*Re-write lead section to comply with [[WP:LS]]. A good how-to is available in the [[WP:VG]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Newsletter/20080409|newsletter]]. Note that this can only really be done when all other parts of the article are completely/nearly completed.

|copyedit=

|wikify=

*Restructure Gameplay/Story section to make the layout consistent with other video game articles. The Gameplay section should describe the main gameplay mechanics - there's no need to list each weapon, Force power, or types of saber colour you can use.

|merge=

|cleanup=

*Story:

|expand=

:*One section describing the locations and characters (split into one section on characters and one on locations if they're long enough to justify it);

|disambiguation=

:*One section giving a good-length plot synopsis (the plot isn't particularly long or complicated, so 5-6 decent-length paragraphs should be enough).

|stubs=

|update=

*Critical reception and Development section are GA- or near-GA-quality as they stand. If there are teeny niggling things like grammar, punctuation and whether or not game titles are italicised, correct them.

|npov=

|verify=

*Cite ''everything'' using [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]: features, reviews, previews from sites like [[IGN]], [[GameSpot]] and [[GameSpy]] are all considered reliable.

|other=

}}

*Basic English points such as: don't use second-person "you" (e.g. "you can choose your character's appearance" instead of "the player can choose their character's appearance") outside of quotes, use American English as this is an article about an American game.

*Convert gameplay/features section into regular, non-list format, re-writing it so that it isn't a mere comparison with its predecessor.

*Source plot summary and add a character section.

To get a good idea of what each section should look like, check out the articles at [[WP:VG#Example articles]] (a good example article would be [[JKII]] as it's a GA and deals with a very similar subject matter to this article). If you're unsure of any points then bring them up on the talk page.

*Write Development and Reception sections, augment them with information regarding the modding scene.

*Add more useful screenshots (i.e. showing more than just saber combat in singleplayer).

*Source everything.
