Unidentified Whill

After a long time from the events nearing 0 BBY, a Whill was tasked with writing the Journal of the Whills, in which the individual was expected to record the history of the galaxy. Going through extensive research on the subject&mdash;hearing every versions of the story, viewing every holocron, studying every artifact&mdash;the Whill planned on opening up the story with the events that occurred in the Imperial Era, while rejecting the fellow Whill's protest to start from the Republic Era. The writer Whill insisted the fellow Whill to go write his/her own journal after having enough of complaints, which the fellow Whill agreed to and left murmurring about having great ideas of an episode of Chewbacca's family celebrating Life Day. Then the writer Whill continued his summary of events: from the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Rebellion, to the first Alliance victory on Scarif by rebel spies, and finally Princess Leia Organa's secret mission to Tatooine.

Behind the scenes
The unidentified Whill appeared in "Whills", a story written by Tom Angleberger that is included in the anthology From a Certain Point of View. The concept of two Whills arguing over the events of Star Wars while writing the text&mdash;which is in fact the opening crawl for Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope &mdash;reflects modern Star Wars fandom with references toward certain subjects fans love and hate, such as (but not limited to) Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series, The Star Wars Holiday Special, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
