Links leading nowhere
editHi, I'm not sure where to classify this but on several related pages (most prominently actors who have been in Star Wars), the page has a link to the actor's Star Wars character (who is not predominant enough to have their own page) on this page, but the character does not appear in this list.
Off the top of my head I have two examples, one is Sofia Coppola as Saché--
"(for example, she appeared as Saché, one of Queen Padmé Amidala's five handmaidens, in George Lucas' 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace)."[[Sofia Coppola#:~:text=(for example, she appeared as Saché, one of Queen Padmé Amidala's five handmaidens, in George Lucas' 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace).[27]|1]]
-- which has the link Saché lead to "List of Star Wars characters#S", however Sache is not listed as a character on this page. This also occurs with actor Keisha Castle-Hughes, who is credited as Queen Apailana in RotS--
"In 2005, Castle-Hughes had a small part as Queen Apailana in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith."2
-- which has the link Queen Apailana lead to "List of Star Wars characters#A", however (again) Queen Apailana is not listed as a character on this page.
I understand that not every character in Star Wars needs to be listed on this page (or indeed should, as there are far too many characters for that to work), however I do think that if you're going to go to the trouble of linking the actor's character (on the actor's page) to this page, the link should at least lead to the character, or else why bother linking it?

- This page has gone through major splits and deletions (sample of where Saché, etc went). Looks like the incoming redirects need to be brought up to date or deleted. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 13:21, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
List order - by last name or first?
editSeeing a few errors in the alphabetical order of this list, as I think there's some confusion here (and I apologize if this has been asked before, or if I am missing if this is addressed).
How are we listing these characters? By first or last name alphabetically? A majority of them are by last name though there are people going by first. For example, Cid Scaleback is under C. Same with Caleb Dume/Kanan Jarris. Some do follow the format of sorting alphabetically by last name but there are just a few out of order.
Hoping to fix this and make these changes but want to see if there is a set rule for how this list is organized. Squiddyonwiki (talk) 09:47, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Acolyte?
editShould we include the characters from the Acolyte? HiGuys69420 (talk) 20:45, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
