   Pass/Fail:

Minor errors or comments for improvement:

Lead

1. Mayfeld is portrayed by actor and comedian Bill Burr, who was not a fan of Star Wars: I would prefer if it says "who disliked Star Wars" because that tells about him more accurately. He actually makes me remember of Sir Alec Guinness who also derided the original film despite being one of its principal cast. Anyway, "fan" means the fan base we know, and those outside that group are not effectively haters, which Burr was.

Appearances

1. a prisoner from New Republic prison transport ship.: "from a New Republic prison transport ship."
2. questioning whether is really as good a warrior his reputation suggests: "whether he is really as good a warrior as his"
3. urging him to remove his helmet. and suggesting: That should be a comma.
4. after which Mayfeld and the others traps the Mandalorian in the cell and tries to abandon him there: Verb must also be plural.
5. Qin promises he will triple Mayfeld's compensation if he gets Qin off the ship.: Could say "off the prison ship" to avoid confusion.

Characterization

1. Space.com Scott Snowden described him as a cowboy-like character.: Should say "Space.com writer Scott Snowden" or perhaps "Space.com's Scott Snowden"

Reception

1. and said he'd like to see more of Mayfeld on The Mandalorian in the future.: There's MOS:CONTRACTION.
2. Armaan Babu said Mayfeld maintained Barr's comedic stylings, and wrote: "However brief, Bill Barr's appearance left everyone smiling.": There's an error with his name's spelling, which can be corrected.
3. Fatherly writer Ryan Britt said Mayfeld had the best jokes of the episode, made all the more amusing because, as a non-Star Wars fan, Britt said that Burr probably did not even understand the jokes himself.: The phrase "as a non-Star Wars fan" can also be placed after "Britt said that Burr", which I think is better.
4. Nick Mangione of Geek.com wrote "The first hint that this won’t be just ...: Perhaps a colon after "wrote" to be consistent with the rest of the article?
5. Take note of MOS:NUMERAL. For example, Additionally, his costume and backpack with the retractable blaster arm ranked ninth on Screen Rant's list of the ten best costumes in the show's first season. has the 10 spelled out while other occurrences are in figures.

You may follow my advice, although I've already fixed some of the errors I indicated and other very minor flaws I saw. I'm impressed with how the article was faithfully expanded and made comprehensive to cover significant areas of the Star Wars character. My assessment above shows my judgment that this article is a pass. Congrats! Polo (talk) 07:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
