Bantha
- ... that the bantha creature in Star Wars was portrayed by an elephant, who kept shrugging the costume off her body during filming due to the intense heat?
- ALT1:... that the bantha in Star Wars, was inspired in part by Banths, lion-like creatures featured in John Carter of Mars?
- ALT2:... that Anthony Daniels, the actor who played C-3PO, said the bantha was "one of the best things" in the original Star Wars film?
- ALT3:... George Lucas decided to make the bantha a live-action creature rather than use stop motion animation because he wanted a Tusken Raider to jump on its back?
Improved to Good Article status by Hunter Kahn (talk). Self-nominated at 03:12, 3 April 2020 (UTC).
for ALT1, ALT2;
for ALT2ALT3;
for the original hook, as it seems to be missing something. Article is high-quality and recently promoted to GA status. Hooks check out (with the exception of the original). Alt2 is my favourite, as I think it'll appeal to the most readers/lead to the most clicks. Josh Milburn (talk) 11:08, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks Template:U. Yes, the original alt was missing the phrase "was portrayed by an elephant", which was of course a very bad omission. LOL But I'm fine with ALT2 per your suggestion. — Hunter Kahn 17:05, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
Josh Milburn, regrettably, you are not an eligible reviewer for this nomination, since you were the reviewer at GAN per WP:DYKSG#H2: Template:Tq The idea is that a new reviewer might spot something that the original reviewer might have overlooked in their review (and indeed this has happened in the past). So we're going to need a fresh review by someone not involved with the GA review. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
