(anon for shyness, nothing more) In the "list of pages I would love to see": a list of the 501st members (pre order-66 is my personal interest), when they joined, died. Not details, just, who's who in the 501st. Because it's it's the kind of detail that's hard to easily gather. And some of it is totally contradictory -- Legends vs canon -- but even knowing the contradictions helps.

Sort of like the list of Jedi who survived the Purge? Once you know a clone's name, looking up info becomes easy. But knowing who was in the 501st -- or like, other legions! -- is really hard to pull from wookiepedia because the "list" doesn't exist in one place.

Anyway, that would help a humongous lot for fic writing, and it's not something Wookiepedia does well (or at all): lists of background characters, and their timeline entrances and exits from the GAR.

It will probably take a very long time for us to do this because it's just... so enormous, but luckily other people have done it! We can't 100% vouch for the accuracy, but two heroes have resources that you might be interested in: a spreadsheet by @clonetroops and this post by @propheticfire.

You can find more handy links to clone wars references here!

Ohboyohboy SO MANY BLUE MILK THOUGHTS, some I've had and some brand new to ponder!

As far as canonical stuff, this brings up that I still need to further research a couple fleeting mentions of fermentation, one that could just be a joke made out of universe and one that's devoid of context other than "a bartender said it" in the Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG. Also an implication in 1998 that "blue milk" is a beverage where just one ingredient is milk and it turns blue after mixing. (This has since changed!) But the fermentation joke(?) and the description of mixing it both come from Stephen J. Sansweet, so what SW stories or materials did he have in mind?

Anyone know of any info that'd contradict the theory that the Blue Milk fan film is why blue milk is bantha milk? Or of any time they were the same thing before this fan film?

As far as bantha products and colors, what's a Watsonian take on post-Star Wars Galaxies Legends having green bantha butter instead of blue? (Doylist: bantha milk wasn't blue then.) And The Old Republic MMORPG (still going!) mentions "blue milk going a little green".

For a lot more on blue milk in canon, with a heads-up to do whatever you need to do when you visit a Fandom URL:

the people need your deepest thoughts on the whole blue milk situation

Love the implication that he drinks milk all the time, and that the habit continued throughout his years with the rebels. That one comic where Han asks for a stiff drink and Luke asks for a milk to go with it lives rent free in my mind…

Is there any content that people want to see from this blog? I initially imagined highlighting specific articles, and while we'll definitely do that periodically, I'm discovering that I often don't feel like pages are complete enough to be promo-able (at least, the ones I'm working on).

Hey anon! I have a present for you: Games. This is by no means finished -- it's missing sabacc along with a bunch of other games -- but it's a start! I won't be able to edit it for two weeks, so I'm putting the current progress here for you. (If anyone wants to expand the page while I'm gone, that would be great!)

OH MY GOOOD thank you do much for this amazing work you do!!!

i was wondering if anyone can make/find a real life -> star wars page for games (especially card games) to help writers with scenes set in casinos & similars or just. u know. grandmas passing their times

Absolutely! It won't be ready immediately, of course, but we've begun the research. Thanks for the request -- it helps us know what people would find useful. <3

Introducing the Star Wars Reference Wiki!

Introducing the Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki, a wiki for fic writers by fic writers!

The Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki is intended as a way for fic writers and other fanwork creators to easily look up pertinent information without having to slog through dense paragraphs or comb through categories with dozens or even hundreds of entries with few indicators of what the pages are. Do you want lists? Do you want tables? Do you want easily digestible bullet points? We've got 'em!

We build pages from common questions we or other fic writers have, such as:

All these fics incorporate events from Jedi Apprentice, but what really happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi in Legends?

How do the stories in Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars mesh together?

Which characters are LGBTQIA+? Who are some LGBTQIA+ creators who have worked on a Star War? How about a timeline of LGBTQIA+ people and content?

BBY/ABY, BrS/GrS, BFE/AFE... what's the difference between these and all those other calendars? What calendar do characters use before the Battle of Yavin?

What are some idioms or kriffing swears this character could use to sound more Star Wars-y?

Does the GFFA have its own version of a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup?

What could be used as a pack animal in one of the many, many deserts?

Why does this fic call him "Yan" or "Glamnor" Dooku? Is her full name Padmé Amidala Naberrie or something else?

How many costumes does Padmé wear? What about other SW costumes?

What are some canonical design options for a Kiffar OC's facial tattoo?

Are these the droids you're looking for?

Are you constantly losing those handy tumblr posts compiling useful resources? We have a permanent page for that!

(Swears in light mode; LGBTQIA+ characters in dark mode)

We've only recently started building the wiki, and are creating new pages all the time! We'd love help or suggestions for new pages. Have you never edited a wiki before? No problem! We have a tutorial for that. Are you not super confident about your English? No worries! Other wiki editors are here to help! We have a Discord server for the wiki, and side channels for things like SW fic recs and general fan chat.

Thank you for initial brainstorming and showing us there was an interest in and audience for this wiki, from us (facingthenorthwind and immithrax) to you: @nimata-beroya, @cacodaemonia, @elismor, @genericficerblog, @seth-shitposts, @takadasaiko, and @virusq!

Many hands make great wikis, so please, come on over and join us, and check back to see what new things we have in store! If you find our pages useful, we'd also love if you could spread the word, so other people can make use of the resources we've worked hard to create.

Eee!

I wasn't aware of Torian and Rass, so thank you very much and I've put both on my to-be-researched list! Could I have a little more to go on for Torian since That Other Wiki is unhelpful and only mentions M/F? Thank you for the heads-up on missed characters and we welcome hearing about any others, too!

Goran, Medrit, Lana, Theron, and Koth are indeed listed on the Legends section of LGBTQIA+ characters, and written up in various parts of the LGBTQIA+ timeline, with the Mando husbands as one of the answers to the question "What was the first LGBTQ+ couple in Star Wars?". Should that be "Who was"? It feels like it should be "who was".

Please let us know if we've missed anything on these or any other characters, or if up for it, how about giving editing a try? :)
