Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki, is a Wiki which was started on March 4, 2005 by Chad "WhiteBoy" Barbry. It strives to be the premiere source for information on all aspects of the Star Wars universe. This includes information from the Star Wars films and Expanded Universe, as well as relevant information of value to fans. The Star Wars Wiki is considered to be a branch of Wikipedia, but can expand on Star Wars information in greater detail and with more freedom than Wikipedia. The Star Wars Wiki began when wikipedia users began to complain of the overabundance of minutiae related to Star Wars, which began appearing on Wikipedia. | '''Wookieepedia''', the Star Wars Wiki, is a Wiki which was started on March 4, 2005 by Chad "WhiteBoy" Barbry.
