At some point, we all have to ask ourselves why we are spending our precious free time obsessively studying and cataloging a fictional universe. After a lot of thought, I have come to realize that our goal of creating a fan-made Star Wars encyclopedia is not, and never has been, important to me. I am only a marginal fan these days and I frankly do not care about the Star Wars universe anymore.

Furthermore, I have never been a believer in the wiki way. The idea that truth should be bandied about and agreed upon during this cryptic and absurdly flawed postmodern process known as "consensus", has always disgusted me.

I came here to correct some inaccuracies within certain KotOR related articles and I got sucked in. Before I knew it, I was spending hours fixing templates and rewriting entire articles. And just when I was beginning to lose interest, I was voted WotM. The award touched me and inspired me to commit myself further. A little while later I became an administrator. Yet, when I step back and think about how much time I have sunk into this project, I am hard pressed to really consider that time well spent.

Sure, I have done a lot of hard work here and I am fairly pleased with what I have been able to accomplish, but ultimately, I cannot stop myself from asking "who really cares?" Who cares what year the Mandalorian Wars started? Who cares about the canon inconsistencies caused by the introduction of the True Sith? Who cares if the Jedi Exile was male of female? Who cares whether or not Juhani was bisexual? Who honestly cares? I don't.
