's in.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The last sentence doesn't work without context. Add context and change "Carrie" to Carrie Fisher.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * " Kathleen Kennedy " " Kathleen Kennedy "
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 01:11, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Link Lucasfilm in the first sentence.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 01:11, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * "revealed this as" "revealed that"
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 01:11, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Writing

 * Link Rey.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * "scene to Luke" "scene to Luke Skywalker"
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Combine the last two paragraphs.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Casting

 * The first reference after "playing a villain" is dead.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Link Laura Dern, Kelly Marie Tran, and Yoda.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * "Tran plays" "Tran would play"
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Filming

 * Link Skellig Michael, Pinewood Studios, and Star Wars Trilogy.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The reference after "filming in Mexico" only mentions Mexico once, and links to this source from Excélsior, so I would cite that instead.
 * ✅ removed per Special:MobileDiff/1007271016 Chompy Ace 23:04, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * 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.
 * ✅ reworded Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I didn't spot a change so this still feels misleading. Some Dude From North Carolina wanna talk? 00:28, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ removed per Special:MobileDiff/1007271016 Chompy Ace 02:12, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The reference after "March 2016" is dead.
 * Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Is "In September 2015, del Toro revealed that principal photography would begin in March 2016; Kennedy later said filming would begin in January 2016." necessary? Both sentences contradict themselves, making it harder for readers, and the point is already made in the next paragraph.
 * ✅ removed "Kennedy later said filming would begin in January 2016." sentence Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * In this source, there's no mention of filming in Bolivia taking place in July.
 * removed date Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * " prequel trilogy " " prequel trilogy "
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Bringing the Spanish source back change "at the Salar de Uyuni salt flats in Bolivia." to "at the Salar de Uyuni salt flats in Bolivia. Additional filming took place in Mexico."
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 20:00, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Music

 * "Star Wars Celebration Europe" "Star Wars Celebration Europe"
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Link Star Wars sequel trilogy.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Don't link conducting per WP:OVERLINK.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The first reference after "the sessions" is dead.
 * Chompy Ace 22:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Release

 * This source doesn't mention Shrine Auditorium. I'm sure a better reference can be swapped in that does.
 * with Los Angeles Daily News Chompy Ace 23:07, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Marketing

 * Remove "were released on October 12" as it's already mentioned.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 23:07, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

 * ✅ Chompy Ace 23:07, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Fix the link in "seventh-biggest of all time".
 * Chompy Ace 23:10, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I think it's now the eighth biggest, not the seventh.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 23:09, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

United States and Canada

 * Link Rogue One.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 23:31, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Other countries

 * ✅ Chompy Ace 02:14, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * What does "compared the opening of The Force Awakens" even mean? Is the sentence finished?
 * ✅ removed Chompy Ace 02:19, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * "which compared the opening" "compared to the opening"
 * ✅ removed Chompy Ace 02:19, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The reference after "92 percent" links to this more in-depth source, so cite that instead.
 * ✅ Chompy Ace 02:40, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * According to Box Office Mojo, The Last Jedi actually grossed $42.5 million in China. If you don't want to cite that, here's an from The Hollywood Reporter.
 * added pre-existing reference Chompy Ace 02:44, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The reference after "showtimes by 90%" has the wrong title.
 * Chompy Ace 19:58, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Critical response

 * ✅ 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)
 * 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)
 * However, there are now duplicate citations to the same source. Some Dude From North Carolina wanna talk? 18:52, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * ✔️ Chompy Ace 20:02, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * 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 multiple times. Some Dude From North Carolina wanna talk? 20:29, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Accolades

 * For the 2018 Teen Choice Awards, change "August 13, 2018" to "August 12, 2018"
