March 4, starwars.fandom.com—Twenty years ago today, Star Wars fans were eagerly awaiting the REVENGE OF THE SITH, exploring the depths of Nar Shaddaa in the KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II, and beginning to build WOOKIEEPEDIA—the Star Wars wiki. As an ever-growing community of volunteers, the Wookieepedia project now celebrates its 20th year.
Our encyclopedia officially reached 200,000 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 things Star Wars.
Since Wookieepedia's tenth anniversary in 2015, we have expanded the breadth, depth, and quality of our documentation of both the Star Wars Legends and the new canon continuities, as well as coverage of Star Wars media and production behind the scenes. Wookieepedia has also been building a more friendly and welcoming community. Informed by our contributors' experiences, we have launched ongoing efforts in revamping our policies to be clearer and more fair, improving accessibility, and developing new editing tutorials.
Since 2015, editor recruitment has advanced on Wookieepedia, with the great majority of the current administrators and review board members having joined those groups in recent years. The past ten years has also seen the progress of the Discussions forum and the launch of twenty-two new collaborative WookieeProjects. These include the Project Stardust initiative focusing on essential topics and Project Pride's efforts to improve the wiki's coverage of LGBTQIA+ topics. Most external links on Wookieepedia now have backup archival links to keep a better record of the ever-changing Internet, and bot systems have automated many monotonous site maintenance tasks such as page archivals for the status article peer review system.
Our work continues unabated. Thousands more pages need to be created, lack citations, await expansion, and could use more images. All the while, the franchise continues to grow and require updates. As we enter our third decade, we would love for more readers to join our ranks! May the Force be with us in the next twenty years… ✨
Lieutenant Wrobie Tyce was a human female pilot who served in the Resistance. The wife of the human Larma D'Acy, Tyce served as a courier pilot until D'Acy decided to join the Resistance movement, a venture that Tyce not only supported but also entered, flying in Cobalt Squadron in an RZ-2 A-wing interceptor. She escaped being killed when the rest of her squadron perished at the retreat from the planet D'Qar in 34 ABY, as she was away on a separate mission.
In 35 ABY, she was present on the moon Ajan Kloss for multiple meetings, including the funeral of General Leia Organa and a session where plans were made for the Battle of Exegol against the Sith Eternal. She went on to pilot her A-wing starfighter at the battle, which began unfavorably for the Resistance as their expected reinforcements had not yet arrived. Just as the situation seemed particularly dire and General Poe Dameron was about to order a retreat, the Citizens' Fleet arrived, allowing the Resistance to destroy the Sith Eternal's Star Destroyers. Tyce later celebrated the victory with her wife back on Ajan Kloss. (Read more…)
