The content of the article is good enough, however, it would be nice to get this to FA. So, any suggestions as to how?

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic
javascript program. They may or may not be accurate for the article in question (due to possible javascript errors/uniqueness of articles). If the following suggestions are completely incorrect about the article, please drop a note on
my talk page.
Per
WP:CONTEXT and
WP:MOSDATE, months and days of the week generally should not be linked (Don't link
September or
Tuesday unless there is really good reason to). Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide
context for the article.
Per
WP:MOSNUM, there should be a no-break space - between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18 mm.
Generally, trivia sections are looked down upon; please either remove the trivia section or incorporate any important facts into the rest of the article.
There are a few occurrences of
weasel words in this article- please observe
WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.
This article needs
footnotes, preferably in the
cite.php format recommended by
WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with
WP:CITE or
WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.
To assist you with this, add {{subst:js|User:AndyZ/monobook.js/footnotehelper.js}} to your monobook.js file (mine is located at
User:AndyZ/monobook.js) and then bypass your browser's cache by pressing: Mozilla/Safari/Konqueror: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl-Shift-R), Internet Explorer: press Ctrl-F5, Opera: press F5. In editing mode, click on the "Footnote creater" tab that appears.
The article will need references. See
WP:CITE and
WP:V for more information.
The dates problem identified by AndyZ can be fixed quickly: simply copy the entire contents of
User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work. This will give you a 'Dates' tab to press in edit mode. Hope that helps.

Some recent film articles got hammered at the FAC for the number of fair-use images they were using, so may I suggest you cut down. I can suggest the following could be removed: The Rebels being fired upon on Hoth (the previous image is probably enough), and maybe the Bespin image, but see how it goes. But definantly ditch the novel cover and the 1997 poster, trust me, the images need to be kept to a low number. Change "Reaction" to "Reception", and ditch the subheadings, merge notable content into paragraphs, not lists or boxes. The radio drama section doesnt need subheadings and must be turned into paragraphs. The "Error" and "Trivia" lists need to go, though salvage what info is useful, trivia is almost always a cause for objection at the FAC, get it out in my opinon. The description of the films poster in the infobox could be inappropriate, how well known is that comparison? I havent checked this, but make sure all images have fair use rationales and you havent over-wikified things. Also, get rid of the cast table, see Revenge of the Sith/V for Vendetta and other film FAs for ideas. Good luck!
