Twenty years ago today,Star Wars fans were eagerly awaiting theREVENGE OF THE SITH, exploring the depths ofNar Shaddaa in theKNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II, and beginning to buildWOOKIEEPEDIA—theStar Wars wiki. As an ever-growing community of volunteers, the Wookieepedia project now celebrates its 20th year.
Our encyclopedia officially reached200,000 articles last month. This was only possible with the work of hundreds upon hundreds of fans over the past twenty years. Most Wookieepedians started off editing with little to no writing or coding experience, but our efforts have brought us closer to the goal of creating the most accurate, comprehensive, and well-presented resource about all thingsStar Wars.
Since Wookieepedia'stenth anniversary in 2015, we have expanded thebreadth, depth, and quality of our documentation of both theStar Wars Legends and the newcanon continuities, as well as coverage ofStar Wars media and production behind the scenes. Wookieepedia has also been buildinga more friendly and welcoming community. Informed by our contributors' experiences, we have launched ongoing efforts in revamping ourpolicies to be clearer and more fair, improving accessibility, and developing newediting tutorials.
Since 2015, editor recruitment has advanced on Wookieepedia, with the great majority of the currentadministrators andreview board members having joined those groups in recent years. The past ten years has also seen the progress of theDiscussions forum and the launch of twenty-two new collaborativeWookieeProjects. These include theProject Stardust initiative focusing on essential topics andProject Pride's efforts to improve the wiki's coverage of LGBTQIA+ topics. Most external links on Wookieepedia now havebackup archival links to keep a better record of the ever-changing Internet, andbot systems have automated many monotonous site maintenance tasks such as page archivals for thestatus article peer review system.
Our work continues unabated. Thousands more pagesneed to be created,lack citations,await expansion, and could usemore images. All the while, the franchise continues to grow andrequire updates. As we enter our third decade, we would love for more readers tojoin our ranks! May the Force be with us in the next twenty years… ✨
The High Republic: Trials of the Jedi
The final confrontation between the Jedi and the Nihil…
Zodoh was aHuttcrime lord during the lateryears of theNew Sith Wars, a conflict between theGalactic Republic and theSith, who profited by sellingslaves and munitions to the Sith based inHutt Space. By1032 BBY, Zodoh had grown weary of the constant warfare between the Huttclans and set out to expand his influence into the Sith-dominatedGrumani sector. The key to Zodoh's plans was hisfleet ofStormdrivers,starships which were capable of harnessingmoisture fromplanetaryatmospheres and unleashing it as storms which could flood an entire world, wiping out all life. As a demonstration of his power to theSith Lords operating in the area, Zodohtested his new weapon on the planetAquilaris Minor in theDaimanate, a region ofspace controlled by the SithLordDaiman. The Hutt was forced to abort theoperation early whenJenn Devaad, a Republicstarfighterpilot and former slave of Zodoh's, set off a number of explosives aboard Zodoh'sflagship, theVoracious, disrupting the coordination of the Stormdrivers.
The Stormdrivers still proved successful, and Zodoh soon turned his attention to Daiman'scapital world ofDarkknell. Although he caught Daiman's forces off-guard, Zodoh'sattack on Darknell was foiled by Devaad and theJedi KnightKerra Holt. TheVoracious was destroyed, effectively disabling the Stormdriver fleet, and Zodoh was left stranded in thevacuum of space. Following the battle, Zodoh was found injured but alive by Daiman's forces and taken before the Sith Lord, who used a miniature Stormdriver to exact revenge by dehydrating the Hutt.(Read more…)
