Wookiepedia's reliance on the 'Star Wars Fact File'...

Post by SuperSaiyaMan12 »

I'm sure you know how much they rely on this crap for a source, especially for the really small length for the Home One of 1300 meters. Don't they realize how much that contradicts other sources or do they just want to ignore the movies?

Wookie has literally every comic, game and EU novel plot in there, take it with a grain of salt.

That's pretty much it. They don't seem to bother differentiating between different canon levels, simply taking everything as fact.

I wonder how they determine what to publish if given three different stats for the same ship........hmmmmmmmmmm.

Whichever one came out first, I'd imagine. It's what they did for the infamous argument over the Executor's length, and the GAR's size.

I think they would debate this in the "Talk" section.
e.g.

"Bible, Wrath of Khan, what's the difference?"
