Who is Luke and Leia's real father? I see some people on the comments for a video about Obi-Wan/Padme affair theory saying Anakin is not the real father and now i'm confused and sad...who is it? Why are people lying that it's Anakin when it's actually Obi-Wan, I liked it when Anakin was the real father but now he's not?! I don't understand...pls help me...
I'm very upset...Obi-Wan is a bad person for betraying Anakin and stealing his wife from his apprentice who was more like a brother to him...i don't like Obi-Wan anymore he betrayed Anakin....Obi-Wan is evil!!! People should show some sympathy for Anakin and all people do is be mean and hate on him!!! He had a evil master!!!
Pls help me and tell me the truth!!! thanks!

What Is your general opinions about the Jedi-turned-Sith Lord Exar Kun? (Backstory, Combat Abilities, etc)
Okay, this is a pretty controversial topic/theory I had to make, but here's the truth a Palpatine in the six Star Wars movies in my honest opinion.
Now I know majority of people and fans knows that Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) is the main antagonist of the original trilogy of Star Wars.
However, in my case/opinion, the truth is in my unpopular opinion, that Palpatine is the TRUE antagonist of the Star Wars saga, for various reasons, but not much.
Palpatine executes Order 66 and he's the one who attempts to extinct the Jedi, and he is responsible for turning it into the Galactic Empire.
A betrayal toward the Jedi Knights as well.
Forces Anakin to be the Sith, which leads him to become Darth Vader.
Right several seconds away from his death in Death Star II, he attempts to kill Luke Skywalker, who was the son of Anakin himself.
To be fair, I'd rather take Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader over Palpatine. Even so, I feel like that Darth Vader is more of an anti-hero/or a anti-villain than just a villain despite this, since Luke was his father in ESB and ROTJ.
So what do you think of my topic about my thoughts on the difference between Palpatine and Darth Vader? As an adult that I liked Star Wars, I started to figured it out what it came from, and what turned out to be. Hope you like it.
When I watch Avengers Endgame final battle for a billionth time and I hear Thanos say "I am inevitable"
Me:
I’m not trying to hate or anything but some of the changes that are happening in Star Wars are concerning. I mean, i wish things would be more logical like Asajj Ventress coming back from the dead? Seriously? How far is this gonna be taken? Changing existing facts is a huge problem and i’m very worried at some point, major plot points will be changed too and I’m becoming more and more concerned. Like Palpatine coming back from the dead to some extent made sense but still some of these changes are so bothersome. Does anyone understand what i’m feeling? I really like logic and when this type of stuff happens it really makes me upset. I am gonna apply this to World Between Worlds. WBW also really bothers me and still don’t understand it.

Bravo to all the mentioned contributors! Applause to Lew for his 14 CAN’s! As well as to Spooky with 1 GAN and 8 CAN’s, who’s trying noticeably to put as much as possible, all of the Escape from Valo’s content into status articles. Also, highlights to Sanathestarr for her 4 GAN’s, all of them about something “unidentified”, lol
In addition to those from the previous week, we’ve got a total of 459 SA’s! 303 comprehensive (66%), 141 good (30%), and 15 featured (3%)! We’re really close to reach the milestone of 500 SA’s. I’m confident that will be accomplished this month still.

🗞️ Star Wars News
New Releases
Making our first stop, the galactic gangster, himself modeled the cover for Star Wars Insider #224.
As always, if a new piece of media is released, and you would like to discuss it with the community, you are more than welcome to make the official discussion post for it. Until then, the link to the article will be provided.
Next, we had a "double whammy" of Bad Batch episodes this Wednesday with Infiltration and extraction releasing. @Lost Jagger has the official discussion for them both!
Darth Vader (2020) continued in its 44th issue. Love those Tatooine-ish tones!
The Mace Windu miniseries released its 2nd issue. Now hold on a second... you don't think that these Bore worms of Ro Mira could have been inspired by Dune do you? We're looking pretty sandy and full of teeth if you ask me (which of course you did). With all the Dune hype going around, I couldn't help, but notice a similarity there.
Last for our new releases section, we have a pretty gnarly looking High Republic Adventures #4 cover. Those fellers ain't lookin' like good guys!

The projects of the community is once more inhabited by @Cyborg Commando as he continues to make fools of us in Guess That Article. He proceeded to royally thrash the community in round 147 and has now innocently moved on to round 148 to taunt us for a second time! Do not let it be for a third, my companions!
Featured
Rightfully featured this week was @Spookywilloww's dissertation on Bureaucracy and whether it is something worth retrying after it faltered against the Palpster and allows for corruption to run rampant. For her thoughts and summary on the matter, read it here:
Honorable Mentions
Using my emergency powers to showcase a post that I deem worthy, I wanted to shout-out another short essay that we had shared with us this week by @Lord Maaar on Valkorion that I enjoyed. I really don't know anything about the old republic besides knowledge of a few character's existences, so getting a bit more education on the subject was interesting. I found it curious that the Valkster wanted to inhale the galaxy so that he could become a farmer. I don't know about you, but that sounds like an absolutely lit villain motive to me. However, as M triple a r describes, it wasn't upheld across his many appearances, so it really didn't go anywhere, which I think is pretty depressing. (My disappointment is immensurable and my day is henceforth ruined!) Anyways, here it is for you to check out if you wish. Thanks for your thoughts, triple A!

TL;DR: SWTOR articles should not assume certain choices were made unless anavoidable.
It makes sense to have one ending be the "canon" one (within the Legends continuity) for games like the Force Unleashed, which has one specified canon ending. And indeed, most Star Wars games with player choices work like this.
So for these games, it makes to do things the way they are already done, to have the "canon" ending in the article, and then having alternate endings or story changes in the behind the scenes section.
However, I disagree with the way the wiki does things for SWTOR. The devs have repeatedly stated that there are no "canon" choices in the game. There is no reason to assume that any choices are the "canon" ones.
For this game, the wiki, has reached the decision to assume that Republic-aligned characters make all light-side choices, and that Imperial-aligned characters make all dark-side choices. Articles are meant to include those choices and their outcomes in the main body, and alternate choices in the behind the scenes section.
I do understand the purpose of this in clearing up continuity. However, there is no reason to assume that those are the personalities of the characters. Also, especially for the tech classes, making all light-side or all dark-side choices doesn't even necessarily result in a consistent character. Furthermore, while this format is followed for major articles, it is far from being applied to all SWTOR articles.
Most importantly, in my opinion, Wookieepedia is intended to provide up-to-date, accurate, Star Wars information. Since no choices are meant to be "more canon" than others, by treating them as such, Wookieepedia is providing inaccurate information.
I propose that instead, articles on characters/events/etc. in SWTOR should, in the article body, mostly ignore choices and just focus on the main story beats, as the main story progresses in the same way regardless of choices. Wherever this is not possible as a choice/result of a choice is integral to the story, such as the ending of the Imperial Agent story, then put the warning that says "This section of the article assumes that the player chooses only "dark side" options when available during the course of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Alternate stories are noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. Note: The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon within the Star Wars Legends continuity." This is already used on major SWTOR articles, but it is over the entire thing, rather than as minimal an amount as possible.
In the behind the scenes section, you can denote all possible choices.
P.S. I know I'm new to the wiki, but I would help with changing this, and please don't discount what I am saying simply because I am new.
P.P.S. Unrelated, but for SWTOR protagonists that don't have a proper "nickname" just use their callsign. The Bounty Hunter is still called "Hunter (individual), just call them "Scree".
