Wookieepedia: The Star Wars Wiki is an online encyclopedia for information about the Star Wars universe[1]—including information on all the films, books, television series, the Star Wars Expanded Universe, any upcoming Star Wars material, and more. It is a wiki with some articles reaching up to 60,000 words,[2] and is written almost entirely from an in-universe perspective. The name is a portmanteau of Wookiee and encyclopedia, a pun on the name of Wikipedia. The logo, too, is a visual pun showing the incomplete second Death Star as opposed to Wikipedia's incomplete "jigsaw logo".
