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.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
