I'm not sure if any of you have heard of this already, but Wookieepedo got locked out of its own twitter page and are now tweeting through an alt.

As some of you might recall, two of its biggest jannies were banned a little while ago due to "transphobia" and "sexism" because they "deadnamed" a former Lucasfilm employee by featuring his "pre-transition" name on his page and this angered the individual who was angry at them for mentioning his real life history and birth name, despite that its the same case with every other real world figure recorded on Wookieepedo who's had a name change, as they all have their former name listed on their page, and the "sexism" was due to the highly hated but harmlessly goofy "breasts" article which was made for shits and giggles but offended many on FANDOM for being "sexist", "juvenile" and "discriminatory", and the page has since then been censored to Hell and back. After the ban of the two top jannies, Wookieepedo started a massive overhaul to remove "tedious and problematic articles" and make others more politically correct little by little, starting with the new LGBTQIA project they got going on. This has naturally led to a decline in quality and a loss of fan history. The banned jannies in question were also globally banned from the rest of Wikia/FANDOM forever.
Despite this, the two ex-jannies are now going on a little revenge trip, starting with taking over Wookieepedo's twitter account and removing several past tweets that were aimed at them. The Wookieepedo rumor mill has it that they may be planning something far bigger for Wookieepedo itself, but what that may be is anyone's guess. However as of yet they haven't made any new tweets on the main twitter account. Personally, I wouldn't shed a tear if Wookieepedo was hacked tomorrow and all its content and backups mysteriously disappeared.
Unsurprisingly, several youtubers like Eckhartz and SW Explained are pissed about this and are praising the trans justice.
Meanwhile, Disney has been promoting Revan more heavily as of late due to his apparent cameo in the upcoming High Republic tv show and comics... Even getting another new figure, and you know this is just more cheap pandering because they know nobody wants their new shit.
And James Mangold, the director of Indy 5 had a meltdown on Twitter.
So yeah, I'm expecting this to be a trashfire that people might turn a blind eye to thanks to empty nostalgia. We also learn that this movie may be stupider than anticipated and may feature CGI Ford in abundance...
That and the continuity will be just as fucked for the sake of going back to square one... Just like with SW... Oh joy...
Since its acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, Disney has not released a single piece of...

And they're already bragging about wiping the slate/canon clean like when Disney did the same with SW because that just did wonders for them...
