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…





CorporalDelevar was aHumanmale who served with theAlliance to Restore the Republic during theGalactic Civil War. Trained as amedic and ascout, he served withGeneralCrix Madine'sSpecForces. In3 ABY, he was part of the force assigned to theAlliance High Command'sEcho Base on the iceplanetHoth. Surviving theBattle of Hoth, Delevar regrouped with theAlliance Fleet, and remained stationed with the armada for ayear. In4 ABY, the Alliance learned that theGalactic Empire was constructing asecond Death Star inorbit of theforest moon ofEndor, and decided tostrike at thesuperweapon while it was still being built. However, the half-completedbattle station was protected by an energyshield generated from afacility on the surface of themoon. Astrike team was organized to infiltrate the moon, and deactivate theshield generator. Delevar volunteered to be part of the team; although he was considered to be a rookiesoldier byMajorBren Derlin, the unit commander, he was highly recommended by General Madine.
Delevar attended the briefing aboard the AllianceflagshipHome One, during which Madine laid out the intended plan of attack, and he later traveled to Endor on board the stolen ImperialLambda-class T-4a shuttleTydirium. Following an encounter with an Imperialscout trooper patrol, Delevar and the strike team separated from the command crew led by the formersmuggler, GeneralHan Solo. Following orders to rendezvous with the general at 0300, the strike team avoided Imperial patrols until they encountered anAll Terrain Scout Transport while making camp for the night. Delevar managed to subdue the walker with a clean shot into its opencockpit with asmoke canister fired from aCaspel launcher that forced the crew to abandon the vehicle. Delevar then participated in the ground engagement of the Battle of Endor, which saw the destruction of the shield generator that subsequently allowed Alliancestarfighters to destroy the Death Star.(Read more…)Below are some of the current community projects happening around Wookieepedia.
