Another Whackipedia tips up

A long time ago, in a Wiki far, far away…

GROOOOWAAARRRRGGGH! How did we miss this one? Following on from our report on the All-American, God-Fearing Conservapedia, a reader points our browsers at another, even stranger spin-off, Wookieepedia.

We learn that if something is in-universe, it belongs to the Star Wars universe exclusively and not to the real world. Characters are in-universe, but the actors who play them are out-of-universe. Another example is that the correspondent in-universe term for the English language is Galactic Basic, which is the common language in Star Wars. Pseudohistory is an integral part of in-universe treatment of canon material.

Hope that's clear.

Wookieepedia has been around for a couple of years and we can only assume that our long-range scanners didn't pick it up before because it was hiding behind the Rebel Moon of Endor, or, more likely, we were busy out-of-universe, having a life. µ

Inq Factoid:
Anyone can edit Wookieepedia, unlike Conservapedia, which is closed to unbelievers.

Rebel moon

Lol - the moon of Endor was Imperial affiliated. You must be getting confused with the Rebel moon of Yavin!

I'm glad you stumbled upon our little site.
