Lit Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki

Yeah, I was subbed to him before they started putting the videos on pages.

 

Funny enough, his videos being on the wiki got me interested in his content in the first place. XD

 

Hey guys, I am curios about this. How did Wookieepedia decide that this part of the holiday special is canon?

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Joh_blastoh

 

Maybe because Leland chee wrote it?

I mean most other Star Wars channels are clickbait trash or just very opinionated about one part of Star Wars being bad. Which is probably why the Wiki chose him

 

Oh my bad! I've gotten used to ignoring these boxes. What originally confused me was this canon marking.

 

"in: Canon articles, Non-canon articles" lol

 

Yeah, the "non-canon but within Legends" has that as well.

Maybe an Infinities label would be better? *shrugs*

 

This is ridiculous. Tonra, Richard Armitage's character from TPM who was later featured in Queen's Peril, Queen's Shadow, and the recent Vader comics, is not actually considered to be Richard Armitage's character from TPM by Wookieepedia, because "no canon source has currently made this connection."

 

Oh good grief.

Honestly I think the vast majority of the Wook crowd are absolutely amazing. But every once in a while you get. That.

Checking the page, it actually wouldn't be so bad if they just included TPM as one of his sources. Like, the idiotic Behind the Scenes wording could be passed by, since the main article describes his role. But the lack of TPM's inclusion in "Appearances" confirms they've chosen to disregard EK Johnston. Also the second Amidala novel that had him in the same scenes as the TPM character.

 

And yet they put Exar Kun as canon just because his name shows up on a table that one has to decipher.

 

Tector-class Star Destroyer Harbinger from The Levers of Power and Keyser Salm from Rendezvous Point don't have ROTJ appearances yet. They imply it. My list says otherwise.

 

I have come across something that perplexes me, and I need answers.

I was scrolling through newly updated pages on Wookieepedia this evening, and came across this:



What is going on here? It looks like EV-9D9 is attacking Wicket with um... I literally have no idea. The front half of Luke's speeder? Some weird GFFA musical instrument?

I realize this is from the Super ROTJ Nintendo game, but information is lacking. I had the first one and have fond memories of its oddities, but truth be told nothing came close to what I'm seeing here. Is there a story behind this? I suppose there might be a walkthrough on Youtube, but I'd rather half some type of explanation here ("EV is actually an Ewok demigod and this is why they react to C-3PO with such fear" or "This is an obscure reference to that one Ewok cartoon where...")

I mean if anything, this makes me miss these games. I feel you can only get away with this bizarre stuff now in Lego form. As if being a Lego excuses it.

 

I don't think there's any story other than "the programmer really wanted EV9D9 to be a boss". I just took a look at the Wook (ha, it rhymes!) for the enemy list for this game.

It includes purple mantises, tree frogs, blue royal guards, and *dinosaurs*. EV9D9 is not the weirdest thing going on here.

 

Well, mantises and frogs do kind of exist (although the most literal frogs are more recent canon than that game). The question is kind of like what kind of weird half-speeder-half-pump-organ-thing are they riding when they try to jack Wicket up.

 

I don't know what Abel G. Peña or Rich Handley are up to nowadays, but if either one has a time machine handy there's a Hyperspace-circa-2009 article begging to be written here.

 

Other favorites from those games: an AT-ST that hops like a kangaroo, a giant lava monster living in the Sandcrawler, Jabba's annoying doorman droid inexplicably now Godzilla-sized...

I love SNES bosses so much.

 

EV-9D9 is the Ewok anti-Christ?

 

So I've never played the Super Star Wars games, but I heard that in Super Empire Strikes Back you can insta-kill AT-AT's by shooting them in the head or neck? I just recently found out that in Rogue Squadron 64 you can deal double damage to AT-AT's by shooting them in the head, such that doing so is a viable alternative to using the tow cable in the snowspeeder levels if you have the advanced lasers upgrade. So that seems like an interesting little reference.

 

It's irritating to me that the Wook still includes TCW seasons 1-6 info in their Legends articles. This, imo, screws things up and makes it confusing, as we've all been over before (Adi Galia deaths, Assajj's fate, the existence of Ahsoka, Anakin's knighting timeline, etc.).

Not to mention, since season 7 aired after Disney's EU canon wipe, that season is canon-only. Which means stuff like Spider Maul and Ahsoka is shoehorned into Legends because of S1-6 being pre-canon-wipe - yet we don't know how their stories ended in Legends due to S7 being post-canon-wipe. It's a clusterkark. Lucasfilm should've done the canon wipe in 2008 and not 2014, they were just too nervous of the backlash.

 

They should have, sure. But because they didn't, 1-6 remain in Legends, so Wookieepedia has to reflect that.

 

I have found a conundrum.

Battle of D'Qar.

In their strength category they have every ship present at D'Qar.

Problem is: the combat happened between the Dreadnought and its TIE complement vs. Resistance bombers, A-wings and X-wings. Raddus and the Resistance Fleet and the 3 First Order Destroyers were simply there.

 

Depends, doesn't it. Does the Executor count at the Battle of Hoth? Do we know that every Star Destroyer at Endor actively participated? The Raddus should certainly count since Leia's coordinating from there (and Poe's squad would have launched from it -- same deal with the Resistance bombers from the Ninka).

I think it's getting too much into the weeds to try and figure out exactly what roles every ship played. If it's present, it's part of the battle. I'd rather that, if only for reference's sake, than omitting ships on a subjective basis of "did they count towards the battle?"
