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… ✨
Dreanna Conunda was a human pilot who worked as a flight instructor at the New Republic academy on the planet Chandrila, also acting as a test pilot for the Corellian Engineering Corporation. By 35 ABY, she had joined the Resistance in its war against the First Order, serving as a pilot at the Resistance base on the moon Ajan Kloss. Conunda flew as captain of the YC-123B transport hauler Fortitude, with Lieutenant Gandris Dyun as her co-pilot. The pair shared compatibility and chemistry, and there were rumors that their relationship went beyond professional.
When the Resistance mounted its attack on the Sith Eternal's forces on the planet Exegol, Conunda transported the Resistance's Exegol landing team on board the Fortitude through the Galactic Barrier that separated Exegol from the rest of the galaxy. After reaching Exegol, she spotted the navigation tower that the landing team were tasked with destroying, but it was deactivated before the transport could reach it.
General Finn then had Conunda land the Fortitude on the surface of the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer Steadfast, the new source of the signal that had been transmitted from the tower. The landing team charged from the transport and successfully stopped the signal, after which Conunda evacuated the survivors from the Star Destroyer's surface and eventually returned them to Ajan Kloss after the Resistance claimed victory.
