No, that's 'wookiee' with two ee's

I guess it says something about Star Wars and its fandom that there are a whole bunch of databases dedicated to exceptionally dry and detailed specs of made-up ships, weapons and technology -- it's like Jane's meets the begats -- but no amount of googling seems able to provide me a reliable, intelligible or easily find-able timeline that addresses ( Read more... )

It was definitely something! Those were entertaining times, for sure.

I KNOW, RITE? I feel sort of bad, but half the reason I stopped writing Star Wars fic was simply because I didn't have easy access to my monstrous library of paperback SW books. And wookieepedia is USELESS when it comes to timelines, especially considering how much crap is always going on in a given year...

Also, is it just me, or is this font really tiny?

Seriously! I have fic to post, I just need to check myself on whether what I think happened actually happened, or if I just made it up in my own personal canon for this character. :(

Wookieepedia is... inconsistent. It's really good for some stuff, not so much for other things.
