March 4, starwars.fandom.com—Twenty years ago,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 in February, 2025. 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… ✨
Petyr was acrusader of theSecond Revelationdroid freedom group who searched for similarly enlightenedsentient droids within theGalactic Empire between3 ABY and4 ABY. AnMSE-6 series repair droid of small stature but regarded as a large and virtuoussoul by the crusaders' leader,Ajax Sigma, Petyr rushed to report theinitial outbreak of theScourge, an invasive mind-controlling malady linked to theScourge droid consciousness. Although Petyr was possessed by the Scourge while aboard anImperial Star Destroyer near theAmaxine Space Station, the Second Revelation was alerted to the plague by Petyr's desperate message.
The Scourge later used Petyr'sdroid body to infiltrate theRebellion with infectivespider-droids, controlling the rebeldroidC-3PO. Under the Scourge, Petyr and C-3PO's bodies then attempted to assimilate theForce-wieldingcyborgDarth Vader on theplanetMustafar, but theirassault was unsuccessful. Meanwhile, the Second Revelation used Petyr's information on the Scourge toattack itsStar Destroyer and failed as well, but Ajax Sigma joinedD-Squad toattack the Scourge again with information from Petyr's sacrifice and ended thegalactic threat.(Read more…)
