Biography
Long after the events of the Galactic Civil War, this Whill took on the task of writing an account of the events of the history of the galaxy, to be recorded in the Journal of the Whills. Going through extensive research on the subject—hearing every versions of the story, viewing every holocron, studying every artifact—the Whill planned on beginning the story with the events that occurred in the Imperial Era. A fellow Whill protested and suggested starting from the Republic era, but the writer rejected the protest and insisted the other Whill write their own account in the Journal of the Whills—which the other Whill agreed to, leaving the writer alone while murmurring about having great ideas of an episode of Chewbacca's family celebrating Life Day.
The writer Whill continued his summary of events: from the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, to the Alliance victory on Scarif by Rebel spies, and finally Princess Leia Organa's secret mission to Tatooine.[1]
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—which is in fact the opening crawl for Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope —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.
