I'm probably biased as the document submitter, but this was probably one of the single funniest goddamned episodes ever.

A few things included in the doc that were not used in the episode:

Bevel Lemelisk, the guy who built EVERY weapon of mass destruction in the Star Wars universe.

Callista Ming, Luke Skywalker's love interest in multiple novels who was the ghost of a dead Jedi. Luke repeatedly made out with her while she was possessing the body of one of Luke's dead apprentices.

Waru, a giant, inter-dimensional pile of meat covered in gold plates that ate Jedi

The Yuuzhan Vong, an race of extra-galactic sado-masochists who only used organic technology and killed over 300 trillion when they tried to invade the Star Wars galaxy

That snow monster that tried to eat Luke at the start of The Empire Strikes Back, who later rallied an army of other snow monsters to kill Luke Skywalker when he briefly returned to Planet Hoth in the novel Darksaber

Some stuff I came across but didn't include in the document because it was too inside baseball for the podcast:

(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/0/01/Bo-shek.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20111029223530)
BoShek (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/BoShek/Legends), aka "That dumpy guy Obi Wan talked to in the background of the Cantina", who is revealed in the novels to be a better smuggler than Han Solo and also secretly a Jedi and just generally the raddest most awesome character ever, MOM!

IG-88 (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/IG-88B), one of the bounty hunters who shows up in the background of a single scene in The Empire Strikes Back. A short story about him reveals he secretly uploaded his brain into the Second Death Star before Return of the Jedi and was about to secretly conquer the universe before said Death Star got blown up.

(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/a/ad/C3-PX.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/180?cb=20110107155114)
C-3PX (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/C-3PX), an evil C-3PO that shoots people.

Triclops (http://Triclops), the Emperor's secret, evil, mutant son with three eyes who is not to be mistaken for Trioculus (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Trioculus), who was a different mutant with three eyes who pretended to be the Emperor's secret, evil, mutant son with three eyes.

(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/d/d1/Gh3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20060710190009)
The Abominor (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Abominor), a race of immortal robot monsters from another galaxy who made the Yuuzhan Vong afraid of technology. The first appearance of a member of their species in Star Wars media was The Great Heep (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Great_Heep), a giant pile of garbage that ate robots who appeared in a 1980s cartoon special starring C-3PO and R2-D2.

(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/e/e9/Jaxxon-gamer.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20061025214956)
And Jaxxon (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jaxxon/Legends), an anthropomorphic green rabbit who hung out with Han Solo and bore a weird resemblance to cartoon character Bucky O'Hare (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucky_O%27Hare). Note that this was one of the characters Disney decided to  make part of the canon Star Wars universe (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jaxxon).

I got basically every passing reference in this episode, in case you wanted to know how much of a terrible nerd I am.

Insufferable SW Nerd time! (Wookieepedia editing was my pastime when I was 12.) That story was published in Star Wars Tales under the Infinities label, meaning that it was always considered non-canon.

The EU version is that R2-D2 purposely sabotaged the droid, meaning the cute sidekick character from the film is really both ruthless and amoral when it comes to completing his mission, willing to cripple/ potentially kill innocent individuals of his kind if it helps him finish his job faster.

The Disney version tries to fix this by having the red droid wake up while R2  is attempting to sabotage him. R2 then explains his mission to stop the Death Star, and the other droid consents to the sabotage and even self-sabotages himself. So canon R2 is just as ruthless, but just doesn’t get the opportunity to act on that. Which is somehow better?

While Skippy does share the stupidity of the EU, it misses the telltale signs of needless cruelty that pervades it.

Man, did I completely waste my childhood.

There's two origin points I can see for Wookiepedia's tiny useless detail fetish.

One comes from Star Wars material itself: because the movies make a bunch of reference to things that wouldn't necessarily exist in a space fantasy setting, a bunch of supplemental material emerged to explain what hell means when someone says "I'll see you in hell" or what a duck is in the phrase "we'll be sitting ducks". So you can't take for granted what 'hell' is, because someone went and said "Corellian mythology refers to the netherworld of the force as Hell, while other cultures call it Chaos or The Void."

That leads into reason number two: Because you can't take anything for granted, Wookiepedia's policy became to explain everything that showed up in Star Wars, and because there wasn't a clear policy distinction between, say, "Hell is a name for a region of the force" and "Breasts were usually found on mammals  or near-mammals" it meant that eventually everything wound up on the wiki.

After reading that, I decided to look up the explanation for how "X-wings" are named after a letter that doesn't exist in the Star Wars alphabet, which led me to the surprisingly familiar other Star Wars alphabet (http://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/High_Galactic_alphabet) and eventually to this very F Plus Jedi.

I think another factor is that Wookieepedia branched off from Wikipedia in the days before editors started heavily cracking down on the "In Popular Culture" sections of articles. For anyone who doesn't remember, around 2005-2007 a lot of articles for things on Wikipedia had a section called "In Popular Culture" which, due to poor editorial oversight, were basically lists of every time something came up in a cartoon or tv show ("In episode 2 of Space Dandy, Space Dandy eats a bowl of ramen!"). Wikipedia eventually began to crack down on this sort of behavior and I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of users who were really into making those sections migrated to places like Wookieepedia and other niche wikis.

I also feel like a lot of nerds, particularly the sorts of nerds who were into programming at the internet in the early 2000s, have a really mechanical and structured way of perceiving the world which causes them to treat things like fiction in much the same way one would treat information relating to the hard sciences: As a collection of facts and information. This tends to result in the kind of mindset you see from places like Wookieepedia or TV Tropes: A desire to catalog and identify minutiae without any sort of understanding of how this information fits together into a larger whole.

Okay, so a long-dormant memory just came back to me and it's that I KNOW WHAT THE BISCUIT BARON IS A REFERENCE TO.

I liked comics as a young kid, but my parents had no concept of, say, getting me the same comic in sequential issues, so there were titles that I had literally one issue of. Star Wars happens to be one of those. I have only literally only ever owned one issue of the Marvel Star Wars comics, but the guy that the Biscuit Baron logo is referencing was the villain in that comic. He's some guy that took Luke's lightsaber and then Luke got it back. That's about it. And his glasses actually looked like that.

This is easily up there as a new favourite of mine. The material is incredible and the jokes were 100% on point all the way through.

I love star wars a lot, both genuinely and because he entire idea of the whole thing is completely bonkers.

As we've seen from this episode, and also most of the newer films, and also the last 40 years of Trekkies, almost everything about star wars is insane, unnecessary, overwrought, grade a bullshit. S tier nonsense. The original trilogy are genuinely good fantasy films with the rare bonus strength of having a space setting but saying fuck you to the trappings of actual science fiction, and they somehow manage that despite literally everything else about Star Wars being fucking nuts. It went off the rails basically immediately! Fucking jizz and the holiday special happened and basically none of that is evident in the films which were just like this is a blue musician and this is a tall hairy man, have fun!

Star Wars is one of those thing you couldn't create if you tried. It happened by accident (because it made enough money that no-one could be fired).

I'm still laughing at jokes from the episode that keep coming back to me as I type this.

Edit: oh and the thing I love about wookieepedia specifically is how you can immediately see shit go wild on literally every article. Like, the canon pages all read like perfectly normal fandom articles, like "The Max Rebo Band was a 12 member band..." and then you click legends and it says "the Max Rebo Band, also known as The Max Rebo Twelve and (originally) Evar Orbus and His Galactic Jizz-Wailers..." next to a psychedelic  poster full of naked aliens. Also shoutout to the capital His like Max Rebo is God.

I'm reminded of...


I've seen multiple Star Wars movies many times in theaters, and many times more on DVD.
I have a Millennium Falcon toy on my computer desk, and have spent tens and dozens of hours over the years watching Star Wars theory and lore videos on YouTube.

All that being said, I've never heard of 99% of the shit mentioned in this reading. What the freaking heck, how is this real?

I think Star Wars to me is kind of like the Space Shuttle.

The Space shuttle, we think of it as this cool sleek airplane-like thing flying through space right?

But really, it's just a big ass extremely delicate airplane that can't actually fly, and has a bunch of clunky bullshit strapped all over it just to get off the ground.

But once you strip away all the stupid shit that ruins its profile, and intentionally forget about the fact that its kind of dangerous and unreliable, you can still admire it and feel proud of what it did accomplish in spite of that.

I looked it up, and all I got was a page for Kilian Plunkett (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Kilian_Plunkett), an artist. I wouldn't mention it otherwise, but in his wiki picture he looks like Mike Stoklasa, too, which I find a pretty funny coincidence on top of a coincidence.

So I've never seen any star wars movie except episode 1 when I was 11. I thought Amidala had very cool costumes and that's as much as I've ever engaged w the franchise/fandom, everything I know about it is just what I absorbed from the internet.

I'm assuming everything that is discussed in this episode happens on screen in the movies. The most recent one ended with them eating cake at a party, right?

Star Wars Tales wasn't canon even back when everything was canon.  Which is a shame since they also had an issue where Indiana Jones went hunting for Bigfoot and found the crashed Millennial Falcon and Han Solo's skeleton in the cockpit.  Bigfoot was Chewbacca natch.

Also, a lot of the way too detailed descriptions are from West End Games.  They got in on the Star Wars action before everyone else and had carte blanche to make up whatever they wanted to fill in the backstory for their rpg source books.  And then a bunch of the first rounds of novels used that nonsense to help pad out the length of the books and made it stick around even longer.

I still have a ton of WEG books in my closet I should do something with.

I saw this video pop up on social media (haven't watched it) but I love how when something new that jedi can do shows up people have to scour through all of Star Wars canon where that might have come in useful and retroactively figure out why they didn't use it there, as well as for every other instance afterwards where the writer for a particular story forgets about that power or doesn't know about it because they don't have time to read every Star Wars story published since all their time is taken up with writing Star Wars stories apparently.

I feel like, when you have a laser sword that can cut through metal, it's probably not that big a deal to make a killing form.  Like, you can probably just waggle your laser sword vaguely around and murder a guy.

The OT at least implied that the telekinesis was advanced-level shit, while the sabers are basically a more dangerous stick, and it's pretty easy to swing a stick around a bit.

I never finished the other trilogies, but I assume they made things all weird, even leaving aside the ocean of strange SF id that is the EU.

In extended universe stuff it was theorized that the force was used subconsciously constantly during lightsaber combat to keep the practitioners from accidentally cutting off their own legs or whatever when swinging around a weapon that can cut through anything, as well as intercept and usefully deflect laser blasts. Now that I've written this I am full of shame.

The biggest problem with the EU- and nerd discussion in general- is that the story is SUPPOSED to inspire questions of heroism and redemption and why Imperialism Bad, but apparently for a lot of fans the important thing to question is "Why would Han Solo say parsecs, which is a length measure? I MUST CLOSE THIS PLOT HOLE WITH SCIENCE! Which is definitely what the creators were focused on!"

This episode killed me when I listened to it, and reading through this thread killed me again. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I found something that seemed amusingly similar.

So, I googled Vulcans from Star Trek and the first thing that came up was a fandom wiki link, which I clicked. I saw that the term "emotion" had it's own page and thought back to this episode of the F Plus. Of course, I wanted to know what emotions are in the Star Trek universe (apparently 'An emotion, or emotional state, is a physical state which can either be a response to an external stimuli or the product of a memory. The state can either be positive or negative. In sentient species, the emotion can trigger a feeling. Emotions can be observed through facial expressions and body language. (TNG: "Shades of Gray", "Data's Day").' I've never seen Star Trek Next Generation, but I sure am glad that it devoted a few episodes to covering what emotions are, or we might not know what exactly that term means in the Star Trek universe.

The reason I posted here, though, is that it also has a list of emotional states. Some of which have their own pages. The pages for individual emotions all follow the same format: a few sentences to describe the emotion, then a series of disjointed paragraphs describing episodes in Star Trek in which that emotion was present. Most of the pages just seem to refer to other emotions in their descriptions. For example, the page for frustration refers to annoyance, which itself has a page that refers to irritation and anger, each of which have their own pages which refers to annoyance. Others have circular definitions, for example: "Protectiveness was an emotion characterized by being protective of another individual."

Anger and rage are included separately in the list of emotions, but both redirect to the page on anger (images for this page: Nog_angry.jpg and Khan!!!.jpg)

Optimism is listed as an emotion, but pessimism is not. Similarly, "motherhood" is listed as an emotion, but fatherhood is not. After imagining someone saying that she was feeling motherhood today and giggling to myself like the idiot that I am, I clicked that on that link and found that it actually went to the "parent" article, subsection "mother." It turns out that the terms mother and mommy have been known since the original series, but fans were forced to wait until Star Trek Next Generation to learn what the french call their "maternal parents." I wonder when they'll get around to the other languages.

Shock is listed as an emotion. It redirects to a page that describes shock as a medical condition, but then lists what seems to be every example in Star Trek in which someone has either been emotionally shocked or physically gone into shock.

Rejection is listed as an emotion, but links to a page dedicated to transplant rejection.

Anyways, link if anyone here is confused about what emotions are in Star Trek and is just dying to know https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Emotion

Well if this is the right place to post it, I am happy to further inform you that the Star Trek wiki also has a page on religion, which says that "The primary faiths of Earth were considered to include Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, and Wicca. During Doctor Phlox's stay on Earth, he made a point of studying a number of Earth religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity. (DIS: "New Eden"; ENT: "Cold Front")".

Wicca even has its own page, which says "Wicca was a Human religion, one of Earth's primary faiths as of the mid-21st century. It was often symbolized by a pentacle."

Wikipedia's list of religious populations for 2020 lists Neo-Paganism as the 20th largest grouping out of 22 listed categories, at 0.01% of the population (1 million people). I'm so disappointed that the Wiki doesn't go into the Star Trek Great Wiccan Revival that apparently catapulted it from a weird fringe group to one of humanity's "primary faiths."

The "human religion" page also has a background information section with a subheading "Star Trek as religion." The first bullet point on that list reads:
The 1999 book Star Trek and Sacred Ground, particularly the essay "Star Trek Fandom as a Religious Phenomenon", discussed how themes in Star Trek "relate to a philosophy of life that fans will commit themselves to," describing "Star Trek as folk religion." Conventions are compared to "religious pilgrimages."

Goddamn, I love fandom wikis trying to explain real-world things as if they were SF concepts, especially when it reveals that they know less about basic human emotions than they do complicated fandom esoterica

Anyway, I'm gonna assume that the Great Wicca Revival happened in the Star Trek universe once post-scarcity tech allowed everyone a supply of high-energy crystals. We just never see anyone replicating fresh rose quartz for their chakra healing on camera, that's all.

It seems that the Star Wars wiki has a page for breasts but not one for butts, while the Star Trek wiki has one for butts but not one for breasts. So if you want to be the person to find every single instance an ass shows up in Star Wars and record it for Wookiepedia, it's up for grabs. As for the butt page on the Star Trek wiki, I think they made this page as another excuse to use the picture of the back of some naked woman that shows the top half of her ass (apparently showing "the Vulcan posterior" is very necessary for their long, boring section on Vulcan anatomy).

According to Memory Alpha, this is what a butt is:

The butt, behind, bum, backside, rear end, or ass was the part of the body upon which a lifeform sat, situated at the end of their back and, in bipeds, above the legs, and in quadrupeds, above the rear legs.


Then it lists all 15 episodes of Star Trek in which butts are mentioned in passing, so if there are any Star Trek fans who were hoping to make an ass related playlist, they've got you covered.

Also, wow, turns out the wikipedia page on buttocks is great as well. It taught me a lot of new ass related terms and also made me learn the distinction between synecdoche and pars pro toto.
