March 4, starwars.fandom.com—Twenty years ago, 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 in February, 2025. 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… ✨
Petyr was a crusader of the Second Revelation droid freedom group who searched for similarly enlightened sentient droids within the Galactic Empire between 3 ABY and 4 ABY. An MSE-6 series repair droid of small stature but regarded as a large and virtuous soul by the crusaders' leader, Ajax Sigma, Petyr rushed to report the initial outbreak of the Scourge, an invasive mind-controlling malady linked to the Scourge droid consciousness. Although Petyr was possessed by the Scourge while aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer near the Amaxine Space Station, the Second Revelation was alerted to the plague by Petyr's desperate message.
The Scourge later used Petyr's droid body to infiltrate the Rebellion with infective spider-droids, controlling the rebel droid C-3PO. Under the Scourge, Petyr and C-3PO's bodies then attempted to assimilate the Force-wielding cyborg Darth Vader on the planet Mustafar, but their assault was unsuccessful. Meanwhile, the Second Revelation used Petyr's information on the Scourge to attack its Star Destroyer and failed as well, but Ajax Sigma joined D-Squad to attack the Scourge again with information from Petyr's sacrifice and ended the galactic threat.
