Comments

 * 1) If anyone needs a reason to vote against this, take this stupid statement from the Blue Milk page: I have to say I think Jedipedia does a far superior job to the bloated and poorly organized Wookieepedia. One perfect example is the entry on Palpatine. Where Wookieepedia has a monstrous 120+ page mess (enough to inspire this very joke by BMS), Jedipedia is far more succinct and structured. Let me make this perfectly clear. 120 pages of text. Just about Palpatine. That’s the sort of out of control monster that is Wookieepeida. Thank you Jedipedia for existing. Your Palpatine article is 25 pages. Yes. I have too much time on my hands. Well, not really. I just grossly misuse my time. I sometimes wonder if people can actually comprehend what I’m telling them when I say that Wookieepedia has a 120+.: I'm German and I know Jedipedia. It is fine, but this statement is incorrect.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 21:36, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

Dear 2-1B (+5)
"How many times do I have to tell you people? I mean, I'm only try to help save your lives. You think Star Wars is all about looking cool, but it's not. It's about ensuring the health and survival of all Rebel officers stationed on Hoth Base, and administering medical assistance to all who qualify as listed under calculation zone 6C quadrant 2 – and believe me, I know that at the deepest levels of my programming."

Birth of the twins (+7)
"Leia took a deep breath. Finally. After ten hours of labor- after nine months of pregnancy- the end was finally in sight. No. Not the the end. The beginning. They laid the twins in her arms a few minutes later....and as she looked first at them and then up at Han, she felt a sense of utter peace settle over her. Out among the stars there might be a war going on; but for here, and for now, all was right with the universe."

- Leia Organa Solo right after the birth of her twins

Fate of the Jedi: An Apology (+10)
"Some people take so many chances with their lives that they’re already up to their third or fourth clone. I’ve lost track as to whether it’s Boooba Fett or Booooba Fett inside that Mandalorian armor. (The armor’s probably on its second or third generation, too. Fett gets shot at a lot.)"

Lost Tribe of the Sith: Secrets (+5)
"Unfazed [by her husband's death], the widow Hilts soldiered on, targeting the faction leader for seduction the very next week. Minions carefully delivered her to the leader’s private bedchambers in a massive ceremonial urn. Unfortunately, the lid was stubborn, and no one had told her the leader was spending the month campaigning in the high country. However, she did achieve her surprise, if the horror of the cleaning servants counted."
